User-friendly experience has supported static sites and personalization for multiple channels
Regarding AI-driven analytics in Adobe Web Experience Management, AI analytics is not yet used; however, since recently there was a push at a global market level to move to AI part, Adobe also introduced certain things, but currently, I have not used it. From an integration point of view, as I said, for Adobe suite products, Adobe provided it. However, mainly for the cloud one, Adobe Web Experience Management on-premises has certain restrictions from a compliance point of view. Adobe has hosted it in their environment, and now I think most clients are moving to AMS as well. However, when it comes to third-party integrations, there are certain restrictions, especially in finance organizations. For the retail sector, support provided by Adobe is pretty good but clients are still restricting themselves from moving to the cloud due to compliance issues, which I believe is not because of Adobe Web Experience Management but rather because of the cloud structure itself. Improvement-wise, I think Adobe Web Experience Management site-wise is fine, but mainly for the cloud one, it is growing. However, I have observed that certain forms need improvement, and if Adobe has any offering for clients needing private cloud solutions, that would be great. I have seen clients restricting themselves from moving to the cloud, and it depends on Adobe's awareness of this issue through surveys they may have conducted. I don't think I would suggest any additional features for Adobe Web Experience Management because case by case, the requirements may vary. Adobe has tried to provide the vanilla features that are required.

Has improved cross-team collaboration and streamlined case-based workflows
Salesforce can be improved as it runs a little slow, which can be frustrating, and there have been times where the case view page deletes items that are completed in order to make room for new items, but occasionally we still want to refer to those completed items, especially if we're working on a renewal program. So we just have to find a workaround to be able to find those cases again, but it was frustrating to not be able to have them easily accessible in that moment. I chose an eight because being able to move between cases and products more easily would improve the score, and also improving the UI on a product level would make it better for me.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The templates and components that come out of the box are very helpful, especially in terms of the content fragments and experience fragments. Every client would like to have some templates and components, and they would like to cut down the effort of having to create every component that's customized. So, they try to use them out of the box. Other than that, the user roles and permissions workflows, third-party integrations, and system integration are the features that are very important."
"Good content and digital management capabilities."
"The user interface of Adobe Web Experience Management is user-friendly, and that is the main reason most clients are moving to Adobe from other vendors."
"The product is quite user-friendly."
"The product has made our dealings with partners and clients much more structured."
"The tool's most valuable feature is performance."
"One of the best features Salesforce offers is the ability to design custom workflow processes."
"This automation has been incredibly beneficial, reducing our workload and time spent."
"We have our offers in one place, which allows us to see what offers we have provided to our customers."
"I can get live reports on our traffic every day. I log into the dashboard of Salesforce."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the user interface, which is very simple to use."
 

Cons

"Unable to handle very large video files."
"From a technical support point of view for Adobe Web Experience Management, I would rate them a five. They attempt to resolve issues promptly, but response times can vary, and sometimes clients need to wait at least a month for more complex queries related to product parts as the support team has to consult with the core product team, which can take time."
"It would be better if it also supports some styling. Currently, whenever we have to do design for a particular client according to their brand strategy, it takes a good amount of effort. Adobe never focuses on this area. They say that you design your pages, templates, etc. If they can define common components or a common section of the style sheet so that if you want to have a button by default, you can go and just mention the specifications, such as the color code, and those specifications are automatically followed across the whole site or multiple sites according to the brand strategy. Such functionality will be helpful because currently, it takes a lot of effort to manage them separately."
"The system is not particularly easy to use, but there are no alternatives available to me."
"More understanding from the business standpoint will help Salesforce."
"Improvements to the mobile application for a more user-friendly and responsive experience would be a great addition in future releases."
"There's a big learning curve on Salesforce. You have to be a power user. HubSpot was easy to use. HubSpot walks you through what you need to do to make it a successful platform."
"One significant challenge is that the customized code by the consultant is not provided to us. This code is required for any changes, and we have to rely on the consultant for modifications."
"Salesforce is not very user-friendly, and a person won't understand it unless proper training is provided."
"Though Salesforce's customer support is good, something is amiss with it. We faced some challenges in the ticket generation system, and I had to directly connect with our third-party vendor from whom we purchased the product."
"It would be better if we could design our reports much more easily."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's definitely an expensive solution, but it comes with a lot of features and scalability. As compared to other content management systems that we have in the market, AEM is the costliest one. There is no hidden or additional fee."
"The tool is quite pricey compared to other products."
"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is extremely cheap, and ten is very expensive."
"The solution's pricing is competitive."
"The tool is expensive."
"It's a bit expensive compared to others."
"The modules are too expensive."
"The license is yearly."
"Salesforce's licensing costs are yearly. It is expensive."
