FAVORABLE

“Great capabilities but needs a more intuitive interface to better support vastly differing role needs”

4.0

Dec 5, 2025

I have administered AEM Assets for 6 - 7 years since 2015. Broad capabilities but requires much dev work to accomplish many things that really should be OOTB UI based.

CRITICAL

“Product Changed Completely Over Contract Term With Poor Vendor Communication”

2.0

Aug 5, 2025

Product was not as promised in contract; product changed completely over the terms of our 3-year contract; vendor does not communicate new releases or updates to customers.

Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Assets Likes & Dislikes

Broad capabilities, it is secure and scales.

At this point there is nothing I like about it.

It keeps all of my digital files in one place which makes my thing look organized and very much easy to find and I can quickly find the file and image in no time because the search feature is strong.

User Interface - Lacks any OOTB options to simplify user interaction or create multiple Portal entry points that are specific to user roles. ie: Vendor (asset supplier) landing page for ingests, Video specific landing page, Author landing page, etc. The soon to be deprecated Brand Portal option took a stab at that, but only allows ONE portal/landing page. I was involved with a previous employer building an entire UI based on Asset Share Framework, worked beautiful but took development resources, a sizable budget, and was not supported by Adobe. Reporting options and tools are almost non-existent - Would love to be able to use OOTB industry BI tools to access asset data, use data, log data etc. Cost of non-author user licenses. - Someone who simply searches, views, downloads should not have a named user cost that is the same as someone who has full upload, edit capability. This used to be different, but was changed in recent years. Content Hub is slowly attempting to relieve some of that pressure, but lacks features to enable it to act as a primary ingest or delivery vehicle

Vendor support, even with a top-tier service contract, is sub-par, with service issues usually needing direct software engineer intervention. Delays waiting for engineers to address our issues resulted in some urgent issues--like sync issues that led to the inability to read what our total size usage was per week/month/to-date--taking months to resolve.

The username interface requires a lot of time to get used to it and whenever I need to adjust many files at once it feels like I am updating meta data repetitively.

Main Product Stays Reliable While Adobe Support And Integrations Disappoint

Nov 14, 2025

It has been a mixed experience unfortunately, there aren't any issues with the main product itself but there's a lot of development around this product that we're implementing (cloud native features) that have been causing issues because of bad development/management practices from Adobe

Lengthy File Uploads and Troubleshooting Complexity Affect Experience With Digital Assets

May 6, 2026

Adobe Experience Manager Assets works absolutely well for me as I can manage the digital assets easily and can store them in one tool. Also, I can search for any video, document or image swiftly.
