Adobe Experience Manager vs DNN Platform

• Adobe Experience Manager is great for maintaining large websites with lots of content. It has a comprehensive repository and folder structure which makes it easy to organize and break down your website into sections.
• Although we have not personally used it much yet, Adobe Experience Manager has integrations with the other Adobe Experience Cloud products such as Campaign, Target, and Analytics. The newest version(s) also have integrations with Creative Cloud products like Photoshop, which allows creatives to upload assets directly into the DAM.
• Adobe Experience Manager has powerful live copy/translation tools that allow you to clone and translate webpages into other languages for alternate language versions of your site.

• Very easy to use CMS - Ease of use is paramount with CMS products to minimise on support calls. Also the template structure of pages ensures that content editors cannot inadvertently corrupt the layout of the page.
• Powerful application framework - The existence of APIs for all functionality within the CMS provides limitless scope in terms of developing bespoke applications which sit within the CMS.
• Commercially supported option available - For larger clients, the comfort factor of having a direct line to the developers of the application is a big selling point.

• Upgrading and applying patches can be hit or miss - I recommend backups because of the potential to damage the existing infrastructure
• Space management is an issue - every change or request takes up space that can be reclaimed, but only through a complicated procedure done through command prompts. There was no documentation for this on their site and we had to use a third party to create the procedure. It has to be run manually.
• There isn't a good backup system, particularly one that can be scheduled to run reliably.

• The support is a bit slow.
• The menuing can be confusing and terms used a bit strange. which makes training difficult.

• We can have multiple teams globally and connect anytime we want.
• Finding target audiences for advertisement campaigns became [so] much easier than before.
• One drawback is that the users have to be well trained and [preferably have] more IT knowledge among them to interact with the AEM.
