Adobe Experience Manager Review

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it to build our main websites for lead generation, and that's deployed globally in I think 26 countries. We use it for our main website and the problem it addresses is consumer education and lead generation.

Pros

  • One of the things that it does very well is it templates the creation of websites so that we can actually deploy and incorporate regional teams to manage their own country sites. Because our industry is highly regulated, they have to know the product and be able to manage their sites to comply with legal and regulatory requirements for their specific country. So it allows us to build a branded website, deploy it globally, and then train local people who are not necessarily web developers or web users in managing the site.

Cons

  • I've been so impressed with the product for so many years. It's kind of hard to pinpoint a specific thing. I would say in general I'd like to see licensing for the product be more scalable. So one of the challenges that we have at our company is that we're a very small brand that's part of a larger organization. So the larger organization typically buys the licensing and so we have to go through them. And if we can't justify purchasing a license for something that would be specific to our niche because we're mainly B2C and the rest of the organization is B2B, it kind of hinders us from being able to grow because we just don't have the budget to buy the license ourselves. So we have to make a business case to our parent organization and if they don't have use for it, we don't get it. So it would be nice if we could have different tiers of licenses so that smaller organizations could maybe use partial product or based on the size of that organization or that sort of thing.

Likelihood to Recommend

I'll answer the second one because I mean, the first one I don't have an issue with. The second scenario is we oftentimes have the need to spin off very small campaign style sites or sites that generate leads but are unbranded and that sort of thing. So that's hard to do in AEM because you have to then create another organization within AEM to do that. And we're talking about sites that are maybe five to 10 pages in size. So we've been investigating Edge, but then that's a different workflow, so we'd have to train people on that. So it would be nice if there was something within the AEM structure that could allow you to do something very similar to Edge, where you make some small micro sites that are not necessarily branded, that you could still host within the platform and not have to retrain everybody on a completely different platform.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using Adobe Experience Manager Cloud services as a main web CMS, central DAM and as well as an Analytics platform for digital channel interactions. We are B2B manufacturing with multi languages, in several subbrands which requires different websites and marketing team to support the content creation globally but also in local countries. Hence the way Adobe Experience Manager is made can support our need to help the business to have marketing modern presence with maintening a brand corporate policies crossed our websites.

Pros

  • Multi site with multi languages
  • Release management from Dev to Prod with automation CI/CD
  • Performance of the website with CDN included

Cons

  • User access management
  • Admin console separated of the experience of the other applications
  • Way to automate the SSL certificate renewal before expiration

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited:
Performance for large corporations. Make easier for business marketing team as soon as they have a digital maturity
Less appropriate:
For admin maintenance and especially to manage with several Adobe solutions, different place to perform changes or setting. Difficulty to get all the setup at one place

AEM review

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use AEM as a platform to host two global websites marketing Immuno-diagnostic testing and instruments. The main purpose of our patient focused website is to inform and encourages patients to test and have a separate commercial website that provides product info and testing resources to labs and hcps.

Pros

  • Multi-site management options help in supporting multiple websites across regions
  • WYSIWYG authoring helps with decentralizing authoring. Page authoring can be easy (when everything is working properly).
  • Language management - language copies and translation workflows are easy to use
  • User governance and workflows

Cons

  • More capable core components. A lot can be achieved with feature rich atomic components.
  • Give authors the ability to save bundles of components that could be dragged and dropped onto the page. It's very often that I'll copy and container with multiple components within it to other pages to avoid redoing certain configurations.
  • Support the bulk-editor in the touch UI. This is a must-have tool for large scale content updates/migrations without dev support.

Likelihood to Recommend

I enjoy working with AEM, but requires lots of resources to maintain, and sometimes small updates turn into very large/expensive projects. Whether I recommend it would depend on the size of the organization, if they are global with multiple languages, and how necessary other Adobe integrations are.

Connecting tools across your organization

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Adobe Experience Manager primarily as a DAM and Sites for our CRM. By utilizing AEM Assets we can provide a centralized global DAM for our organization, decreasing 3rd party reliance for assets and eliminating duplication of asset creation. Our reuse has increased efficiency and decreased cost throughout the organization.

Pros

  • Experience fragments for quick site builds
  • Folder management for organization
  • Unlimited storage

Cons

  • custom workflows tend to break when upgrading
  • I want greater admin permissions without requiring dev assistance

Likelihood to Recommend

Adobe Experience Manager, when you work with the entire suite, links well with other Adobe applications. If your goal is to become an Adobe house, then you have a full world of options. However, if you strictly want a DAM as part of your mar-tech stack, flat systems operate more efficiently than Adobe's foldered system.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We've had Adobe Experience Manager for years now and it's always been a great experience. However when integrated with adobe commerce there's a lot of complexities that come into play. Overall a great tool that allows other Adobe tool to seamlessly live (target, CJA etc) Just put some thought into how you implement in commerce ahead of time.

Pros

  • Seamlessly integrate with other Adobe tools (target, CJA)
  • Ability to reuse components fragments and templates
  • Users roles and protection

Cons

  • Integration and guidance for eCommerce platform when it comes to integrating with commerce
  • Adobe Experience Manager + Live search is a bit clunky

Likelihood to Recommend

Overall great product
