Adobe Experience Manager review

Deepest enterprise DXP, heaviest to stand up.

Verdict

Pick AEM when you need enterprise digital asset management plus personalization from Adobe Target in one stack, and can absorb a 6 to 12 month implementation.

What customers praise

AEM Assets manages millions of assets with Dynamic Media rendering, and native Adobe Target integration drives personalization without a third-party tool.

What customers criticise

Six-figure licensing plus a typical 6 to 12 month implementation puts it out of reach for teams under about 500 employees.

Best for

Large enterprises already running Adobe Analytics and Target that want authoring, assets, and personalization in one governed platform.
