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

"Architecture is so good that you can fit many organizational structures into Liferay."
"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."
"Flexibility to fit our business requirements under many different scenarios, from simple public web sites to customer or distributor portal solutions and intranets."
"The look and feel and the user interface are great."
"I think that it could be interesting to expand the eCommerce capabilities to the B2C sector."
"The most valuable feature is management and permissions according to user, role, and group."
"From enterprise intranet website requirements to a public facing website that receives heavy traffic, Liferay passes all tests and checks off your requirements."
"Liferay provides a vast range of features with minimal license costs, which makes it better than the others."
"Yammer saves our time because we can communicate with a lot of people at the same time without sending a lot of emails."
"Yammer has allowed the entire company to be able to communicate with each other when the company has internal employees from all over the world."
"The integration with Teams is the biggest value for us."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the communication events."
"The product has allowed cross-functional discussions across every business group throughout the company."
"Yammer provides a simple to use, intuitive platform for enterprise collaboration within the social networking information model."
"The design of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"Lean process improvements and quality control are built into Yammer."
 

Cons

"Its SSL-based client authentication support needs to be improved."
"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."
"It lacks true multi-tenant support."
"Liferay needs a better web content search engine."
"The plugins should be more affordable."
"I am having a hard time getting through the security scans."
"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."
"I would like to see a fancier user interface. That is one of the weak points of Yammer."
"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 would say the whole experience was negative, so that is why we stopped using it."
"You can only search by words or person, you cannot filter by person plus terms, date, etc."
"Perhaps keep working on the integration of other Office products."
"There needs to be access to a channel, without the need to sign-in."
"The interface is clunky and could be improved."
"There is a need for full integration with the other features of Office 365."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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 is a bit expensive."
"I think that there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"Compared to other products like Amazon, Yammer's pricing is fine."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is not bad."
