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.

Creates user groups and streamlines communication
I think we should have some improvements in Yammer, similar to what we have in Facebook and others, where we can have targeted communications, so that we can filter some communications to go to a specific subset of that group, not to everybody. We would love to have some AI technologies included in Yammer, but I do not have a specific use case in mind right now.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If you need to build enterprise solutions with digital experience, then this product fulfills all the requirements from customization, custom development, integration, and configuration."
"From enterprise intranet website requirements to a public facing website that receives heavy traffic, Liferay passes all tests and checks off your requirements."
"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."
"If you are looking for a complete portal solution with security and ease of set-up, then go for it."
"All the portlets and widgets are plugins, which provides flexibility to add or modify in multiple ways."
"Considering the overall drive towards providing a digital experience to clients, to provide a connected experience, federated touchpoints, dynamic personalization, customer context and interactions, the product has evolved very strongly from just being a horizontal portal system into a digital experience platform."
"As of now, the technology is up-to-date and fulfills all essential requirements."
"The web/mobile/portal integration was one of the features that we found most valuable, primarily because it reduced our development time."
"Valuable features include the integration with Microsoft Office and the fact that it is in the cloud. Also, it's quite easy to use."
"The design of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"From the point of view of knowledge sharing, we created a group per project, and while we had SharePoint for storing documentation, we were able to link to these and give them content in Yammer."
"Yammer is a good collaboration tool for the entire organization."
"The solution was stable."
"There are so many features, everything you could ever want, which is great for team collaboration."
"Its most valuable features are the storyline and communities."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is that anyone can post anything, it's free and people can do it on their own without having to translate to publish, and it's really easy to use."
 

Cons

"We found it difficult to upload documents. It seemed unnecessarily complex."
"The current version is good, but one problem is with objects where the load takes much time if the records are increasing."
"I would like to see better documentation. Updates in the documentation do not follow updates in the code and functionality."
"There are a lot of possibilities for improvement in several areas."
"For new installations, the setup is simple; but again migrations for the old version are a nightmare."
"Although it has been improving, I cannot shake the feeling that it was released too early."
"Yes we faced many issues during production deployment and specially performance tuning and best suppoprt architecture."
"The plugins should be more affordable."
"There are many competitors that are overlapping. Since Microsoft bought Yammer, it tends to be in the shadow."
"Cannot import or invite bulk users from an Active Directory security group."
"I've found Team or Skype for Business are more useful than Yammer."
"The permissions are a little bit over-complicated."
"It just needs a more defined roadmap."
"It has a very limited use."
"Ability to edit posts and also rich text would be good. Currently, unlike other social tools like Facebook at Work and Chatter, Yammer does not have the ability to edit posts."
"I faced some issues with Yammer's mobile app when I shifted from Android to iPhone, and it got a little bit tricky to use it on an iPhone, which took away some of my time."
 

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."
"It's an open-source structure. Other costs are for professional services to integrate Liferay to other existing systems."
"It is a bit expensive."
"Their pricing model should be modified to include per user options instead of just servers/cores, etc."
"Licensing costs can be very expensive."
"I think that there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"I don't know about the pricing. Now that Microsoft has bought Yammer, it should be a part of our subscriptions for Office 365."
"Its cost is included in the license bundle for Microsoft."
"Yammer is a pretty cheap solution, and it's included in multiple subscriptions."
"Compared to other products like Amazon, Yammer's pricing is fine."
"The pricing is not bad."
"We get it as part of our Office 365 subscriptions, so I don't think we pay any additional cost for Yammer. It's included in the Office 365 subscriptions."
