We performed a comparison between Liferay Digital Experience Platform and Office 365 based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Web Content Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 web/mobile/portal integration was one of the features that we found most valuable, primarily because it reduced our development time."
"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."
"The integration capabilities of the product are super easy to use."
"The look and feel and the user interface are great."
"The solution is easy to install."
"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 functionality that is most valuable is the solution's ability to detect patient data in email attachments. Whenever a user sends out an email with patient data embedded in an attachment, it triggers an alert. The tool can detect a social security number and various other forms of patient identity. Emails are then automatically generated and sent."
"Using Office 365 has allowed us to go digital and onboard people seamlessly for working at home during the COVID pandemic."
"The products are quite simple for the end-users to use, the up-time is very good, the product is practically maintenance-free, and the multi-layer security is excellent from the security standpoint."
"Quarantine email alerts to users to allow the email to their inbox (tricky but handy) - tricky if one doesn't have third-party email security, handy if one has got good third party email security)."
"The most valuable feature of Office 365 is that it has many solutions bundled together."
"I love all of the applications being interlinked. I do not have to separately work on an independent system when it comes to file storage, email, and other tools."
"I like Office 365's usability."
"My primary use case is for preparing presentations to teach, often on PowerPoint."
"It could have better built-in integration with a wider variety of extensions out-of-the-box."
"The plugins should be more affordable."
"The documentation provided needs to be more detailed. It's sometimes hard to develop things because the documentation is so sparse."
"Social area and capabilities need improvement."
"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."
"The integration and configuration need to be simplified."
"Office 365 could allow for smoother collaboration with other companies, which is the main reason we use it. The B2B connection is something we need, like global adverse lists between two tenants or multiple users. That's what we're missing at the moment."
"Security is still complex, but the admin console improving."
"Integration between Outlook calendar and Google Calendar would be a good improvement since many of our team use Android phones and personal Gmail accounts as their main calendar application."
"I'm not sure if there are areas of improvement. For us, it's working quite well."
"There are some complexities to the initial setup if you use some of the more advanced features."
"As a private user, I do not appreciate the cloud features, but I doubt that this is something Microsoft would consider a feature request."
"The integration with mobile services is not so good. It's coming, but they could improve a lot."
"Could include integration with other single sign-on solutions."
