Quotes From Members

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

Pros
"We use a part of the solution called Acquia. The personalization portion of this is the most valuable aspect fo the solution.""The feature I find most valuable is that Drupal is a framework and not only a CMS." More Drupal Pros »	"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.""I think that it could be interesting to expand the eCommerce capabilities to the B2C sector.""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.""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 solution is easy to install.""The look and feel and the user interface are great." More Liferay Digital Experience Platform Pros »
Cons
"The user experience in designing layouts should be much easier or much more helpful.""I think the support needs to improve, as well as the integration with tracking and analytics systems." More Drupal Cons »	"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.""Social area and capabilities need improvement.""It could have better built-in integration with a wider variety of extensions out-of-the-box.""The integration and configuration need to be simplified.""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." More Liferay Digital Experience Platform Cons »

Pricing and Cost Advice
"I would like to see better pricing." More Drupal Pricing and Cost Advice »	"It is a bit expensive.""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." More Liferay Digital Experience Platform Pricing and Cost Advice »
