Digital Marketing Manager at Ford Motor Company
Centralized content management has unified our digital channels and delivers consistent experiences
Adobe Experience Manager offers enterprise-level digital assets management and very robust customization, brand value consistency, and omnichannel delivery. It saves development and maintenance time. The digital asset management and omnichannel delivery features have benefited my team by managing our digital assets, ensuring brand consistency, and enabling us to deliver customized content easily to our clients. Organizing and obtaining information from results is beneficial. Strengthening our online experience as a brand is valuable. Easy integration with other Adobe services improves productivity and provides a smooth experience. Adobe Experience Manager has positively impacted my organization by enabling component and page reuse, which reduces application size. It saves manual effort for maintaining all applications, improves traffic, and ensures consistency across all our applications. It provides better security, scalability, and makes our applications more robust.

Accurate branch data has driven more appointments and improved customer review management
The platform can be improved by optimizing the automated AI responses and providing different templates of responses available in the review and reputation management section. Additionally, allowing various integration types would be beneficial. Although Yext Digital Presence Platform has API integrations with 200 publishers, allowing other types of integrations such as those connected through a CDN would enhance functionality. Regarding the user interface, there are no concerns. However, with reporting, it would have been beneficial to have direct integration to Data Studio or other reporting systems where we could grab data and display it in a more friendly, visual way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integration of customer behavior and website setup is impressive."
"It is easy to learn. You don't need to be an advanced Java developer."
"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 Asset module has received a lot of focus and is currently one of the best solutions for Digital Asset Management out there."
"If you're looking for a .NET based CMS, do yourself a favor and go with an open source CMS."
"Adobe Experience Manager is pretty stable."
"The most valuable features of Adobe Experience Manager include its capability to manage content and create reusable fragments."
"It helps us with analytics, application design for specific platforms, and enables us to easily create applications for iOS and Android."
"For example, there is a salon that I started working with, which was generating almost 20k a month, and after I used Yext Digital Presence Platform with them, within six months they increased profit to 60k."
"The main benefit of using Yext Digital Presence Platform is that we no longer have to update data manually across multiple entities or social media platforms, as the process is now automated."
"The best features Yext Digital Presence Platform offers is that it is easy to navigate, it is simple to use, and I appreciate the user-friendly way that you are able to use it."
"Direct Listing Syncing, the Yext Knowledge Graph, and Yext Pages were the most impactful features because they improved our organic results and had a positive impact on our business."
 

Cons

"AEM, when setup using Mongo, rapidly gains size; hence it consumes a lot of storage space in a very short period of time."
"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 integration of the product with other Adobe Marketing Cloud products could be improved."
"The licensing plus implementation and maintenance cost is very expensive, making it not suitable for small organizations, and the setup is very complex."
"Bug troubleshooting is challenging and requires developer expertise."
"Adobe Experience Manager is not so simple to use, so others should have some experience with similar programs."
"I haven't seen any areas for improvement in Adobe Experience Manager as it's a full-fledged CMS tool, and Adobe is already working on enhancements for the solution. Adobe is working to make Adobe Experience Manager more valuable and easier to use for any user, even non-technical ones, through multiple components and templates. Day by day, Adobe provides the latest update to Adobe Experience Manager, and if my team needs any particular change, it just needs to be reported to the Adobe team. As Adobe Experience Manager has a broad scope and a lot of use cases and features, it's a solution that requires some time and effort from you in terms of learning, especially if you're implementing it for different clients, which could be an area for improvement."
"I love DAM, but still think there are improvement areas."
"The platform can be improved by optimizing the automated AI responses and providing different templates of responses available in the review and reputation management section."
"I think Yext Digital Presence Platform's pricing, setup cost, and licensing could be refined better."
"One thing that could be improved is the real-time updates. Currently, when we send changes to Yext Knowledge Graph, the updates are reflected in the analytics tool with some delay, around thirty minutes to an hour."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's really costly."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee to use the solution, which is highly-priced."
"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."
"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."
