Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the profiling and segmentation."
"It is easy to learn. You don't need to be an advanced Java developer."
"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."
"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."
"Adobe Experience Manager is quite a powerful product that you can use to design files and export them."
"Adobe Experience Manager is a content management system, and we use it to create and manage a website."
"The most valuable features of Adobe Experience Manager include its capability to manage content and create reusable fragments."
"The tool allows us to post and keep track of company buzz and events without relying on email."
"Yammer brings in the most relevant posts to the users."
"Groups is the most valuable feature in Yammer."
"I find it quite simple and intuitive. It's similar to using a more user-friendly interface for SharePoint. It integrates seamlessly with the browser, so you hardly notice you're using it."
"People share their files and ideas and attend meetings in a collaborative manner."
"Yammer allows collaboration anywhere, anytime, on any device."
"The initial setup was simple and straightforward."
"The solution was stable."
 

Cons

"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."
"Many people complain about the price as it's one of the most expensive tools."
"Adobe's technical support is so-so."
"A little bit of background knowledge of coding and website structure is required."
"The licenses are very expensive."
"Adobe Experience Manager's pricing could be improved."
"Tool-wise, the Adobe Experience Manager support team is not very responsive when the user face issues in AEM as a Cloud Service."
"The permissions are a little bit over-complicated."
"The product seems to just add to the complexity of using existing tools."
"The solution must be able to stream by itself, without integration, the same way that you are able to do it on Facebook Live, Instagram, etc. Streaming must be embedded into it."
"Yammer should offer flexibility to allow branding without writing any code."
"Yammer should include more integrations."
"The way you want to control the communication could be an issue. It depends on what kind of company you are. We are a public company, and there are some regulations that we need to comply with. Its ease of use can be an issue for a company because anybody can subscribe and use it. There are many competitors that are overlapping. Since Microsoft bought Yammer, it tends to be in the shadow. It is not put in the front from the service perspective."
"Yammer has very limited features."
"The solution's feature for sharing could be better."
 

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."
"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."
"It's really costly."
"Yammer is a pretty cheap solution, and it's included in multiple subscriptions."
"Its cost is included in the license bundle for Microsoft."
"The pricing is not bad."
"Compared to other products like Amazon, Yammer's pricing is fine."
"We get it as part of our Office 365 subscriptions, so I don't think we pay any additional cost for Yammer. It's included in the Office 365 subscriptions."
"I think that there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"I don't know about the pricing. Now that Microsoft has bought Yammer, it should be a part of our subscriptions for Office 365."

Yammer vs. SP Social in 2013
There are several discussions on SharePoint’s social strategy going on at the moment. I had some great discussions with my MVP mate Adis during Summit last week. Since #SPC12 almost every SharePoint addicted developer, it-pro, power user has reviewed Yammer. If you don’t know what Yammer is, here a…
