We are the Adobe Experience Manager to Uniform migration experts

Challenges with Adobe Experience Manager

While highly capable, Adobe Experience Manager's complexity and cost can be significant barriers for smaller businesses. It can also be very, very slow if not set up correctly.

The platform requires substantial investment in both licensing and operational resources, making it more suited to large enterprises. Its comprehensive feature set can result in a steep learning curve and prolonged implementation periods.

Organizations may face challenges in navigating AEM’s extensive capabilities without specialised expertise, potentially increasing the dependency on Adobe-certified partners for successful deployment and ongoing management.

If you see the word specialised, you know you're going to recieve an invoice with an extra 0 on the end. If you're considering scrapping it and moving to something significantly faster, we've got you covered.

Benefits of Uniform

Uniform positions itself as a “composable DXP,” which is enterprise-speak for “it does a bit of everything on top of your actual CMS.” To be fair, the visual workspace is genuinely useful. Marketers get drag-and-drop control, personalization, and A/B testing without pinging developers every five minutes. And if you’re already juggling multiple systems (CMS, commerce, DAM), the orchestration layer can tidy up the chaos.

That said… we’ll be honest, we don’t really build with DXPs like this anymore. Whenever a headless tool starts shouting “DXP” from the homepage, it usually means heavyweight architecture, unnecessary complexity, and a bill only Fortune 500 companies would smile at. If you’re considering it anyway, feel free to get in touch. We’ll happily walk you through better, modern alternatives before you sink a quarter’s budget into something you probably don’t need.

Key advantages

Visual experience composition

Uniform’s visual builder lets marketers piece together pages without pinging developers every 5 minutes. It’s basically a drag-and-drop layer on top of your headless stack.

Multi-source content federation

Uniform pulls content from multiple CMSs, DAMs, and commerce tools into one interface, so you don’t need 10 tabs open to build a single page

Real-time collaboration tools

Teams can edit, plan, and experiment together without overwriting each other’s work. It’s built for big organisations where ten people touching the same page is a weekly occurrence.

Enterprise-grade scalability

Uniform is built to handle traffic spikes and heavy personalisation workloads. It’s overkill for small sites but a safe bet for enterprises terrified of a Black Friday outage.

Omnichannel content management

You can pipe the same content across web, apps, and any other channel marketing dreams up. Useful for brands juggling multiple experiences without wanting to rebuild the same page three times.
