Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The solution is easy to install.""The integration capabilities of the product are super easy to use.""The web/mobile/portal integration was one of the features that we found most valuable, primarily because it reduced our development time.""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.""I think that it could be interesting to expand the eCommerce capabilities to the B2C sector."

"The initial setup process is straightforward for technical executives.""I use the solution to chat with my team.""It is an excellent all-around communications tool that works well for business purposes.""Screen sharing and chat retention are the most valuable features of Microsoft Teams.""It is easy to coordinate with the technical support team in case of queries.""Valuable screen sharing feature.""The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is the ability to create Google calendar invites. When I click on that option to create an invite, it will go straight to Google in my web browser, and it creates a meeting folder. I'm able to share it with the customers. I've not seen that option in Zoom. Additionally, the solution has high performance, and the video and quality of the calls are good. It has all the features that I need.""The product has improved communication in our organization."

More Microsoft Teams Pros →

Cons
"Social area and capabilities need improvement.""The documentation provided needs to be more detailed. It's sometimes hard to develop things because the documentation is so sparse.""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.""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.""The plugins should be more affordable."

More Liferay Digital Experience Platform Cons →

"It's not as easy to augment your meetings as it is with competitors. For example, in Zoom, if I want to add attendees, I just grab the meeting link and post it to them. With Teams, how to do this is not as clear.""Whiteboard tool not embedded in the solution.""The user interface is slightly weak in Microsoft Teams and could be improved.""They should allow switching between windows in a Teams meeting.""The solution’s stability could be improved.""In terms of functionality, I would like to see support for multi-user or multiple windows for the File structure.""We face issues related to screen-sharing and stability. It is very difficult to get Microsoft's support to troubleshoot the issues. The product also needs to update its recording features.""The product should improve its pricing."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Their pricing model should be modified to include per user options instead of just servers/cores, etc."
  • "It is a bit expensive."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • More Liferay Digital Experience Platform Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing is free to a threshold and then after that you have to license per user."
  • "It is the standard license which is part of many Office packets."
  • "We are satisfied with the price of this solution."
  • "If you have content that requires more security and you want to use it in a more secure manner, with more protection, then it will come at a higher cost."
  • "If you have clients who do not have a computer and are joining with their phones it's an additional fee of $5.00 per user."
  • "The pricing for Teams is very competitive."
  • "My understanding is that there are licensing fees, but I'm not sure how much they might be."
  • "It is affordable because it also includes the licenses on Microsoft Word, Microsoft Office and SharePoint."
