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'm the product owner for Adobe Experience Manager Sites for our organization. I work with a team of developers to implement new features, custom implementations for our needs, bug fixes, etc. - to make the product more aligned with the needs of the business, stakeholders, and users. We use Adobe Experience Manager sites to power all of our websites with both out of the box and custom code/uses. Our use case includes some content that is mostly static and many more dynamic uses for areas of the business that are constantly changing and updating (IE, hospitality products like shows and restaurants).

Currently, use AEM to manage all our corporate web pages and as a central content management system. It enables us to quickly build and maintain our websites, share content with customers and partners, and enable our entire digital customer journey. We also integrate other Adobe products, such as Adobe Analytics, for an easy-to-use ecosystem.

Used AEM to build client websites, and it is super convenient and interesting working on AEM to build user imaginations into reality; the user interface and user experience with AEM are on another level. AEM increased engagement on one of our community websites which played a vital role while increasing the page visits; as it's cloud-based, we never have a think about working on different locations, and it's super easy to deal with multiple instances.

Typically we use Adobe Experience Manager Sites for building full websites that are modular (i.e. use components) and also integrated with other Adobe Experience Cloud tools such as Adobe Analytics and Adobe Target. Additionally, we use Adobe Experience Manager Assets for storing documents and images that are then used across multiple channels (email, website, app, etc.). Lastly, we use Adobe Experience Manager Forms for building individual landing pages, for example a marketing opt-out page connected to Adobe Campaign.

Adobe Experience Manager module approach essentially allows us to pick a tailored solution to displaying our content online, with native integrations with both Adobe Analytics and Adobe Target, which are key products to our digital strategy. Setup is slightly more complicated and involved when compared to other more open platforms but it certainly delivers to expectation set by an enterprise level solution.

I use Adobe Experience Manager from the analytics perspective by updating asset names and ensuring accuracy to flow into Adobe Analytics. My org uses it to create and update our website and maintain quality user experience across the board. Multiple users are able to edit and make updates which makes working together effective, and the structure of the folders keeps everything organized in the back end.

We use Adobe Experience Manager to develop multilingual, modular, secure, and SEO-friendly websites and also manage the content that we deliver to other applications and tools. We also used Adobe Experience Manager to host the different creative files and data files. Adobe Experience Manager is very user-friendly and the content can be managed by the author or content creator without any involvement of a programmer or developer.

With the help of this, we are able to not only build but also easily update websites for various clients. The assets are by far the best way to keep the mess away from the beauty. Loved the way we can easily integrate most of the plugins going around in the market.

Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is what we use to control many of our marketing campaigns org-wide, and is crucial to our overall corporate marketing strategy and initiatives. It is largely where we house a lot of the content used in these campaigns and target activities and allows us to stay extremely well organized, as well as enabling us to creating a lot of our pages for our users which holds this content.

[Adobe Experience Manager] is the new website CMS at our organization. It is mostly being used by the development teams at the moment as we roll out the new platform. Eventually, end-users will be able to author content and publish pages directly.

Currently our company has branches worldwide, in over 100 countries. The purpose for our use of Adobe Experience Manager is connecting employees from different countries, no matter the language barrier. Each country has their own set up where the language can be chosen accordingly. All employee information can be input, stored and updated when required. Although it is not widely used for the purpose which my company uses it for, it is very beneficial for us. I assist the main administrator with the responsibility of updating content for our employees, and where necessary, potential clients.

The Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is used in most of our organization's departments and by our external agencies to create content for our marketing campaigns. By using it, we can create the required pages (Single Page applications - SPA), landing pages, and email design, which can be integrated with our campaign tools (ACS) in the future. At present, while everyone is moving more towards digital marketing, this is a good tool to help you effectively

Adobe Experience Manager is used by several departments across the organization to manage and publish websites. These are generally marketing websites containing product marketing content, thought leadership articles, product support content, news stories, and other related or supporting pages. However, it does not serve all the needs of certain websites as some sites also need WordPress.

We use this program to have an overview of a website. This tool really helps the team take control of all the contents of a website such as marketing, promotion, etc. It gives us an opportunity to check these conditions as if we were the users before publishing. As a UX designer, this tool is very useful because of the amount of control we have over the documents and the visibility.

It solves our marketing team's development process of our brand site. It cuts down development time by utilizing reusable components, which are developed once by Adobe Experience Manager developers, and then rapid development is possible to create new pages with the same components with people who might not have the technical know-how of how it is implemented under the hood.

Adobe Experience Manager is currently being used solely within my office, which consists of four individuals. It aids in allowing my team to sort through files and find things that may have been misplaced. This is especially effective because, in real estate, compiling documents is half of the battle and must be done efficiently.

Adobe Experience Manager is used by my entire Business Development department and several other pockets of my company. Specifically, my use case is with my customers. This tool allows me to put out custom content for each of my clients. I get feedback all the time about how clean and easy it is to use.
