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.

You can dynamically create navigation, pages and portals. Some parts seemed unstable.
Java-based content management Runtime customizations The main feature and idea of dynamically creating navigation, pages and portals are overall good and very valuable. Also, adjusting portal design (skinning) is quite easy. Then there is the WebCenter Content Repository, where you register the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integration capabilities of the product are super easy to use."
"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."
"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."
"I think that it could be interesting to expand the eCommerce capabilities to the B2C sector."
"The web/mobile/portal integration was one of the features that we found most valuable, primarily because it reduced our development time."
"The solution is easy to install."
"The look and feel and the user interface are great."
"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."
"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet."
"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
 

Cons

"The integration and configuration need to be simplified."
"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."
"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 plugins should be more affordable."
"Social area and capabilities need improvement."
"Its functions need more stability."
"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product."
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"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."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
 

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 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."
"It's an open-source structure. Other costs are for professional services to integrate Liferay to other existing systems."
"The price needs to be lowered."
"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."
"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."

Is Liferay suitable for complete beginners?
A non-developer here, and frankly, a little bit of a tech beginner in general. My company branched out into digital experience a bit later than we should have but picking Liferay as a DXP was one o...
What is Liferay’s capacity for backup?
Yes, I think you can trust the cloud feature of Liferay pretty well. It gives you the option to back up your data as well as restore it and that's pretty vital for any digital experience platform....
What do you like most about Oracle WebCenter?
WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly.
What needs improvement with Oracle WebCenter?
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.
