    If you are already using multiple other pieces of the Adobe Experience Cloud stack, adobe audience manager is an easy choice. It allows for quick and easy data activation for your first and potentially brokered 2nd party data. However this product will likely be absorbed into the adobe experience platform (AEP) soon. In the end I would wait to see where adobe is truly headed with this product before investing heavily without additional heavy adobe investments.

    Arc XP is the state-of-the-art cloud based CMS for news publishing. It's well suited for large to medium organizations that want a robust, secure and scalable platform. Depending on the use case, it may still require a development team to maintain and make changes to the sites the CMS powers.

    Pros
    Adobe
    • We are able to generate reports that provide valuable insights into potential customer behavior, allowing us to better focus our marketing efforts.
    • By allowing us to understand who are key audiences are and how they overlap with other brands and products, AAM allows us to get a fuller picture of how we should target our audience.
    • Reporting in AAM is wonderful in that it is easy to understand and exportable. The use of graphics and updates make it easier to share insights with various team members--even those with minimum experience in marketing and analytics.

    Cons
    Adobe
    • Biggest challenge we faced is teaching the use of it to our employees how to use it. The UI Should be easy and to understand for all fields.
    • The AdWords integration is not easy to do.
    • UI is sometimes slow and doesn't load Analyticals for more than 24 hours.

    • The CMS lacks a responsive design web interface or a good native app alternative.
    • It's heavily dependent on the AWS infrastructure and a disruption of the AWS service can cause serious problems

    Usability
    Adobe
    Overall usability is great, as are most of Adobe's software. Maybe a UI refresh could make it a bit easier to do advanced functions or reporting but, overall, it works very well. This is something you take for granted with Adobe solutions because when you try another vendor you realize how bad it can be.

    Support Rating
    Adobe
    AAM has good support, but the support is not as available, due to waiting time and queue. The instructions presented are available, but it navigation is not easy between pages. However, instructions are usually direct and straightforward, but any underlying thoughts or questions won’t be easily answered without support from their service.

    I personally like the Adobe Audience Manager interface and it's easier to use for beginners. It also has some features that Google does not, nor do its other competitors. It is worth the money and time spent, overall. I feel like it gives a bigger and more in-depth picture to our company's audience than other programs.

    Return on Investment
    Adobe
    • Overall a Positive Return for Business who go All in on the Adobe Stack
    • Solid work for brokering and anonymously sharing data between first and second parties
    • The death of TRUE 3rd party data has lessened the effectiveness of all DMPs

    • After the implementation of the CMS, the development team started focusing more on developing new features for the site than maintaining the CMS and the infrastructure. 100% of the work is now focused on creating value to the customer.
