Customer journey insights have guided UX changes and now streamline our digital decisions
The best features ContentSquare offers include heatmaps, PII masking, GDPR compliance, good performance, and customer journey analytics. The feature that has made the biggest difference for my team is that ContentSquare is now a step ahead of the competition since it delivers insights based on predefined business KPIs and customer journeys that we have set up. We can also segment our traffic and easily shift through the many recordings, finding the ones that match our lookup criteria. The new non-flash interface is clean and simple to use and has all the functionality centralized. ContentSquare has positively impacted my organization, and it has helped us to integrate with analytic and optimization solutions and also helped us in identifying barriers in the customer journey.

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

"ContentSquare is a great tool to analyze and get insights from customers' journeys and customer behaviors within those journeys."
"ContentSquare is a great tool to analyze and get insights from customer journeys and customer behaviors within those journeys."
"You can create and manage dozens of sites with a single installation of Liferay, without a single line of Java code."
"From enterprise intranet website requirements to a public facing website that receives heavy traffic, Liferay passes all tests and checks off your requirements."
"I would recommend Liferay for any company that is looking at deploying an enterprise-wide content management system."
"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."
"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."
"I think that it could be interesting to expand the eCommerce capabilities to the B2C sector."
"It is a wonderful open-source product that has many out-of-the-box features."
"All the portlets and widgets are plugins, which provides flexibility to add or modify in multiple ways."
 

Cons

"ContentSquare can be improved in specific areas."
"Time and resources to use the tool are not always worth the investment."
"The front-end technologies need improvement."
"Liferay is a phenomenal product with deficient marketing."
"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."
"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."
"The documentation could be better."
"Liferay does currently lack a good integrated analytics package, automation, and filtering."
"Documentation is an issue and needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing costs can be very expensive."
"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."
