I enjoy how user friendly the content editor is. It allows users with little knowledge of css and html to edit pages without any problems.

Although Sitecore is powerful, it's also clunky and way too much of a system for a smaller company to use. I have used several different CMS systems, and Sitecore is probably one of the most challenging. If you don't use a process with several steps for...

Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service is the best way to use, which makes AEM SaaS.Read more
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.
