As a stand-alone brand portal, AEM lacks the out-of-the-box features included in most DAM systems such as robust metadata management, duplicate recognition, advanced search functions.

Perhaps the cost is somewhat high for small businesses that are starting, a plan for small businesses, entrepreneurship or for individuals such as personal blogs and profile sites would be excellent, also a part of the community where access to the tools is provided with promotional coupons or plans donation this to encourage the use of this incredible platform more for new and small businesses that need projection.

To reduce the reindex time for a large index, consider the following strategies:
1. Increase the number of shards: Distribute the index across more shards to parallelize the reindexing process.
2. Use a faster storage: Ensure that the storage system used for the index is optimized for speed, such as using SSDs instead of HDDs.
3. Optimize the source index: Remove unnecessary fields and reduce the size of documents in the source index to speed up the reindexing process.
4. Use bulk requests: Reindex data in bulk to reduce the overhead of individual requests.
5. Adjust the refresh interval: Temporarily increase the refresh interval of the target index to reduce the overhead of frequent refreshes during reindexing.
6. Throttle the reindexing process: Use the `requests_per_second` parameter to control the rate of reindexing and prevent overwhelming the cluster.
7. Use parallel reindexing: If possible, run multiple reindexing tasks in parallel to speed up the process.
8. Monitor and optimize cluster performance: Ensure that the cluster is not overloaded and has sufficient resources to handle the reindexing task efficiently.
