Using AEM from 2 years and its pretty good CMS tool.customer service is really great and they are pretty quick and knowledgeable. I have also attended the adobe training which is also good to have.
The company I am with now uses AEM, and anytime I get frustrated with not understanding how to do something, I remind myself of the alternative.
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.
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.
Overall, AEM is a very powerful platform and probably the best one out there for building enterprise level responsive sites.
I dislike the complexity of workflows for doing so many things, from setting up locals and translations, to editing headless components.
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 program has a habit of producing errors when utilizing Windows 10 OS, which can be a nuisance when in the midst of work.
Users are able to simultaneously edit a document at the same time and also it's accessible from any location. Customer support has been amazing and their pricing is very fair.
The Search functionality is so bad (doesn't work the way you think it should and rarely generates the results you're after) as to be almost useless.
I love that you can basically store an unlimited amount of data and share it with anyone who has the link. It makes sharing documents very easy and accessible from any internet accessible device.
At the current price point (charged per user), it's a bit on the more expensive side. The functionalities on the admin console is a bit hard to navigate.
But what makes Box the best, are all the features that they layer on top of that. Collaboration, sync, edit, Office integration, great mobile apps, policies, preview, workflows, automations, and more.
The worst thing about the Box that I have found is that when you first open it, all the files that are on it takes a little bit of time to load.
As positive points I can say that Box is a complete cloud backup software with high reliability and security. It has an excellent friendly graphical interface for organizing files in the cloud.
If you don't know what "folder" a document is in - or even its exact document name, the search tool can be very difficult, and almost useless.
Andrew: Hi, my name is Andrew. I'm an SEO Manager. I would give Adobe Experience Manager a four out of five. For more reviews like this, see below. After using other content management systems at previous organizations, I gained a new appreciation for how many features and how many ways of working with Adobe Experience Manager there are. And it gave me a real appreciation for the platform. My organization chose to use Adobe Experience Manager because it is considered a leader in the industry. And because it has many features and its ability to be customized for the organization. The one downside of Adobe Experience Manager is that it does take a while to ramp up. Implementation is on the more difficult side, so a more senior development team is needed to really expedite the process of onboarding it. For an organization looking at content management systems and considering Adobe Experience Manager, I would encourage them to look at what features are important to their organization. Adobe Experience Manager's an excellent platform, but it's not for every organization. So a real thorough examination of the features needs to be looked at.
Svetlana: Hi, my name is Svetlana. I'm the executive director at the Children's Guardian Fund, and I gave Box 5-star rating. I used Dropbox but it wasn't working out because we needed something a little more robust for our organization as we were growing. I ended up using/choosing Box because they were very cost-effective for a not-for-profit organization our size, and they offered a lot of the features that we were looking for. It only took a couple of hours to learn the system and onboard with Box. We were able to get all of our users login information very quickly. And once we got all the plugins on everybody's laptops, it's been very easy and streamlined ever since. If you're looking for something to streamline your data and have it accessible on different devices, I would highly recommend Box because they check all the boxes.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
