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.

Have streamlined daily workflow and task management but still face inconvenience from recent interface changes and limited integration options
There are challenges and issues in Microsoft Teams, such as after recent updates where group chats were combined with Teams, chats, and groups into one. Users have to work with settings to make it normal again so Teams are separated from chats, and that was a really inconvenient update. Many users ask me to help make it back again to separate Teams and groups from one-to-one chats. That's probably the worst update they've made recently. Additionally, there are some minor features, such as when I work with messages, I don't have an actual forward or quote option when replying to someone's message. I need to be careful not to miss the quote sign. For a lot of people, they are confused about where the quotes option is. I've received a couple of hundred support tickets just regarding this issue. The function to share email to Teams chat doesn't work sometimes due to our compliance policies, and sometimes it would be nice to be able to forward an email to the group chat and have further discussions. Microsoft Teams could improve by being less glitchy because it glitches a lot, leading to undelivered emails and undelivered messages. It would be beneficial if the MS application Shifts, which adds functionality to groups, could be integrated into the groups calendar. Currently, many teams don't use the app because it is not integrated with the general calendar or the Outlook calendar, making it basically a useless application. The platform needs less Copilot and more people. The general Copilot integration into the platform is less glitchy, but Microsoft Teams is quite heavy and glitchy sometimes. Stability depends a lot on compliance restrictions, policies, and quality of internet. Sometimes, when updates are enrolling, the platform glitches, breaks, or shuts down.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a wonderful open-source product that has many out-of-the-box features."
"Flexibility to fit our business requirements under many different scenarios, from simple public web sites to customer or distributor portal solutions and intranets."
"Big benefit is in relation to cost; there are a lot of out of box things and on the other side it has got an elastic platform for further improvements."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Compared to other big players in portal platforms, Liferay's pricing is very competitive, and remember, the latest version of Liferay is not just a portal framework, but it is a digital experience platform which offers way more."
More Liferay Digital Experience Platform pros
"One big advantage of this solution over competitors is it is bundled with Office 365, which makes it more convenient and allows it to integrate well with Outlook and other applications such as your calendar."
"Microsoft Teams combines most of the Office 365 products in one very convenient product."
"I am impressed with the tool's integration with SharePoint where we can access it with a single click from the platform. The solution is available in web and mobile versions so it gives a seamless experience when we move from one device to another. Especially when you're on the calls, you don't need to get out of one device, and then log in to another, and then join that meeting. You need to just switch."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is its video calling feature which makes it easier to work on the solution."
"The solution is relatively stable."
"The initial setup was really straightforward and easy."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"We can build a team with a group of people and upload documents."
More Microsoft Teams pros
 

Cons

"There are still some parts where Liferay can improve: Document library: Allow you to view and preview all popular types of files Auditing capability"
"Liferay is a phenomenal product with deficient marketing."
"The documentation provided needs to be more detailed; it's sometimes hard to develop things because the documentation is so sparse."
"The current version is good, but one problem is with objects where the load takes much time if the records are increasing."
"Social area and capabilities need improvement."
"There are several areas that need improvement: The core code base needs refactoring."
"The integration and configuration need to be simplified."
"It could have better built-in integration with a wider variety of extensions out-of-the-box."
More Liferay Digital Experience Platform cons
"One time the product was basically freezing. I couldn't send a message to my colleague for some reason."
"The product needs to improve its security."
"Currently, the product limitations are keeping us from migrating to expanding its use."
"The solution should fix the ease of use directly outside of the office environment. Right now, unless I'm at my office desktop, it's hard to access it."
"Only once did we really get help from Microsoft support; the rest were cases we resolved ourselves while just exchanging useless emails with support."
"The call quality could be better sometimes. Microsoft could improve the quality of the backgrounds. File sharing could also be smoother. It takes a lot of clicks to download and copy the links. It should be only one click."
"One challenge I've encountered with the tool is that it's not as intuitive as it could be. For example, when making invitations or initiating calls, it often takes two or three clicks to get started, which feels less efficient compared to other tools like Zoom. The interface seems to have too much functionality packed into one environment."
"It could be improved if it was easier to use and the interface was revamped."
More Microsoft Teams cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's an open-source structure. Other costs are for professional services to integrate Liferay to other existing systems."
"Licensing costs can be very expensive."
"Their pricing model should be modified to include per user options instead of just servers/cores, etc."
"It is a bit 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."
"The product is expensive, and I rate its pricing a ten out of ten."
"The tool's price is high. We purchase Microsoft Office 365 on per user basis and we get support also on that basis."
"It is expensive."
"Its pricing is reasonable."
"We get the solution on a corporate plan, where everything is included."
"We are using the free version of the solutions."
"The solution is part of enterprise Microsoft 365 licensing."
"It costs around $12 for SharePoint and Teams per user."
