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.

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

"I think DAM (Digital Asset Management) is most valuable to me; the data is increasing, and in order to manage millions of assets which a large enterprise has, it provides lots of capabilities (searching, reporting, managing, workflows for automation, etc.)."
"It is a first-in-class product."
"I like the native applications such as Adobe Target, Adobe Analytics, and Adobe Experience Platform. Because of these, it's very easy to connect and obtain reports on how my website is doing, how many have visited it, how frequently, etc. The multiple publisher concept is one of the best parts of this solution."
"It's a complete package. You don't need to look elsewhere for digital marketing."
"Adobe Experience Manager has made document management smoother because many people use Adobe, making it simpler for me to modify and resend PDF documents."
"Adobe Experience Manager is quite a powerful product that you can use to design files and export them."
"I'm quite happy with the platform."
"Adobe Experience Manager is a content management system, and we use it to create and manage a website."
"The most valuable features to me are the ability to create contents with the interface, such as creating database tables, and the product's JSP APIs and REST APIs are also very useful."
"With WebCenter, we can scan and capture all the information correctly, which is then imported into the system automatically."
"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
"In terms of scalability, it is easy to scale."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"The business user has the capability to update content, look, and feel."
"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"The solution's pricing and stability could be improved."
"The licensing model is opaque, and technical support could be improved, especially for smaller companies."
"With the default template design, it is difficult to manage the different resolutions of images."
"The licenses are very expensive."
"The licensing plus implementation and maintenance cost is very expensive, making it not suitable for small organizations, and the setup is very complex."
"Because of the improvement needed with the client-side framework and because page loading takes time, I rate Adobe Experience Manager at seven out of ten."
"AEM, when setup using Mongo, rapidly gains size; hence it consumes a lot of storage space in a very short period of time."
"I love DAM, but still think there are improvement areas."
"Initial setup was simple for standard things, but for customisation and third-party integration, it can get cumbersome."
"Some parts of the product seemed to be unstable; various exceptions which lead to reaching out for Oracle support."
"I would like to see better performance."
"In terms of what needs to be improved, I would say the speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"This lapse is very bad for my company because I can't change the version of Word and downgrade."
"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."
"If you compare it and other products side by side, you would not buy Oracle."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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