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."
"It's a complete package. You don't need to look elsewhere for digital marketing."
"The integration of customer behavior and website setup is impressive."
"Adobe Experience Manager is quite a powerful product that you can use to design files and export them."
"It is easy to learn. You don't need to be an advanced Java developer."
"I like the native applications such as Adobe Target, Adobe Analytics, and Adobe Experience Platform. Because of these, it's very easy to connect and obtain reports on how my website is doing, how many have visited it, how frequently, etc. The multiple publisher concept is one of the best parts of this solution."
"The integration of customer behavior and website setup is impressive."
"I like the profiling and segmentation."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the communication events."
"It's really easy to use the solution."
"Its most valuable features are the storyline and communities."
"The solution was stable."
"The most valuable feature of Yammer is that it provides integration with Teams."
"The initial setup was simple and straightforward."
"Groups is the most valuable feature in Yammer."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
 

Cons

"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's technical support is so-so."
"The solution's pricing and stability could be improved."
"A little bit of background knowledge of coding and website structure is required."
"The licensing model is opaque, and technical support could be improved, especially for smaller companies."
"Programming model could be improved, it's a monolithic solution."
"The licenses are very expensive."
"I haven't seen any areas for improvement in Adobe Experience Manager as it's a full-fledged CMS tool, and Adobe is already working on enhancements for the solution. Adobe is working to make Adobe Experience Manager more valuable and easier to use for any user, even non-technical ones, through multiple components and templates. Day by day, Adobe provides the latest update to Adobe Experience Manager, and if my team needs any particular change, it just needs to be reported to the Adobe team. As Adobe Experience Manager has a broad scope and a lot of use cases and features, it's a solution that requires some time and effort from you in terms of learning, especially if you're implementing it for different clients, which could be an area for improvement."
"The interface is clunky and could be improved."
"I would rate the stability of Yammer as six out of ten."
"We tried to integrate into SharePoint, but it was not really efficient."
"Yammer should be able to integrate with Microsoft products, such as Outlook."
"If you are using other applications that are tough to integrate into the environment, that can cause limitations."
"Microsoft should work on templating and provide some built-in templates so that the changes can automatically roll out to all the configured communities."
"I would like to see a fancier user interface. That is one of the weak points of Yammer."
"The permissions are a little bit over-complicated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 really costly."
"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."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee to use the solution, which is highly-priced."
"Compared to other products like Amazon, Yammer's pricing is fine."
"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."
"The pricing is not bad."
"Yammer is a pretty cheap solution, and it's included in multiple subscriptions."
"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."
