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…

Gives me easy access, connection and compatibility with all of the Oracle products

WebCenter content access has a lot of options and flexibility. At this time, I only see one problem: in the sub-content and channels surrounding Windows 10. It only functions with Windows 7 and Windows 8. All of the operating systems in my company are up-to-date and we are using Windows 10. For whatever reason, you can't use the Oracle content on these platforms at all. This lapse is very bad for my company because I can't change the version of Word and downgrade. Maybe it is just a technical problem. But it is a lot of my problem with this solution currently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Adobe Experience Manager is a content management system, and we use it to create and manage a website."

"It is easy to learn. You don't need to be an advanced Java developer."

"Adobe Experience Manager is pretty stable."

"Easy to work with the solution."

"The integration of customer behavior and website setup is impressive."

"It's a complete package. You don't need to look elsewhere for digital marketing."

"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 most valuable features of Adobe Experience Manager include its capability to manage content and create reusable fragments."

More Adobe Experience Manager pros

"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."

"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."

"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."

"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."

"Integration within the solution is very good."

"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."

"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet."

Cons

"Programming model could be improved, it's a monolithic solution."

"In comparison to other CMS products, Adobe Experience Manager is missing some capabilities such as proper versioning or a better versioning system and backend connectivity. If something is deleted in AEM, the user cannot recover it. You have to call technical support, and they will need to recover the whole instance. So, it's really difficult. For example, if you delete a page, you cannot recover it. There should be an option to recover it. In AEM, you have to go to the previous state of the instance itself or the virtual machine, and you have to restore everything, which is not good."

"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."

"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."

"Adobe's technical support is so-so."

"The solution's pricing and stability could be improved."

"The licensing model is opaque, and technical support could be improved, especially for smaller companies."

"A little bit of background knowledge of coding and website structure is required."

More Adobe Experience Manager cons

"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."

"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."

"There are many document management systems that offer pretty much the same functionalities but at a lower price. The product as such is pretty good. However, the pricing is not comparable. They need to adjust their pricing to be more competitive on the market."

"The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product."

"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."

"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."

"Its functions need more stability."

"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's really costly."

"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."

"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."

"The price needs to be lowered."

"The price of this solution is considered to be high; however, when speaking with Oracle, it is possible to get discounts of up to sixty percent."

"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
