Adtech and SEO Manager

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.
