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.

Crowdsourced knowledge has grown into a trusted customer hub and now supports richer adoption journeys
One inconvenience is that because we are crowdsourced, we have hundreds of contributors every year, with most people only submitting one article, maybe two, so it does not make sense to pay for licenses for all of those people. This leads to some intermediary manual copy-paste processes because we just cannot have everybody working in the system itself, making it a little bit problematic for maintaining a source of truth. The main issues with NICE CXone are the lack of ability to integrate with some internal things that we want to do; it has to do with the way the system is designed, which is complex. We wanted to integrate with our internal system for instant translations, and we were not able to do that, along with a couple of other things that illustrate that it is kind of an isolated system to itself, making it pretty hard to tap into and grow even further. There are a couple of little issues with reporting that have not been very good, but really, the system is very functional.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"This product is very secure, robust, and highly scalable."
"It’s fast, easy, scalable, and stable with a competitive price."
"The integration capabilities of the product are super easy to use."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is management and permissions according to user, role, and group."
"Architecture is so good that you can fit many organizational structures into Liferay."
"Liferay is highly scalable and more complex than Drupal."
"For me personally, NICE CXone has helped me manage my time and workflow better."
"We have seen improvements in agent productivity, customer satisfaction, and reduced wait times, specifically an improvement in our CSAT scores and NPS scores, a reduction in cost per call, a decrease in average handle time, and utilization across the board has improved."
"MindTouch provides an easy way to create HTML using an MS Word-like interface."
"A combination of these two elements yields positive impact, and we see metrics indicating self-servicing where calls are not getting escalated to agents, and feedback has improved significantly."
"The best features NICE CXone offers include integrations, flexibility, and a modern AI base that is built into the platform."
"Because of the simplicity and the reliability, NICE CXone is a very nice, easy-to-use product."
"NICE CXone has positively impacted my organization by seamlessly joining our calls without any call drops, allowing me to listen to a call with ease, and making everything really easy to use and self-explanatory."
"If you are wondering if you or your company should use NICE inContact, I would suggest reaching out to them and asking for a demonstration."
 

Cons

"Liferay is a very stable product (except for version 7, as it is relatively new)."
"Liferay requires more room to provide ease of use for the content contributors."
"The current version is good, but one problem is with objects where the load takes much time if the records are increasing."
"Liferay needs a better web content search engine."
"Major upgrades switch the Liferay framework core structure dramatically in EVERY occasion."
"We had a number of issues with stability, but we found solutions from the community or in patches for the enterprise edition."
"Social areas 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."
"NICE CXone is a good feature, but it is expensive and costlier than other products such as Genesis or other alternatives."
"One of the things I dislike about NICE CXone is that during the evaluation process, it was promised that true omnichannel routing would be part of the product, but it turns out that was not necessarily the case."
"My advice to others looking into using NICE CXone is that it is an expensive product with a lot of guardrails on it."
"I ran into many issues with data integrity, forecast accuracy, cross-skilling and cross-utilization of agents, and net staffing reports."
"I have noticed that occasionally the dashboard will freeze and some things may get stuck for a while."
"Occasionally, the system runs slow and will kick us out of Max, which then has to be restarted, and can cause issues as our call center deals with time sensitive phone calls."
"Your docs go on their servers and getting them out is difficult, especially if you want to switch to another authoring format, e.g., Markdown. There are no converters and an automated extraction of the docs from the CMS is not available."
"One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Their pricing model should be modified to include per user options instead of just servers/cores, etc."
"It is a bit expensive."
"We had a custom setup that cost us some money."
