Customer journey insights have guided UX changes and now streamline our digital decisions
The best features ContentSquare offers include heatmaps, PII masking, GDPR compliance, good performance, and customer journey analytics. The feature that has made the biggest difference for my team is that ContentSquare is now a step ahead of the competition since it delivers insights based on predefined business KPIs and customer journeys that we have set up. We can also segment our traffic and easily shift through the many recordings, finding the ones that match our lookup criteria. The new non-flash interface is clean and simple to use and has all the functionality centralized. ContentSquare has positively impacted my organization, and it has helped us to integrate with analytic and optimization solutions and also helped us in identifying barriers in the customer journey.

Optimizing digital presence with customizable design and seamless integration
The main benefits that Liferay Digital Experience Platform brings to the table are numerous. First is rapid application development and many features. Features such as content management and document management make your life easy; workflow management is also present. Workflow can be designed and derived. Form development and everything is very smooth and easy to deliver to the end customer, and you can find many features in one box. You have blogs, wikis, and everything with out-of-box functionality. My experience with actionable insights is positive; they help in refining content strategies. The content creation is helpful. For external content creation, I use headless CMS APIs for Liferay Digital Experience Platform, and headless APIs for content creation are also available. My thoughts on the integration capabilities are that integration is seamless. You have headless APIs where you can integrate seamlessly with any other application such as LDAP or SSO, or you can also integrate with different external systems. You have an SAP connector; everything is available. Liferay Digital Experience Platform's open source flexibility has helped in customizing functionalities for the specific needs of my customers as it is a highly flexible application that can be optimized. My advice for other organizations considering Liferay Digital Experience Platform is that if it's available, we need to improve on the performance, which is currently what we are seeing. Otherwise, earlier Service Builder was acceptable. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Liferay Digital Experience Platform a 9.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"ContentSquare has positively impacted my organization by increasing sales, reducing traffic on pages that were obsolete or we needed to revise, and it has increased our customer base."
"ContentSquare heat maps stand out because they provide much more data compared to all other tools that include heat maps."
"When we understand which step of the user journey users experience the most struggles and fix it by running A/B tests, we see better results and positive impacts on the business side."
"The feature that I loved most was Session Replay, which made it super useful because it allowed us to filter to the specific issue that we were investigating at the time."
"ContentSquare is a great tool to analyze and get insights from customer journeys and customer behaviors within those journeys."
"ContentSquare has positively impacted my organization, as I honestly believe it is a good thing."
"The best features ContentSquare offers are the visual analytics, which I use and appreciate the most because they help me decide what to keep and what to remove from my website, leading to improved engagement, higher conversions, and time saved for my team."
"ContentSquare has been instrumental in helping us move from descriptive analytics to behavioral-driven decision-making."
"Liferay has a CMS, role-based permissions, and hierarchy-of-organization community management which provides lots of features for intranet and enterprise applications."
"We like Likeray because it's a secure platform."
"Flexibility to fit our business requirements under many different scenarios, from simple public web sites to customer or distributor portal solutions and intranets."
"I usually see this platform as a Swiss Army Knife for building new features."
"It has helped our client to quickly set up websites for their external clients."
"Liferay enables you to stay with latest technologies with each version release."
"Manageability is very good and probably the most valuable part of a tool of this type. There is a little more of a learning curve than you have with a simple tool, but a business user can learn to manage the system as an administrator very easily."
"If your company has an overall future for growth, then Liferay is a good choice as it is an enterprise solution."
 

Cons

"ContentSquare could be improved because sometimes the numbers do not stay the same when I check them at different times."
"Analyzing recordings leads to answers that can be overly generic and repetitive, making them less useful after some time."
"ContentSquare is sometimes very slow, so I have noticed some performance issues."
"ContentSquare's scalability is poor. As I was saying, every property is individual, separate from the others."
"ContentSquare could be improved in my experience, particularly regarding the integration with the sites because many of the parts that are not qualitative but quantitative do not match very well with the numbers I see on other dashboards, maybe on Adobe Analytics."
"I choose that number because it is still manual, and I struggle with Journey Analysis due to the complicated mapping structure."
"ContentSquare could be improved by making it easier to do the mappings, as there is still a lot of room for improvement in my opinion, especially on the validation stage that must be improved and made easier."
"ContentSquare's interface could be improved."
"We tried the 'eat your own dog food' approach and used Liferay for our company's website, but Liferay just isn't meant to build websites."
"The integration and configuration need to be simplified."
"There are still some parts where Liferay can improve: Document library: Allow you to view and preview all popular types of files Auditing capability"
"It could have better built-in integration with a wider variety of extensions out-of-the-box."
"It lacks true multi-tenant support."
"Setup was not straightforward. The Community Edition was a bit complicated and they should fix the code."
"Social areas and capabilities need improvement."
"Licensing costs can be very expensive."
