Provides effective workflow management and catalog management
Around three to four engineers are needed for the solution's deployment and maintenance. The solution's e-commerce integration feature has impacted our marketing efforts and catalog management. CoreMedia is stable and strong in terms of editorial things. The solution has helped our organization manage translations for different languages. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

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

"CoreMedia is good for workflow management and user reviews."
"Liferay has a CMS, role-based permissions, and hierarchy-of-organization community management which provides lots of features for intranet and enterprise applications."
"Compared to other platforms the initial setup is not very complex."
"I usually see this platform as a Swiss Army Knife for building new features."
"It is a wonderful open-source product that has many out-of-the-box features."
"Big benefit is in relation to cost; there are a lot of out of box things and on the other side it has got an elastic platform for further improvements."
"It allows us to arrange and develop new ideas, then incorporate them into the portal. We can create a one stop information center, so people can access the information from one window."
"Liferay provides a vast range of features with minimal license costs, which makes it better than the others."
"If you need something that is scalable, that needs broader functionality, and you need to develop your own services, then this is an excellent solution."
 

Cons

"It is difficult to scale the solution with respect to the costs and infrastructure."
"For new installations, the setup is simple; but again migrations for the old version are a nightmare."
"Liferay is a very stable product (except for version 7, as it is relatively new)."
"There are a lot of possibilities for improvement in several areas."
"However, it is not very strong yet to be used for completely marketing-oriented implementations."
"Documentation for the newly launched version is not up to the mark."
"The plugins should be more affordable."
"The front-end technologies need improvement."
"There are still some parts where Liferay can improve: Document library: Allow you to view and preview all popular types of files Auditing capability"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our customers pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution."
"Licensing costs can be very expensive."
"It's an open-source structure. Other costs are for professional services to integrate Liferay to other existing systems."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive. What Liferay Digital Experience Platform offers at its current price can be considered something that is worth the money."
"It is a bit expensive."
"Their pricing model should be modified to include per user options instead of just servers/cores, etc."

A non-developer here, and frankly, a little bit of a tech beginner in general. My company branched out into digital experience a bit later than we should have but picking Liferay as a DXP was one o...
What is Liferay’s capacity for backup?
Yes, I think you can trust the cloud feature of Liferay pretty well. It gives you the option to back up your data as well as restore it and that's pretty vital for any digital experience platform....
