What is Adobe Experience Manager?
Adobe Experience Manager is Adobe's enterprise content management and digital asset management system, used by large organizations to build, personalize, and govern websites, mobile experiences, and forms at scale. Originally built on Day Software's CQ5 platform before Adobe's acquisition, AEM now supports headless, hybrid, and traditional page-based delivery through Content Fragments, a GraphQL API, and a drag-and-drop Universal Editor that works with any frontend framework.
AEM can be deployed on-premises, through Adobe Managed Services, or as AEM as a Cloud Service, Adobe's SaaS offering with automatic scaling. It integrates closely with Adobe Analytics, Adobe Target, and Adobe Commerce. Adobe does not publish list pricing; cost is quoted individually and typically runs into the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars annually for enterprise deployments.
