Can you show examples of live communities using AEM Communities?

One example is Adobe’s own community site - this forum.

So there's no company using Adobe Communities?

There are companies using the latest version of the product but we cannot publicly advertise them as references at this point in a public forum, sorry about that. The "reference" process can be tedious at times - and with AEM Communities being a fairly recent product it takes some times to do so

Hi all,

It is exciting to see that this very forum was developed using AEM Communities.

I am very curious to know how much of it was out of box and how much customization involved.

When I talk about AEM Communities with my client, I would show this forum.

What else interests the client more than a live and operational public site and client's first question would be this only.

Kindly guide me.

Thanks,

Rama.
