[AEM Reviews/Ratings/Pricing/Features/Introduction] Pros and Cons of Adobe Experience manager

What is Adobe Experience Manager and why it is the best CMS tool for medium / large businesses?

Adobe Experience Manager is a cloud-based CMS that helps you engage website users, manage digital content and deliver personalized user experience across different channels.

Adobe Experience Manager offers a lot of content management services suchlike document management, social engagement, user-generated content organization, dynamic digital asset management, and community connection portal. Creative teams will find Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) useful as a central workstation where they can streamline media delivery and connect their work processes with those of other teams. Apart from providing a system that allows them to deliver a more attractive and enhanced media for different demands, it also allows separate teams to easily manage their digital assets.

In my opinion, Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is useful mainly to medium and large businesses. I wouldn't recommend it if you have a small site cause probably you don’t need so many features.

Introduction to Adobe Experience Manager

Customer reviews on Adobe Experience Manager

I have been using Adobe Experience Manager as a developer for almost 4 years now and every version outdoes itself. As a developer, I will be recommending AEM for everybody out there.
Pros
Adobe Experience Manager is one of the most sorts after CMS tools in the world currently. It's a modular design, and its ease of integration with both other Adobe products as well as other third-party products makes it unique. Its OOTB features are so easy and well developed that it decreases the effort required in overlaying them. Seamless integration with Java in the back-end and almost all the high rated front-end tools make it the best product to design a website on. And the customer or business support is the best in the market.
Cons
Nothing as of such. It's almost a near-perfect product.

I've used a few content managers, but this one has been the best for author customization and communication. I like that you can leave other authors' notes. I compare it to visual studios because authors have the ability to drag and drop to modify pages. Authors have a lot of freedom potential for settings, obviously depending on permissions. Their tag manager is also a great asset to our architects.
Pros
Tag manager, digital asset manager, and nontechnical admin abilities.
Cons
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.
