    Overall the experience with AEM Sites has been really positive. It offers strong content management capabilities for building complex sites. The initial setup was time consuming but maintenance has been reasonably efficient. We use it for our primary site and integrate it with a course information management system to list course offerings.

Adobe Experience Manager Likes & Dislikes

Like

The thing I really value about Adobe Experience Manager is how well it handles large and complex content needs. It allows me to manage multiple pages and assets from one place, keeps content consistent and works smoothly with other Adobe products to support personalized experiences.

Like

Components and templates for consistent design and faster development

Like

1. Excellent content management with flexible templates and components. 2. Scalability for multi-site and multi-lingual support. We don't heavily use it now but a major selling point. 3. Integration with the other experience cloud products/marketing tools and the Adobe creative suite applications.

Dislike

A major drawback is that the system can feel overwhelming, especially for beginners. It takes time to learn, often requires technical expertise to maintain and the overall cost can be high and sometimes performance issues also appear if the setup is not handled carefully.

Dislike

Cost

Dislike

1. Steep learning curve for new users who are not tech-savvy or not familiar with other Adobe products. And unless you put a lot of time into testing the user permission levels, because it is so feature-rich there are lots of opportunities for inadvertent access when not desired. 2. Cost of licensing is reasonable for us as a large organisation, but would be very expensive for a small company. However, we have needed constant development support which is expensive, and have been caught out being charged for 'content requests' as the metric. Adobe gives frustratingly little detail as to what the content requests are, so if you go over, it's very difficult to pin point why.
