Senior Technical Program Manager /Senior Lead Solution Architech- Product Technology & Gen AI at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees

Have faced challenges with setup and pricing but have found flexibility and support helpful

Adobe Experience Manager needs more optimization. The frequency of components where we have vitals of a page or an app needs to be optimized because these are heavy Java codes along with some AEM developments. The code language should be optimized or they should have some string functions or web plugins to create a lighter version rather than implementing large amounts of code lines. They should start implementing industry best practices which are not currently offered. We perform our internal development for customization at our own pace. We have multiple frameworks that help us in various ways. We are advancing in terms of AI integration. We have already started our own POCs before Adobe implements these features.

Executive Vice President - Head Digital Partnership and Alliances at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

Has a user-friendly interface but performance is not up to scratch

I mainly use WebCenter for content management and publishing WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly. WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system. Its performance is also not up to the market standard, and its agility and adaptability could be improved.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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."

"Over the past two to three years, the organization has grown rapidly with Adobe Experience Manager as a best and supportive tool."

"Adobe Experience Manager is quite a powerful product that you can use to design files and export them."

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

"Adobe Experience Manager is one of the best enterprise-level content management and digital experience platforms available."

"Easy to work with the solution."

"I like the profiling and segmentation."

More Adobe Experience Manager pros

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

"Integration within the solution is very good."

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

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

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

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

"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

"The pricing and setup cost for Adobe Experience Manager is a bit higher compared to different content management tools."

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

"The licenses are very expensive."

"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."

"Adobe Experience Manager could improve by allowing the reuse of components like a progress bar across multiple pages to make the development process more efficient."

"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."

"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."

More Adobe Experience Manager cons

"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."

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

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

"Its functions need more stability."

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

"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."

"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's really costly."

"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."

"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee to use the solution, which is highly-priced."

"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."

"The price needs to be lowered."

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