Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a complete package. You don't need to look elsewhere for digital marketing."
"The most valuable features of Adobe Experience Manager include its capability to manage content and create reusable fragments."
"Adobe Experience Manager is a content management system, and we use it to create and manage a website."
"The integration of customer behavior and website setup is impressive."
"I like the profiling and segmentation."
"Easy to work with the solution."
"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 quite a powerful product that you can use to design files and export them."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the communication events."
"The initial setup was simple and straightforward."
"It's really easy to use the solution."
"It was a stable solution...It was a highly scalable solution considering it was used in a very big company."
"Valuable features include the integration with Microsoft Office and the fact that it is in the cloud. Also, it's quite easy to use."
"Yammer brings in the most relevant posts to the users."
"We can send out notifications and ask questions using Yammer."
"The most valuable feature of Yammer is its interface."
 

Cons

"Tool-wise, the Adobe Experience Manager support team is not very responsive when the user face issues in AEM as a Cloud Service."
"Adobe's technical support is so-so."
"Adobe Experience Manager's pricing could be improved."
"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."
"The solution's pricing and stability could be improved."
"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."
"A little bit of background knowledge of coding and website structure is required."
"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 product seems to just add to the complexity of using existing tools."
"Yammer should include more integrations."
"If you are using other applications that are tough to integrate into the environment, that can cause limitations."
"Yammer has very limited features."
"We tried to integrate into SharePoint, but it was not really efficient."
"I would rate the stability of Yammer as six out of ten."
"I would like to see a fancier user interface. That is one of the weak points of Yammer."
"Users need to be in the Acting Directory to exploit the features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The pricing is not bad."
"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."
"Yammer is a pretty cheap solution, and it's included in multiple subscriptions."
"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 don't know about the pricing. Now that Microsoft has bought Yammer, it should be a part of our subscriptions for Office 365."
"Compared to other products like Amazon, Yammer's pricing is fine."
