Contentstack vs. Adobe Experience Manager

Contentstack’s headless and cloud-native roots outperform AEM in application architecture with a strong vision of what “the new spine” of a composed digital experience platform needs to contain and what it should not contain.

With API-first technology like Contentstack, specialized developer expertise or custom coding is not required for interoperability between our products. Contentstack's intuitive user interface empowers teams to build, personalize, and optimize digital experiences at scale.

A composable approach puts an end to vendor lock-in, making expensive and time-intensive upgrades a thing of the past. Contentstack empowers customers with maximum choice and control over their technology stack, allowing you to pick and choose best-of-breed MACH tools tailored to your specific use cases.

Contentstack provides unmatched technical expertise and customer care through our Technical Solutions Organization and the industry’s only cross-vendor support program. With our team of proven migration experts, we are here every step of the way to help you successfully make the switch over from AEM.

Adobe’s licensing and required services result in a high TCO. Multiple modules (AEM Sites, Target, Analytics, etc.) each add cost and often require significant partner spend for implementation. Contentstack's lower TCO comes with enterprise-grade features built in, and customers avoid expensive infrastructure/upgrade costs thanks to our SaaS model.

Contentstack's DXP is easier to set up and implement than the AEM suite. With dedicated white-glove customer service from implementation throughout the entire customer lifecycle, new business users can be onboarded in less than 30 minutes to ensure you achieve ROI as quickly as possible.

Our fully extensible platform allows for seamless customization and flexibility, ensuring your DXP grows with your evolving business needs. Tap into our Marketplace and partner ecosystem to quickly deploy new omnichannel experiences to adapt to your changing business needs.
