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.

Omnichannel features have unified journeys and AI now speeds up responses for our agents
NICE CXone is a good feature, but it is expensive and costlier than other products such as Genesis or other alternatives. When it comes to solutioning, there are too many SKUs, which are line items or components that could have been bundled together. For example, CXone agent licenses do not include QM in the basic packages, whereas in the Genesis world it is bundled. The price comparison is higher compared to Genesis or other platforms. I have been using Genesis for three to four years across multiple customers, and now that NICE CXone has become available, I have started comparing all the features and benefits. I find there are some gaps, with more features available but at a higher cost for NICE. Regarding cost-effectiveness and return on investment of NICE CXone, the main challenge is working with the NICE team. The speed of onboarding is lengthy and people-dependent initially. When comparing with other OEMs and CCaaS products, the UI interface and partner portal have multiple access points. I need to log into different portals for NICE CXone, whereas my other competitor platforms offer single sign-on where I can log in once and access all partner-led programs and learning materials in one location. There is room for improvement in this area, though gradually NICE can change this approach.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"All the features that are provided by Liferay are very useful, such as Web Content, Document Library and Media, Roles, Permissioning, Resources, Organizations, Users, Sites, Custom Fields, Plugins, and so on."
"This product is very secure, robust, and highly scalable."
"The solution is easy to install."
"All the portlets and widgets are plugins, which provides flexibility to add or modify in multiple ways."
"You can create and manage dozens of sites with a single installation of Liferay, without a single line of Java code."
"The integration capabilities of the product are super easy to use."
"Architecture is so good that you can fit many organizational structures into Liferay."
"Liferay is very quick and easy to set up, whether you are using the built-in database or an external database."
"The only thing I liked about this was the fact that you can create an online help system where information changes dynamically."
"It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG."
"The technical support for NICE CXone is outstanding."
"It is easy to look up and playback calls with this system as it categorizes the different types of calls that come through my call center. I like that inContact is always updating and continues to improve. The quality of its recorded calls is among the best that I have had experience with."
"We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not."
"Some of the best features with NICE CXone are the real-time visibility that you have, which empowers you to make adjustments on the fly, such as turning on and off your queues and adjusting how we route calls to our agents."
"It's easier as a supervisor to do your job more efficiently. You can have multiple things open at once to watch everything, being able to take one look at a page and see everything you need rather then having to flip through multiple programs. This is such a time saver. I get a lot more done in my day due to being able to keep my opened programs down to a minimum."
"I assess the impact of the omnichannel capabilities on customer journey consistency as excellent, as it is a single pane of glass solution where all channels and omnichannel features are available, which is very supportive and increases customer productivity overall."
 

Cons

"Although it has been improving, I cannot shake the feeling that it was released too early."
"However, it is not very strong yet to be used for completely marketing-oriented implementations."
"Documentation is an issue and needs to be improved."
"Liferay is a phenomenal product with deficient marketing."
"It lacks true multi-tenant support."
"I would like to see it require fewer configurations from the properties file, and provide more GUI options to configure changes."
"As for now, Liferay DXP was just released, so there are many issues."
"It could have better built-in integration with a wider variety of extensions out-of-the-box."
"The audio quality in NICE CXone has room for improvement, as I experience issues like diffused calls and crackling audio."
"I think that there could be improvements in the actual structuring and formatting of content, i.e., when creating topics and guides in MindTouch."
"I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific."
"There are times when the data does not load and you have to keep hitting refresh. More colors and different layouts should be included in the next release."
"With lots of screenshots to be replaced when we perform a service release, this is pretty tedious work."
"NICE CXone is a good feature, but it is expensive and costlier than other products such as Genesis or other alternatives."
"If you have hundreds of books, the initial download is slow."
"I was using a very old version (2010), and the user interface was bad making it difficult to perform simple tasks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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