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

"The search capability in Adobe Experience Manager is superior, as search capabilities are determined by the metadata, and it also has metadata automation using AI."
"The most valuable features of Adobe Experience Manager include its capability to manage content and create reusable fragments."
"Adobe Experience Manager is quite a powerful product that you can use to design files and export them."
"Adobe Experience Manager has made document management smoother because many people use Adobe, making it simpler for me to modify and resend PDF documents."
"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."
"Adobe Experience Manager is one of the best enterprise-level content management and digital experience platforms available."
"The integration of customer behavior and website setup is impressive."
"If you're looking for a .NET based CMS, do yourself a favor and go with an open source CMS."
"Yammer brings in the most relevant posts to the users."
"The most valuable feature of Yammer is its interface."
"The most valuable feature of Yammer is that it provides integration with Teams."
"Yammer allows collaboration anywhere, anytime, on any device."
"Its most valuable features are the storyline and communities."
"The tool allows us to post and keep track of company buzz and events without relying on email."
"People share expertise and find solution faster while they are feeling to be part of the same team even if they work in different geo"
"This product is very easy to use, and has been widely and easily adopted."
 

Cons

"This review attempts to sum up the miserable experience of using Ektron from a developer's perspective, a server administrator's perspective, and the actual end content editor's perspective."
"Adobe Experience Manager is a powerful platform, but there are a few areas where it could improve."
"The solution's pricing and stability could be improved."
"Bug troubleshooting is challenging and requires developer expertise."
"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."
"The licenses are very expensive."
"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."
"Adobe Experience Manager's pricing could be improved."
"It looks slightly less clean on Chrome compared to Microsoft Edge, but it's a minor difference. There is room for improvement in user experience, like positions of elements."
"It has a very limited use."
"Yammer is not as feature rich as the most mature offering in this space, Jive, however it makes up for this with strikingly intuitive ease of use and a much lower cost."
"Sometimes, we lose access to the solution for unknown reasons."
"Yammer should offer flexibility to allow branding without writing any code."
"I would like to see a fancier user interface. That is one of the weak points of Yammer."
"I would rate the stability of Yammer as six out of ten."
"The solution's feature for sharing could be better."
 

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."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee to use the solution, which is highly-priced."
"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."
"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."
"I think that there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"Yammer is a pretty cheap solution, and it's included in multiple subscriptions."
"The pricing is not bad."
"Compared to other products like Amazon, Yammer's pricing is fine."
