Features like msm, tagging, workflows makes this best content management system.
The ui of AEM is so much user friendly and touch optimized. It makes website development easy and quick.
Some of the feature screen are still in classic ui which must be changed as per touch ui in order to support mobile.

In my previous company, I developed two big projects. Both of them was done for the big companies of Belgium. For one of them, we developed 17 websites with different language options.
Backend is full Java and for the frontend, you use any modern frontend frameworks. By dragging and dropping, an editor without any development knowledge, can easily the content. Its asset management is strong.
Development is a little bit difficult and there are a lot of unknown limitations and bugs. If your target is just content management, this solution is so heavy and expensive.

Cool all in one resource to find software. I would use it.
Buggy. Sometimes too many options without descriptions.

It's been ok. I believe your overall experience woudl depend on the team's willingness to keep up to date with all feature releases and understand it's capabilities, vs it's limitations.
I think if it were as polished and built to represent the business' needs, then it could be an incredibly efficient platform for your web experience. The ability to rapidly create and maintain pages and the integration with Target makes for a great testing platform.
Again with developer limitations.. there are a lot of vanilla features that work great and is a benefit to the business. But when it comes to building out your website experience.. unless your UX designer and developer express creativity and can work around challenges and limitations, you may find yourself being only able to build pretty cookie cutter type web sites.

Overall good, I'm just a stickler for a good looking product. Webdam UI is better
I like that its very easy top understand how to use. Very user friendly and easy to catch on to. AND you can more easily use with other Adobe products
My god is it ugly. The interface is easy to use but not pleasant to look at at all. If i didn't have to use the website I wouldn't ever want to look at it again.

Overall, AEM is a very powerful platform and probably the best one out there for building enterprise level responsive sites.
For web content authors, this is the best tool out there for creating a responsive website. AEM comes with OOTB components that make it easy to build pages with various layouts
Basic authoring is simple but anything more requires a steep learning curve and the documentation and tutorials available are lacking

My overall experience h as been good with this. I use it on day to day basis. I found nd it difficult to work on system where it is not installed.
I like the simple GUI of this products it's easy to use and available on trial period. You can use it free of cost with limited function also.
It should allow to convert from one format to another format. Apart from this, it should also give the option to insert image.

The level of customization and development capabilities are best in the business. We run everything on through AEM. My primary function is around the DAM, but from web authoring, workflows, you name it, we're able to customize AEM to meet our exact needs
While customization is king, it does take development time, hours and personnel. That said, the pros FAR outweigh the cons in that regard.

Was great, but pricing forced us away from the product.
It was the best tool I've ever found to make dynamic forms
It used to be included in acrobat but was transformed in to a 5-figure product, way too expensive for a small business.

Fantastic CMS solution, which is the best I have seen for content authoring/management. Fantastic array of features and functionality.
Difficult to integrate with other platforms. Expensive solution, as best of breed - but clear leader in the market

This is a robust program for operations that need to manage a large number of digital assets and pages, or with complex site maps. Edits to existing content are relatively intuitive and new page setup is straightforward.
I had to make updates to existing pages that others had set up. AEM was fairly intuitive and easy to work with. It's not always easy to walk in to someone else's setup, and we have a large number of pages and different departments with their hands in the program. My experience with that kind of situation in the past would be that it was an act of futility, but it's been super easy to jump into.
The help and training is not always that easy to navigate. When I run across an issue I can't resolve, I usually have to ask someone with more experience. If he wasn't around, I am not sure how I would find the answers I need.

A Sophisticated tool that is easy and quick to develop and addresses digital marketing needs, super easy to use for a marketer.
Adobe docs do not provide comprehensive development help. Learning is more community driven than authenticated by Adobe

The flexibility that we get with AEM is great. The types of template and pages options that we get provide us with great features to be able to build custom content and pages well.
The learning curve of AEM can be a little overwhelming due to the myriad of options that it provides.

AEM is the most effective platform for our team to deliver authorable options for content creation and deploy content through a publishing workflow.
Fully customizable templates and out of the box workflow. Easily supported and staffed for as it is one of the industry leading CMSes.
Cost of the tool is not insignificant. Does require full developer support to implement.

The application allows for easily attaching bindings to have information pre-populate, which allows for a huge reduction of time for end-users.
The program has a habit of producing errors when utilizing Windows 10 OS, which can be a nuisance when in the midst of work.

We use Adobe Experience Manager Mobile for sales enablement and to publish marketing materials. It’s a very dynamic product that allows us to reach our customers in all major platforms and gather data on usage. Because we also use it for sales enablement, we can also get insight into what marketing materials our sales force finds useful.
It takes quite a bit of maintenance if you don’t have the IT department to back you up. I’m also sure that many of the features are underutilized from a lack of technical knowledge.

Adobe Experience Manager let us put some of our past concerns past us. We no longer have security issues like we had experienced in the past.
The features of the Adobe Experience Manager is what sets them apart from the competition! Although fit more for the enterprise level, it offers much more than competitors can.
Price point is high, however extremely worth the price if it fits in the budget.

We wanted to personalize landing pages, nice and simple. As we continued to optimize, we determined that we we're better off building our own react.js library and leveraging Adobe Target for an even better experience at a fraction of the cost.
It is so incredibly easy to use and really is a wonderful compliment to the Adobe suite of products.
It was like a gold and diamond encrusted shoehorn and we felt like we were paying it in spades. The cost of this product was astronomical and the utility of these services is progressively outweighed by the continued imposition of data privacy and protection standards. While the price is a very distracting drawback, there are other issues which make this service somewhat overrated and otherwise biased by it's ease of use

What we primarily use this for is to create forms. This is great and offers a lot of flexibility in creating exactly what we what. There are a lot of validating and math functions that makes this a useful tool.
Granting rights to write onto the form you output is difficult. It does not work with some iOS platforms. Learning how to use the software can be incredibly frustrating.

As an end-user (a business user) I had a positive experience as it was very straightforward to design rich forms. However, as an engineer I struggled to find trustworthy technical documents.
It has many controls to be added to the form. It is very easy to use by business persons. It also has good integration with other Adobe products.
It does not seem it support containerization. I could not find good documents on how to create containers from AEM.

Adobe Experience Manager is a great platform for creating engaging websites and applications. It provides an intuitive interface and powerful development tools and allows us to quickly customize and expand the platform. The cost of the platform may be high, but the end result is worth it.
Adobe Experience Manager provides an intuitive interface and powerful development tools to create engaging websites and applications. It is easy to customize and expand the platform, allowing us to quickly create great user experiences.
Adobe Experience Manager can be difficult to learn and use, requiring an experienced development team to get the most out of it. The cost of the platform can also be prohibitive for some organizations.
