What is Adobe Experience Manager?

Adobe Experience Manager, part of Adobe Experience Cloud, combines digital asset management with the power of a content management system.

Adobe Experience Manager Sites is an AI-powered content management system built on a scalable, agile, and secure cloud-native foundation for creating and managing digital experiences across web, mobile, and emerging channels. Users can create content and manage updates with re-usable Content and Experience Fragments and deliver content using template-driven page authoring or a headless approach with GraphQL. Interactive WYSIWYG authoring of React- and Angular-based single-page applications (SPAs) is available using the JavaScript SDK. Experience Manager as a Cloud Service eliminates the need for version upgrades and scales within seconds to handle high traffic with guaranteed uptime SLAs of up to 99.99%.

Adobe Experience Manager Assets is a cloud-native digital asset management (DAM) system that enables the management of thousands of assets to create, manage, deliver, and optimize personalized experiences at scale. Users can create and share asset collections and connect to the DAM from within Creative Cloud apps using Adobe Asset Link. Assets uses AI and machine learning to automatically tag, crop, and manipulate images and video. It also offers rich media delivery, technology that automates the creation of unlimited variations of rich media from a single piece of content for various devices and bandwidths.

Additional Adobe Experience Manager applications that integrate with Experience Manager Sites and Experience Manager include Experience Manager Forms for responsive forms creation and Experience Manager Screens for digital signage.

  • I think for me personally I'd like to be able to see what's going on in the system the best. To be able to go in and see what's happening with my system, I can go into the consoles and I can see at any given point where is my system, is it down, is it slow? Do I need to call somebody, is there an issue? And it's pretty much all there. I have pretty much instant feedback before I start calling and entering tickets. It allows me to dig in a little bit more. Adobe gives us tools to be able to look at some of the logging so we can start looking that way. They give you tools to be able to do what you need to do before it becomes too big of a problem.
  • It does come with core components and then they allow you the ability to customize from there.
  • Then you also have the basic authorship and the ability for them to drag and drop components onto the page. The authors love it. They love the ability that they can just take a page, drag and drop the components, move them around, and then they can make a page and go from there. And once we create the templates, they're great to go.

  • I like that you can see in a card view or you can see in the tree view. I prefer the tree view. The integration with the DAM works really well as far as searching for images. I'd like to see Photoshop applied in and have that functionality be available within the AEM tool. Right now we open up and Photoshop the saving of images for web versions and multiple sizes. If that was integrated more fully in AEM instead of having to go out to another Adobe product, I think that would be more useful.

  • Obviously the DAM, the digital asset management, is a big piece of it.
  • The CMS, the ability for us to create content fragments, is a huge win for us because we do have multiple channels and as we're working our way to creating a unified platform, I think that helps. I think the key pieces that we're stand at least that we use. We're not in a multi-site environment right now. We may be going towards that, so we haven't really explored that. But we have looked into it in a limited capacity. That's certainly a feature that interests us quite a bit and something that we'll be using in the future.

  • We are using all of them. We are using DAM for the image, like asset management which will help us generate these images for the whole form factors and sites. We are trying to bring other sub domains into other sites that we own which are still running on the other CMS platform. We would like to slowly migrate to AEM. And so far the experience was good.

  • Core components definitely made things much better when it comes to approaching our component development principles.
  • I like how well Adobe Experience Manager is integrated with the DAM. It definitely is a very powerful feature. All of the workflows that you can build around them on your content governance process, even when it comes to publishing the pages, that's definitely a big plus.
  • Multi-Site Management is a key thing. How easily you can roll out for different language sites, right? All that stuff is definitely great.
  • I like the architecture of AEM, mostly speaking the underneath architecture like Apache Sling and OJ and all that stuff that's been its strength all along. So I can say that if I had to integrate with any of our enterprise platforms it's definitely easily doable with AEM. We don't need to really struggle with integrating AEM with other platforms. So that's really been its strength.

  • I don't have a favorite. I think that they all have, I mean, you listed multi-site manager, asset manager, et cetera, like they all have their own use cases, right? So if I wouldn't recommend the multi-site manager for a com for a client that doesn't have multiple languages, for example, on their site. But if they do, I'll be thrilled to show them the capabilities and the the yeah, the, the abilities that it has. Right. And so then that would be my favorite feature in that case

  • The digital asset management in Adobe Experience Manager is fantastic. I do like that.
  • Multi-site management. We've got three different websites and basically two websites for each, those in English and French. So it would get nuts otherwise, but it's super easy to find what I'm looking for in AEM.

  • The Spark approach, the first of all Atlas, cms, which provides the data for, you are able to use kind of, or one way it's you are getting the data and getting implemented for all the devices, whatever they want, irrespective of that way the spa approach is much, much useful like and it's getting know, supported for all the new frameworks which are coming in like next JS or whatever, no server side. So that is a good side of spa and core components. few core components which are like, always if it is suitable, we'll go for it. Otherwise, obviously we'll customize it. I'm coming to the dam asset management system. It's really cool, especially today we came to know about the Firefly, so the way how the images we can get easily placed. That's really cool.

  • Definitely the the editor like the, the main UI for like configuring the pages and the sites in AEM sites I think is very powerful. I think the design of it is pretty smart. I think it's pretty user-friendly and has really has a, a lot of feature rich tools that are designed in a way that make a lot of sense once you kind of get the feel of it. so I really think that's definitely a strong core. one of the features. Could you list some of the other ones just cuz there were a few that I remember liking core components, SBA editor, multi-site management, digital asset management.

  • I think I'm going to learn about core components because in our next release, which we will be upgraded this summer, we will have to migrate from foundation components to core components. I'm looking forward to learning more about core components.
  • As far as what I like the most: Definitely the digital asset management tool inside AEM is the one that we are most familiar with, along with the ability to tag the assets and make it available. I also like the search function, so you can search dynamically using filter, different rules to search whatever assets you want to make available on our pages.

  • Personalization that enables me to deliver personalized experiences to users based on their behavior, preferences, etc.
  • multichannel publishing is a great benefit which allows a user to publish content across multiple channels including web, social, mobile, and emails.
  • the integration that is allowed with other Adobe products such as Campaign, Target, and adobe analytics, this helps my use case of tracking site visits, reducing bounce rate and tracking most popular sites.
