Full-featured unified platform with good scaling options

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case for this product is as a portal. This includes B2B portals, B2C portals, and B2E portals. It is good for any of those use cases. We have some solutions which include all three of these portal types in one deployment. It has the capability of providing good functionality for these portal types in a variety of ways. If you just need a marketing website, I'm not sure that you need a solution like Liferay Digital. You can just use WordPress which will serve your purpose in most cases. But if you need a website that has user authentication and you want to have additional… more »

Pros and Cons

"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."

"It could have better built-in integration with a wider variety of extensions out-of-the-box."

What other advice do I have?

The advice I would give to people considering this type of solution starts with the fact that we really like this platform and it has worked well for us. If you are a developer, you have a lot of options, services, APIs, and everything is open for your development because it is an open-source product. You can change what you need to. You can put in hooks and actually create the solution your customer would like, or your manager, or whatever the person or the organization you are working for. It provides a very easy way to work and very easy to maintain and manage solutions. If you need…

Open source portal platform for multiple user access, but the integration and configuration need to be simplified

What is our primary use case?

We have two primary use cases for this solution between two installations. One is being used as a national business portal, and the other is used as an archival and preservation system.

Pros and Cons

"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 integration and configuration need to be simplified."

What other advice do I have?

With any application, the number one thing is to get the requirements-gathering stage done well, to identify your requirements to do your analysis properly. The requirements gathering needs to be very thorough and all-inclusive. All stakeholders need to be involved. Get a good company for the implementation. You must have the proper hardware sizing. I would recommend Liferay for any company that is looking at deploying an enterprise-wide content management system. I would recommend Liferay any day, anytime. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

Easy to install, customize, and use

What is our primary use case?

We have developed some outlets to manage some specific requirements for public administration and we use this solution to assist.

Pros and Cons

"The solution is easy to install."

"The documentation provided needs to be more detailed. It's sometimes hard to develop things because the documentation is so sparse."

What other advice do I have?

The solution is quite expensive, and, in the Italian market, it may be a barrier to entry for many companies. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. It's a good platform that's easy to install and easy to start to use. It's also easy to customize if you are only going to customize some CSR. Although I've never tested it, I know now that it's possible to have access to more direct APIs.

An open-source enterprise portal that's easy-to-use

Pros and Cons

"The look and feel and the user interface are great."

"The plugins should be more affordable."

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend Liferay to another company, but the price cannot be overlooked. Maintaining a license can be a hefty investment. Due to the licensing and plugin costs, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of eight.

Has a straightforward setup

What is most valuable?

I think that it could be interesting to expand the eCommerce capabilities to the B2C sector.

What needs improvement?

Social areas and capabilities need improvement. If you compare this product with Jive or other standard social business platforms, Liferay has room to improve in terms of reusability, functions, and capabilities. Jive and other leading social business company platforms all have a lot of add-ons. Liferay could add some social add-ons.
