Cons

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.

Portal Security: It has good security model but in few areas it requires improvement.
Encrypt LDAP passwords on import
Log in should be via SSL by default
Upgrade/patch process should include an alert in the control panel
Add virus scan for uploaded files
Server Administration
Garbage Collector should be able to be scheduled to run from the control panel
Reindexing should be able to be scheduled from the control panel
Provide GUI to change the default Liferay favorite icon to any desired logo
LDAP mapping GUI to custom Liferay attributes
Configurations: Less configurations from properties files and provide more GUI to update from control panel.

We had and still have a fantastic experience using Adobe CQ. Lots of flexibility, great integration with other Adobe products we already use and a powerful technology make it a great fit for our corporate environment. Also as the community grows, it makes it easier to network with other developers and users to get new ideas on how to continue to get the best out of the software.

Usability

Adobe Experience Manager 10.0

Based on 2 answers

I personally feel that AEM is very intuitive to use from an authoring standpoint. The entire CMS was engineered around the author. Everything about AEM is geared to helping authors generate and maintain content. There are ways that tool tips can be customized so that any individual could simply hover over and be guided step by step on how to author web content

Implementation Rating

Adobe Experience Manager 8.7

Based on 2 answers

Depending on your individual needs, It is really quite simple to create an authoring experience for a website that looks really good. I have been part of many implementations and many teams and have seen many projects that were super successful and others that were not implemented well. AEM has room for a lot of flexibility in the implementation process compared to other CMS like SharePoint

Alternatives Considered

I think AEM is specific to the client's needs and is not necessarily comparable to all other platforms. However, when compared feature to feature I think AEM many times is a leader in the industry. While WordPress has progressed in the WYSIWYG interface it is not there still today and this is truly where AEM shines against all of the other CMS platforms.

Great choice for Java based enterprise organizations. Liferay is on the heavier side of CMS systems, and it excels in larger projects but is a waste of time for smaller projects.

Can reduce IT costs eventually.
Increases upfront costs due to technical knowledge needed for initial setup and maintenance.
Hard to analyze ROI until after it's totally implemented.
