Featured Reviews

Hilax Chamberlain - PeerSpot reviewer
Digital Marketing Manager at Ford Motor Company
Centralized content management has unified our digital channels and delivers consistent experiences
Adobe Experience Manager offers enterprise-level digital assets management and very robust customization, brand value consistency, and omnichannel delivery. It saves development and maintenance time. The digital asset management and omnichannel delivery features have benefited my team by managing our digital assets, ensuring brand consistency, and enabling us to deliver customized content easily to our clients. Organizing and obtaining information from results is beneficial. Strengthening our online experience as a brand is valuable. Easy integration with other Adobe services improves productivity and provides a smooth experience. Adobe Experience Manager has positively impacted my organization by enabling component and page reuse, which reduces application size. It saves manual effort for maintaining all applications, improves traffic, and ensures consistency across all our applications. It provides better security, scalability, and makes our applications more robust.

Digital Marketing Coordinator at a media company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Accurate branch data has driven more appointments and improved customer review management
The platform can be improved by optimizing the automated AI responses and providing different templates of responses available in the review and reputation management section. Additionally, allowing various integration types would be beneficial. Although Yext Digital Presence Platform has API integrations with 200 publishers, allowing other types of integrations such as those connected through a CDN would enhance functionality. Regarding the user interface, there are no concerns. However, with reporting, it would have been beneficial to have direct integration to Data Studio or other reporting systems where we could grab data and display it in a more friendly, visual way.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Ease of use for content authors and tight integration with Adobe Marketing Cloud Products like Target, Analytics, Campaign; a complete solution for organizational digital marketing needs."
"Brand management, Digital Transformation of organization and Most dynamic site."
"Adobe Experience Manager is one of the best enterprise-level content management and digital experience platforms available."
"I think DAM (Digital Asset Management) is most valuable to me; the data is increasing, and in order to manage millions of assets which a large enterprise has, it provides lots of capabilities (searching, reporting, managing, workflows for automation, etc.)."
"The cost can be high, but for large websites with a lot of dynamic data like e-commerce, or for clients looking for user-data based campaigning, the solution can be very efficient in the long-term."
"I believe that the primary feature of the product is the ability and extent to which it allows authors to modify, build and operate their website, page components, etc. that otherwise would require a lot more of developer work."
"Easy to work with the solution."
"Being able to connect everything to one universal system was a game changer for us, giving us an overall better digital experience."
"The main benefit of using Yext Digital Presence Platform is that we no longer have to update data manually across multiple entities or social media platforms, as the process is now automated."
"Yext Digital Presence Platform has positively impacted my organization by streamlining everything; because we have so many parks, it made the process a lot more streamlined and a lot easier to manage."
"I think the best features Yext Digital Presence Platform offers are the basic create, read, update, and delete ones, but they are implemented properly and they have an API for other companies to integrate with, which is more than I can say about other online platforms."
"The best features Yext Digital Presence Platform offers is that it is easy to navigate, it is simple to use, and I appreciate the user-friendly way that you are able to use it."
"Direct Listing Syncing, the Yext Knowledge Graph, and Yext Pages were the most impactful features because they improved our organic results and had a positive impact on our business."
"For example, there is a salon that I started working with, which was generating almost 20k a month, and after I used Yext Digital Presence Platform with them, within six months they increased profit to 60k."
 

Cons

"The solution's pricing and stability could be improved."
"The licensing plus implementation and maintenance cost is very expensive, making it not suitable for small organizations, and the setup is very complex."
"The UI for handling complex logic, especially in forms, could be more intuitive, and debugging issues is not always straightforward and could be simplified."
"The pricing and setup cost for Adobe Experience Manager is a bit higher compared to different content management tools."
"This review attempts to sum up the miserable experience of using Ektron from a developer's perspective, a server administrator's perspective, and the actual end content editor's perspective."
"Last but not least, Adobe AEM TCO (total cost of ownership) is very high with return on investment is slow (ROI is not necessarily low), which is why Adobe's focus is mostly large companies with deep pocket"
"In comparison to other CMS products, Adobe Experience Manager is missing some capabilities such as proper versioning or a better versioning system and backend connectivity. If something is deleted in AEM, the user cannot recover it. You have to call technical support, and they will need to recover the whole instance. So, it's really difficult. For example, if you delete a page, you cannot recover it. There should be an option to recover it. In AEM, you have to go to the previous state of the instance itself or the virtual machine, and you have to restore everything, which is not good."
"Adobe Experience Manager's pricing could be improved."
"I believe we could not delete hotels that we created in Yext Digital Presence Platform, so we ended up with a dashboard that had hundreds of hotels that we could not delete from Yext Digital Presence Platform, even though we deleted them from our side."
"I think Yext Digital Presence Platform's pricing, setup cost, and licensing could be refined better."
"One thing that could be improved is the real-time updates. Currently, when we send changes to Yext Knowledge Graph, the updates are reflected in the analytics tool with some delay, around thirty minutes to an hour."
"My experience with customer support was that it was a little bit challenging."
"The platform can be improved by optimizing the automated AI responses and providing different templates of responses available in the review and reputation management section."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There's a free trial for one month for Adobe Experience Manager, which you can use for learning purposes, then, after the trial period, you'll need to purchase the license. Adobe offers a few plans for Adobe Experience Manager, but I'm unaware of how much my company is paying."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee to use the solution, which is highly-priced."
"It's a costly solution. I would rate the price at two out of five on a scale from one to five, where one is the most expensive and five is the most competitive."
"It's really costly."
