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

"Liferay is very quick and easy to set up, whether you are using the built-in database or an external database."
"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."
"This product is very secure, robust, and highly scalable."
"We like Likeray because it's a secure platform."
"The integration capabilities of the product are super easy to use."
"Liferay provides a vast range of features with minimal license costs, which makes it better than the others."
"All the portlets and widgets are plugins, which provides flexibility to add or modify in multiple ways."
"From enterprise intranet website requirements to a public facing website that receives heavy traffic, Liferay passes all tests and checks off your requirements."
"MangoApps is my go-to recommendation for sole proprietorships, startups, SMBs, or even established companies who need a one-stop-shop for communication, filesharing, knowledge base management, and project management."
"The ability to have a box storage feature supporting each community page is the most valuable feature, i.e., similar to what we already know."
 

Cons

"The documentation provided needs to be more detailed. It's sometimes hard to develop things because the documentation is so sparse."
"Support provided for the Enterprise Edition is really poor."
"Staging and LARs export/import features. This is always a pain in Liferay with many errors caused mostly by some inconsistent data in the database."
"Liferay needs a better web content search engine."
"The front-end technologies need improvement."
"Setup was not straightforward. The Community Edition was a bit complicated and they should fix the code."
"The loading speed could be improved."
"There are several areas that need improvement: The core code base needs refactoring."
"The ability to work on the documents themselves, without having to download and re-upload is needed."
"It doesn't have the most professional sounding name... but then again, I don't know that the name of a solution should be a factor in your decision making."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's an open-source structure. Other costs are for professional services to integrate Liferay to other existing systems."
"It is a bit expensive."
"Licensing costs can be very expensive."
"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."
"Their pricing model should be modified to include per user options instead of just servers/cores, etc."

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....
