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.

Has a user-friendly interface but performance is not up to scratch

I mainly use WebCenter for content management and publishing WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly. WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system. Its performance is also not up to the market standard, and its agility and adaptability could be improved.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integration capabilities of the product are super easy to use."

"The solution is easy to install."

"The web/mobile/portal integration was one of the features that we found most valuable, primarily because it reduced our development time."

"I think that it could be interesting to expand the eCommerce capabilities to the B2C sector."

"The look and feel and the user interface are great."

"We chose Liferay because it is open-source and that we can make any number of users apply, register into the system and use the system, as opposed to other solutions where the cost is based on user licenses. This is one of the most attractive features."

"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. We can create a one stop information center, so people can access the information from one window."

"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."

"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."

"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet."

"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."

"Integration within the solution is very good."

"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."

"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."

Cons

"The plugins should be more affordable."

"The documentation provided needs to be more detailed. It's sometimes hard to develop things because the documentation is so sparse."

"It could have better built-in integration with a wider variety of extensions out-of-the-box."

"The integration and configuration need to be simplified."

"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."

"Social area and capabilities need improvement."

"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."

"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."

"The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product."

"There are many document management systems that offer pretty much the same functionalities but at a lower price. The product as such is pretty good. However, the pricing is not comparable. They need to adjust their pricing to be more competitive on the market."

"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."

"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."

"Its functions need more stability."

"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"It is a bit expensive."

"Their pricing model should be modified to include per user options instead of just servers/cores, etc."

"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."

"The price of this solution is considered to be high; however, when speaking with Oracle, it is possible to get discounts of up to sixty percent."

"The price needs to be lowered."

"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
