Liferay Digital Experience Platform Other Solutions Considered
I did not go for other products since the tool's open-source version was available. If I want to learn new features, I can easily try my luck using it to see if it offers enhanced security while getting to see how things work in the tool.
We evaluated Oracle Portal, WordPress, and Drupal.

We evaluated Alfresco (open source software) and Adobe Experience Manager, as alternatives. However, we have used the latter as well, for some other project.

For most of my proposals, I provided a separate sheet that includes other recommended tools. These recommendations were sometimes from the client based on their previous implementations.
For most of the client’s requirements, Liferay was a clear win because of its out-of-the-box features, portlets, and the depth and type of customization it can do.

We knew of applications like Drupal, but we did some research through Google. We settled on Liferay because of it's open-source functionality and our end-user was keen on getting an open-source platform. It was exactly what Liferay offered.
We didn't have extensive comparison tests with other platforms or applications.

View full review »Several content management platforms are available in the market, such as Adobe and, in simpler scenarios, WordPress.
However, being open source is a great advantage if you are looking for extending the existing solution and customizing it for specific scenarios.
Furthermore, the solid stack of frameworks and modern UI technologies is something unique in Liferay.
Being based on OSGi and supporting extension through OSGi is almost too good to be true. With OSGi, we are even able to make hot deployable modules and patches without any significant effort while controlling the dependencies with Gradle in a way that only OSGi can support.

We also evaluated Alfresco, but we decided that Alfresco and Liferay are not competitors. Instead, they both play very well together, for complex situations involving ECM, BPM and Web apps.
