Content Hub vs Adobe Experience Manager Comparison

For those who have large or complex websites, Sitecore has a lot of features that will cover your needs. I haven't run into something that isn't possible with Sitecore because of it's customization and adaptability.

You WILL need a developer or a team of them to get the most out of this product. Sitecore has teams that can help set up your software the way you need it, but it's at a cost, and you probably know your own systems better than them. But they're a great resource when you need to make sure something goes right that's tricky.

For experienced .NET teams familiar with the Sitecore platform we can customize and extend virtually every feature of the CMS. Newer marketing automation features really enable us to take our marketing and retail based sites to a much higher level of sophistication with modern features like content personalization and real-time A/B testing etc.

Once our team got familiar with the Sitecore way of configuring sites they felt effective, however that ramp up time a longer than some other systems. That has made it difficult to find experienced talent. It has also made outsourcing more experience than some other more common CMS systems like Wordpress or Drupal.

I like a lot about Sitecore. I like that you can edit just one content piece on your page and publish it without publishing the whole page. I like the variety of responsive layouts that that may be created and the control you have over each of your page's element. I like how content blocks may be reused across pages and sites. It definitely takes time to understand how to build pages and make edits, but it totally worth it!

I wish building forms could be a more intuitive process and that it would be easier to rearrange items in the content tree to place them in the precise position.

The only real thing we liked about using Sitecore's CMS was the stability. It didn't crash more than a few times a year, and it never got hacked (that we know about ).

Where do I start ? This product is just awful. It's hard to use. It's not friendly to marketers, only developers. It requires extensive customization and coding just to produce a simple site. There is no upside to the expense and effort if you're a marketer or content producer wanting to publish good content quickly.

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.

We use this as a single source of truth for all our content. It houses a lot of content that can be pushed to different sources.

I don't like the functionality we have set up. There are constraints on what we're able to do with certain pages. That can lead to a lot of busy work and cleanup for users.

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.

There are many things to like about AEM: product integration with adobe products and asset management, modular page building, ease of use for teams to take over in house authoring.

Tagging, content fragments, and experience fragments process can take a little to get use to. However, nothing a little training cannot overcome.

AEM is relatively intuitive. We are able to edit and publish content quickly and without many issues.

Sometimes formatting doesn’t work well or the program operates slowly. It can be frustrating to waste time when these things happen.

Since my team is in different countries, this system allows multiple contributors to access and manage the content simultaneously.

Difficult at the beginning if you have no knowledge, you'll often have to figure out on your own and spend hours learning something. And also it can be a bit pricey for some small companies.

Thanks to easy content authoring you can cut your need for developers and time to market but keep quality.

To keep it running thre is a need for constant administrators support.

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

Ease of use is one of the best features. Very easy process of connecting with customers. Extremely powerful content management system

I just started using the software and have yet to find something that I do not like

Very user friendly with the WYSIWYG interface and easy to learn components and templates. Regular workers can author their own content.

With most content management systems they each have their own nuances. Things can arise depending on what browser youre using, how your components were made, what kind of network restrictions your company has. All things to consider when setting up this application.

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.

Well...it just about covers all the bases as far as a CMS solution goes. It is the FULL package for content management

It's a bit intimidating at first. There are a LOT of features and it can be hard to know where to start. It takes time, but well worth the investment.

I used this tool on a daily basis at my last job for 2 and a half years. The templating options allowed our company to work within a standard set of page layouts that helped streamline the page builds and keep the site w/in brand standards.

From time to time some of the page templates seemed to be a bit buggy and not perform normal functionalities.

I love how easily it is to directly deploy content from this tool to any other Adobe tool, especially for the purposes of customer personalization or A/B testing

There isn't much I dislike about this software - it's fairly expensive, but I think it's entirely worth it if it's within your budget

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

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.

We enjoy a very good web content management for digital experiences of combined channels, providing an environment with technical assistance for editing, composition of pages from a library of web components and search engine optimization controls

A basic AEM package license must be purchased separately for each functionality and does not include licenses for users, who must have a separate license for each product

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.

There is virtually nothing Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) can't do, if you're willing to put a little time into development.

The learning curve is steep and it's not always easy to find comprehensive self-help resources for the platform online.

Adobe Experience Manager is one of the best content management system for building enterprise level websites. Though it is a bit expensive to low level businesses, it makes it the best web content management tool for big businesses. AEM makes it easy if you want to migrate from other platforms. Its cross channel content customization options are awesome and takes care the digital experience for all...

It is a bit expensive for low level businesses.

It's almost too easy - what if people forget how to design?

It's almost too easy - what if people forget how to design?

Whatever you want to do, AEM will let you do it. Customization is key, and the ability to create multiple sites with one product is a bonus. There are tools to help you get started, and the ability to create a template where our authors can just enter content without worrying about format is a blessing.

AEM is not an easy program to install or to administer, not if you are going to go beyond an all-in-one server. The configurations are headache inducing, and the documentation isn't always current. Sometimes it behaves in inexplicable ways until you get your hands into its guts to look at the underlying configuration - then it becomes fairly simple to diagnose. But finding experts who are doing what you are with the software (my favorite way to solve an issue) can be difficult.

The websites of our clients could be easily customized using Adobe Experience Manager. All the website updates could be easily done for our clients using Adobe Experience Manager. Also the images for our clients websites could be easily customized using this software. The analytics tagging on this software enables us to easily integrate this software with Adobe Analytics so that all our Analytics data can be easily extracted for our day to day use.

Sometimes to make some website tweaks using this software will require the assistance of an AEM developer.

Tag manager, digital asset manager, and nontechnical admin abilities.

Permissions take a lot of effort to lock down and authors could potentially do prod damage. A lot of I's to dot and t's to cross to make sure they don't have damaging access.
