Hilax Chamberlain - PeerSpot reviewer
Digital Marketing Manager at Ford Motor Company
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.

Creates user groups and streamlines communication
I think we should have some improvements in Yammer, similar to what we have in Facebook and others, where we can have targeted communications, so that we can filter some communications to go to a specific subset of that group, not to everybody. We would love to have some AI technologies included in Yammer, but I do not have a specific use case in mind right now.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"Adobe Experience Manager is quite a powerful product that you can use to design files and export them."
"Using Adobe Experience Manager has positively impacted our organization by improving our efficiency significantly."
"Brand management, Digital Transformation of organization and Most dynamic site."
"Ease of use for content authors and tight integration with Adobe Marketing Cloud Products like Target, Analytics, Campaign; a complete solution for organizational digital marketing needs."
"The integration of customer behavior and website setup is impressive."
"I like the native applications such as Adobe Target, Adobe Analytics, and Adobe Experience Platform, and because of these, it's very easy to connect and obtain reports on how my website is doing, how many have visited it, and how frequently."
"External collaboration with partners: There is a unified way to send updates about departments and the enterprise, rather than sending separate communications."
"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."
"Lean process improvements and quality control are built into Yammer."
"The tool allows us to post and keep track of company buzz and events without relying on email."
"Integration into SharePoint is a valuable feature as it provides better exposure and access to users."
"The most valuable feature of Yammer is its integration with all the services of Office 365."
"We can send out notifications and ask questions using Yammer."
"Co-workers feel comfortable creating groups for collaboration, communication, and non-work related, personable groups."
 

Cons

"The licensing plus implementation and maintenance cost is very expensive, making it not suitable for small organizations, and the setup is very complex."
"The licensing plus implementation and maintenance cost is very expensive, making it not suitable for small organizations, and the setup is very complex."
"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."
"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."
"Adobe's technical support is so-so."
"Even more out of box components, UI designs."
"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."
"We tried to integrate into SharePoint, but it was not really efficient."
"This solution would be improved if it was well integrated with other communication applications."
"Technical support specifically gets a fair rating."
"They need to somehow enable better document sharing features. They need to provide joint drafting of documents."
"There's always going to be room for improvement, because it's not the answer for everything."
"We had some scalability issues."
"MS made us plenty of promises for Yammer and have not delivered."
"Yammer can improve the effectiveness of its usage by addressing the metrics that measure user trust and perception."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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