Featured Reviews

Bhavin Panchani - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers integration capabilities that are very easy to use
My company has 20 people who work on the product. I know that my company has around seven customers who use the tool. I recommend the product depending on the use cases of the person who wants to buy it. If your use case is to develop a public site, customer portal, self-service, or intranet, I would say that you should go for the Liferay Digital Experience Platform. If your use cases are related to e-commerce, you need to evaluate your use cases against Liferay Digital Experience Platform, and you can use it if you find it to be a good fit. Otherwise, you should search for other platforms.

Versatile, user-friendly, and allows websites to grow seamlessly with increasing traffic
In my 15 years of experience with WordPress, one improvement I would suggest is addressing the challenge of testing plugins. While there are thousands available, many free versions are not fully functional. Access to fully functional commercial plugins often requires purchasing with dollars, which can be challenging for users facing financial constraints or difficulties obtaining foreign currency. Simplifying the process of testing and providing feedback on commercial plugins could enhance the overall user experience in future releases.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I think that it could be interesting to expand the eCommerce capabilities to the B2C sector."
"The solution is easy to install."
"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."
"The look and feel and the user interface are great."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features of WordPress by AMIMOTO are its optimized performance, scalability, and stability."
 

Cons

"It could have better built-in integration with a wider variety of extensions out-of-the-box."
"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."
"Social area and capabilities need improvement."
"The plugins should be more affordable."
"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."
"One improvement I would suggest is addressing the challenge of testing plugins."
 

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."
"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."
