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.

Has a user-friendly interface but performance is not up to scratch
I mainly use WebCenter for content management and publishing WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly. WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system. Its performance is also not up to the market standard, and its agility and adaptability could be improved.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has a built-in WCMS (web content management system) and provides the ability to develop complex portlet-based web applications, which is valuable because it is Java/Java EE-based and open source."
"Liferay was mainly selected by me due to its collaboration and the digital features that help to make the digital platforms very strong for the customers."
"All the features that are provided by Liferay are very useful, such as Web Content, Document Library and Media, Roles, Permissioning, Resources, Organizations, Users, Sites, Custom Fields, Plugins, and so on."
"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."
"If you are looking for a complete portal solution with security and ease of set-up, then go for it."
"The look and feel and the user interface are great."
"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."
"Compared to other platforms the initial setup is not very complex."
More Liferay Digital Experience Platform pros
"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet (based on WebCenter)."

"Integration within the solution is very good."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."

More Oracle WebCenter pros
 

Cons

"Documentation for the newly launched version is not up to the mark."
"Liferay is a very stable product (except for version 7, as it is relatively new)."
"If you are a basic web developer or you have a very small organization, I don't think I would work with it."
"Support provided for the Enterprise Edition is really poor."
"Licensing costs can be very expensive."
"Social areas and capabilities need improvement."
"Social area and capabilities need improvement."
"There are still some parts where Liferay can improve: Document library: Allow you to view and preview all popular types of files Auditing capability"
More Liferay Digital Experience Platform cons
"This lapse is very bad for my company because I can't change the version of Word and downgrade."
"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
"Rules for contents personalization, workflows, publishing content, and the satellite cache all have room for improvement!"
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"Its functions need more stability."
"There are many document management systems that offer pretty much the same functionalities but at a lower price. The product as such is pretty good. However, the pricing is not comparable. They need to adjust their pricing to be more competitive on the market."
More Oracle WebCenter cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Licensing costs can be very expensive."
"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 price of this solution is considered to be high; however, when speaking with Oracle, it is possible to get discounts of up to sixty percent."
"The price needs to be lowered."
"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
