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.

Creates user groups and streamlines communication
I think we should have some improvements in Yammer, similar to what we have in Facebook and others, where we can have targeted communications, so that we can filter some communications to go to a specific subset of that group, not to everybody. We would love to have some AI technologies included in Yammer, but I do not have a specific use case in mind right now.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Liferay Digital Experience Platform has helped us optimize our digital presence and deliver rapid application development, every customer is happy, and they are giving us repeat orders for whatever we have delivered on Liferay Digital Experience Platform."
"Considering the overall drive towards providing a digital experience to clients, to provide a connected experience, federated touchpoints, dynamic personalization, customer context and interactions, the product has evolved very strongly from just being a horizontal portal system into a digital experience platform."
"The solution is easy to install."
"It is just awesome; you should experience DXP."
"We like Likeray because it's a secure platform."
"The look and feel and the user interface are great."
"I would recommend Liferay for any company that is looking at deploying an enterprise-wide content management system."
"The product has helped our members and communities to freely connect, share knowledge, develop initiatives and share expertise in a secure environment."
"I find it quite simple and intuitive. It's similar to using a more user-friendly interface for SharePoint. It integrates seamlessly with the browser, so you hardly notice you're using it."
"Integration into SharePoint is a valuable feature as it provides better exposure and access to users."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to reach all parts of the organisation to share ideas and best practices."
"I consider Yammer to be the best business collaborative tool."
"The user interface and the way we can share and search information are the most valuable. It is very easy to use."
"The design of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"Yammer allows collaboration anywhere, anytime, on any device."
"Yammer was an outstanding performer in the collaborative platform category."
 

Cons

"The plugins should be more affordable."
"The loading speed could be improved."
"As for now, Liferay DXP was just released, so there are many issues."
"If you are a basic web developer or you have a very small organization, I don't think I would work with it."
"The current version is good, but one problem is with objects where the load takes much time if the records are increasing."
"Liferay is a very stable product (except for version 7, as it is relatively new)."
"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."
"Support provided for the Enterprise Edition is really poor."
"The lack of integration into the Microsoft Office 365 made it difficult to champion throughout the organization."
"Yammer should be able to integrate with Microsoft products, such as Outlook."
"There needs to be access to a channel, without the need to sign-in."
"I've found Team or Skype for Business are more useful than Yammer."
"Users need to be in the Acting Directory to exploit the features."
"You can only search by words or person, you cannot filter by person plus terms, date, etc."
"Customer Service: Good through YCN, but sometimes I got frustrated by translation issue."
"I would like to see a fancier user interface. That is one of the weak points of Yammer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Their pricing model should be modified to include per user options instead of just servers/cores, etc."
"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."
"Licensing costs can be very expensive."
"Its cost is included in the license bundle for Microsoft."
"We get it as part of our Office 365 subscriptions, so I don't think we pay any additional cost for Yammer. It's included in the Office 365 subscriptions."
"I think that there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"Yammer is a pretty cheap solution, and it's included in multiple subscriptions."
"The pricing is not bad."
"Compared to other products like Amazon, Yammer's pricing is fine."
"I don't know about the pricing. Now that Microsoft has bought Yammer, it should be a part of our subscriptions for Office 365."
