Impressive integration of customer behavior with an easy setup and okay support
I've worked with all major content management systems. Currently, I work with the leaders such as Adobe Experience Manager, Sitecore, and Acquia Working with big companies, I help them either consider setting up a new content management system or address issues they might have with their existing…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's a complete package. You don't need to look elsewhere for digital marketing."
"The search capability in Adobe Experience Manager is superior, as search capabilities are determined by the metadata, and it also has metadata automation using AI."
"The integration of customer behavior and website setup is impressive."
"I've used several CMS tools, but Adobe Experience Manager is feature-rich, especially for web security and content management. It's more efficient to manage content on Adobe Experience Manager, and you can do a lot with it, such as updating content at any time, and on any platform, even from mobile or tablet. Adobe Experience Manager is still getting updated daily, and it's the best CMS tool in the market for me. I like that you can manage assets in Adobe Experience Manager. I also like that the solution has an analytics dashboard that shows you where the traffic comes from, how many clicks come from a specific location, the number of clicks and impressions, etc. Adobe Experience Manager can be accessed by other teams, for example, the digital media department of my company, so the solution can be used and updated per each team's requirement. Adobe Experience Manager is more than just a web developer tool, as it also allows visibility tracking and has other uses. I also like that the GUI for Adobe Experience Manager is straightforward and catchy. It has separate folders and icons, so using Adobe Experience Manager isn't tough. The solution is straightforward to use and handle."
"The best feature is the experience fragment; if you want to replicate content across multiple websites with 1,000 or 20,000 pages, this feature helps accomplish it in a fraction of seconds."
"The most valuable features of Adobe Experience Manager include its capability to manage content and create reusable fragments."
"It is easy to learn. You don't need to be an advanced Java developer."
"If you want to use content in a mobile application and you want the content in some other application, you can simply expose it from the CMS to different clients or different systems. It's easy. On top of that, the technology underlying AEM is open-source and is very powerful like Apache Sling and JCR."
"The design of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"Groups is the most valuable feature in Yammer."
"The integration with Teams is the biggest value for us. In fact, it has only become more valuable now that it has integration with Teams. Teams allows you to stream, so that's good."
"The most valuable feature of Yammer is its interface."
"Yammer shows the post’s actions, comments, and how people react. We can quickly see what's going on."
"The most valuable feature of Yammer is that it provides integration with Teams."
"It's really easy to use the solution."
"Valuable features include the integration with Microsoft Office and the fact that it is in the cloud. Also, it's quite easy to use."
 

Cons

"Adobe's technical support is so-so."
"The licensing model is opaque, and technical support could be improved, especially for smaller companies."
"There is a feature missing where if content is created on the UAT environment and needs to be transferred or synced to the production environment, there is no direct way of doing the sync."
"Tool-wise, the Adobe Experience Manager support team is not very responsive when the user face issues in AEM as a Cloud Service."
"Adobe Experience Manager's pricing could be improved."
"The latest trend is to render everything in the client-side framework. For example, SPA or single page application. This is a feature that needs improvement. The cloud deployment pipeline needs to be improved as well."
"The solution's pricing and stability could be improved."
"Programming model could be improved, it's a monolithic solution."
"Yammer should be able to integrate with Microsoft products, such as Outlook."
"Sometimes, we lose access to the solution for unknown reasons."
"Microsoft should work on templating and provide some built-in templates so that the changes can automatically roll out to all the configured communities."
"If you are using other applications that are tough to integrate into the environment, that can cause limitations."
"Users need to be in the Acting Directory to exploit the features."
"Yammer should offer flexibility to allow branding without writing any code."
"The permissions are a little bit over-complicated."
"The way you want to control the communication could be an issue. It depends on what kind of company you are. We are a public company, and there are some regulations that we need to comply with. Its ease of use can be an issue for a company because anybody can subscribe and use it. There are many competitors that are overlapping. Since Microsoft bought Yammer, it tends to be in the shadow. It is not put in the front from the service perspective."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a costly solution. I would rate the price at two out of five on a scale from one to five, where one is the most expensive and five is the most competitive."
"It's really costly."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee to use the solution, which is highly-priced."
"There's a free trial for one month for Adobe Experience Manager, which you can use for learning purposes, then, after the trial period, you'll need to purchase the license. Adobe offers a few plans for Adobe Experience Manager, but I'm unaware of how much my company is paying."
"Its cost is included in the license bundle for Microsoft."
"We get it as part of our Office 365 subscriptions, so I don't think we pay any additional cost for Yammer. It's included in the Office 365 subscriptions."
"Compared to other products like Amazon, Yammer's pricing is fine."
"I think that there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"Yammer is a pretty cheap solution, and it's included in multiple subscriptions."
"I don't know about the pricing. Now that Microsoft has bought Yammer, it should be a part of our subscriptions for Office 365."
"The pricing is not bad."
