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.

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

"It has a built-in WCMS (web content management system) and provides the ability to develop complex portlet-based web applications, which is valuable because it is Java/Java EE-based and open source."
"Flexibility to fit our business requirements under many different scenarios, from simple public web sites to customer or distributor portal solutions and intranets."
"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."
"It allows us to arrange and develop new ideas, then incorporate them into the portal, creating 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."
"It is a wonderful open-source product that has many out-of-the-box features."
"Liferay is highly scalable and more complex than Drupal."
"We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not."
"inContact has helped our organization greatly by allowing us to see at a glance which agents are available to receive calls and those who are not, we are able to see why not."
"Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training."
"The technical support for NICE CXone is outstanding."
"NICE CXone has had a HUGE impact on our contact center, taking us from a place where we had no visualization on contact volumes, handle times, ASA, etc. to a place where we have full visualization on all metrics and can manage and staff our center as necessary."
"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."
"MindTouch provides an easy way to create HTML using an MS Word-like interface."
"The system is very flexible and powerful, especially for organizations wanting to control their environment."
 

Cons

"The development license might be too costly for small to medium-sized businesses."
"I would like to see better documentation. Updates in the documentation do not follow updates in the code and functionality."
"It could have better built-in integration with a wider variety of extensions out-of-the-box."
"Yes we faced many issues during production deployment and specially performance tuning and best suppoprt architecture."
"We had a number of issues with stability, but we found solutions from the community or in patches for the enterprise edition."
"It could be improved in terms of adding filters to some of the rules. Therefore, you can retain how long a document would need to stay in an archive."
"It lacks true multi-tenant support."
"Liferay does currently lack a good integrated analytics package, automation, and filtering."
"It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out."
"MindTouch would greatly benefit by providing a GitHub pull request functionality to foster draft mode and open contribution writing."
"However, Stage labels do nothing. They simply label the page with the Stage name."
"If you have hundreds of books, the initial download is slow."
"I have noticed that occasionally the dashboard will freeze and some things may get stuck for a while."
"InContact should offer a way to send faxes."
"inContact should offer a way to send faxes."
"I have noticed that occasionally the dashboard will freeze and some things may get stuck for a while. For example, if I have a dashboard open that shows how many calls are in queue and how many are currently being handled by agents, sometimes a call that an agent is handling will get stuck on the dashboard after the agent ends the call and the dashboard will show that the call is still a live call. Our tech team has explained this to us as a ghost call. After some time (or maybe many screen refreshes) the call will go away like it has just ended."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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