Adobe Experience Manager's initial setup is easy.

For AEM as a Cloud Service, Adobe sets everything up, so it's not time-consuming. You just raise a request with Adobe, and they'll create a program for you. If you have three projects, you'll have three programs. 

Under each program, they'll create multiple environments – dev, stage, production. In Adobe Experience Cloud, everything's connected. They have pipelines, a repository, and the admin console where you manage users. It's very easy. You set up a repository, commit your code, and run the pipeline.

For the last three years, it's been on the cloud. Some clients want to work on-premises, and others work on cloud, but I've been working on cloud for the past three years.

The initial setup for Adobe Experience Manager was straightforward. Not more than four to five people were involved in the deployment of the solution.

How long it takes to deploy Adobe Experience Manager depends on the requirements, but it didn't take much time for my company. You also have the option to schedule the deployment.

The initial setup is easy, and I would give it a five out of five rating. It's not very difficult because it's just one system.

Initially, you have to have some knowledge of a few technologies, but it's not very challenging. There are lots of open-source materials available, and there are forums as well. So, it's easy to learn. 

The initial setup is very straightforward and user-friendly. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes.

The setup was complex due to the learning curve. Integration requires some planning ahead and communication between various IT factions. Often, the digital marketing departments may feel isolated.

As simple as double clicking a .jar file.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward, as it requires running a single .jar and deploying code and content into it. For production, the combination of author and few publisher AEM .jars, the dispatcher, and few AEM configurations needs to be fulfilled.

Setup of localhost dev. environment. Very complex. Actually you cannot start development alone. Somebody must introduce to the concept of Sling and JCR etc. Very, very hard intro.

The initial setup usually takes somewhere between five and nine months. Typically these portals require a lot of time and in my opinion, implementation depends more on the type of projects, rather than the type of web content management system. We prefer to manage directly on the AWS environment, which our clients typically already have. 

Initial setup is very easy and straightforward.

The application comes in the form of a JAR or WAR file for easy deployment with various tools and systems.

Using the JAR, you can have the application up and running in five minutes, just by double-clicking/executing the file (it requires users to have Java installed, but that is a pretty common requirement these days).

Setup is pretty straightforward and well-documented by Adobe.

It is straightforward.

Installation is straightforward, even if somebody is new and he has to create a website -- he is provided with tutorials/sample site, which are great references.
