Akshat Prakash - PeerSpot reviewer
A powerful product that can be used for user experience, product design, and user journeys
I use the solution’s online version licenses. Adobe Experience Manager is deployed on-cloud in our organization. People could use Adobe Experience Manager if pricing is not a challenge for them. Before using Adobe Experience Manager, people can start with free tools like Inkscape, Pencil, or Sketch. Overall, I rate Adobe Experience Manager an eight out of ten.
Neilsen Seixas - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlines document management and enhances collaboration through its robust features and intuitive interface
It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework. It employs document management methodologies. The personalization and customization capabilities of Oracle Content Management system are highly praised by customers. When they receive responses using this solution, the feedback is overwhelmingly positive. Customers love the ability to customize and personalize Oracle products to suit their needs. Integrating three Oracle products into one seamless solution enhances the user experience, making it easier for end-users to engage without being aware of the individual products involved. They simply interact with the solution, streamlining their digital processes. One significant challenge that our customers faced before implementing Oracle Content Management was effectively managing a large volume of documents. They struggled with centralizing document storage and organization. However, Oracle Content Management provided a solution by centralizing document management, making it easier and more efficient to handle. The user experience, especially in terms of simplicity and design of the Oracle Content Management interface, was a priority. I utilized the Oracle Content Management API for this purpose, ensuring seamless integration with other solutions. We consolidated three solutions into one user interface through the Oracle portal, which incorporated BPM and DPM for task management. This unified interface provided a streamlined experience for customers, rather than directly interacting with the Oracle Content Management interface. Our main challenge in implementing this was using ADF from Oracle. At the time, there was a scarcity of programmers skilled in the ADF framework in Brazil, necessitating in-house training for our team of developers to successfully execute the integration.

Pros

"I like the profiling and segmentation."
"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."
"It's a complete package. You don't need to look elsewhere for digital marketing."
"Adobe Experience Manager is quite a powerful product that you can use to design files and export them."
"Easy to work with the solution."
"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."
"Adobe Experience Manager is pretty stable."
"The reliability of the system is significant, creating a lot of trust among our customers."
"It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
 

Cons

"Tool-wise, the Adobe Experience Manager support team is not very responsive when the user face issues in AEM as a Cloud Service."
"A little bit of background knowledge of coding and website structure is required."
"The solution's pricing and stability could be improved."
"The licenses are very expensive."
"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."
"Adobe's technical support is so-so."
"Programming model could be improved, it's a monolithic solution."
"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."
"On the ITM side, there are conflicts, particularly on the convergence side, where it does not support cluster environments."
"Oracle Content Management poses complexities in initial implementation and configuration."
"The only issue my company has with the tool is the licensing part, which is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The tool's licensing part is expensive."
