Optimizing digital presence with customizable design and seamless integration
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features in Liferay Digital Experience Platform are out-of-box features such as document management, low-code no-code capability, and client extensions. These are very good features of Liferay Digital Experience Platform.
I have utilized the content management feature in Liferay Digital Experience Platform, which is very good and user-friendly. Any layman can use the content management feature.
Liferay Digital Experience Platform has helped us optimize our digital presence and deliver rapid application development. Every customer is happy, and they are giving us repeat orders for whatever we have delivered on Liferay Digital Experience Platform.
What needs improvement?
I would like to see improvements in Liferay Digital Experience Platform where each feature can be loosely coupled, so I can drag and see what can be used instead of bundling the entire application. If this is possible, that would be great.
There are specific features missing at the moment regarding more integrator and LLMs, and BPM is also present. If one or two LLMs could be integrated, it would be beneficial.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Liferay Digital Experience Platform for almost 10 to 12 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Regarding stability and performance, Liferay Digital Experience Platform is stable. The current version is good, but one problem is with objects where the load takes much time if the records are increasing. If there are 10 million records, then there is an issue.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
With the PaaS, scalability is self-explanatory, and with the on-premises deployment, it is scalable.
How are customer service and support?
My knowledge about Liferay Digital Experience Platform technical support is that there is L1, L2, and L3 support. The mail and voice support is good. The people are knowledgeable and can help with certain issues.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before Liferay Digital Experience Platform, I used other solutions such as Drupal, PHP, and Aqua. I have experience with other platforms.
How was the initial setup?
My experience with the setup process was very straightforward.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a good return on investment with Liferay Digital Experience Platform. We have reused the same kind of model in many places and have reaped the return on investment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Regarding cost associated with Liferay Digital Experience Platform, it is a core-based application; servers are core-based systems. In India, it is a very competitive pricing market as other platforms are competing with Liferay Digital Experience Platform. AEM and other platforms are also in the market, so the pricing should be factored according to the Indian market.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
The key differences that prompted me to switch to Liferay Digital Experience Platform are many. A lot of features such as workflow management and document management are absent in other platforms. The frameworks on PHP and Java are more reliable and open-source where the Liferay Digital Experience Platform application is built on.
I decided to go with Liferay Digital Experience Platform after evaluating many other options and solutions in the market. We found Liferay Digital Experience Platform more comfortable according to our customer requirements and as a digital experience platform.
What other advice do I have?
The main benefits that Liferay Digital Experience Platform brings to the table are numerous. First is rapid application development and many features. Features such as content management and document management make your life easy; workflow management is also present. Workflow can be designed and derived. Form development and everything is very smooth and easy to deliver to the end customer, and you can find many features in one box. You have blogs, wikis, and everything with out-of-box functionality.
My experience with actionable insights is positive; they help in refining content strategies. The content creation is helpful. For external content creation, I use headless CMS APIs for Liferay Digital Experience Platform, and headless APIs for content creation are also available.
My thoughts on the integration capabilities are that integration is seamless. You have headless APIs where you can integrate seamlessly with any other application such as LDAP or SSO, or you can also integrate with different external systems. You have an SAP connector; everything is available.
Liferay Digital Experience Platform's open source flexibility has helped in customizing functionalities for the specific needs of my customers as it is a highly flexible application that can be optimized.
My advice for other organizations considering Liferay Digital Experience Platform is that if it's available, we need to improve on the performance, which is currently what we are seeing. Otherwise, earlier Service Builder was acceptable.
On a scale of 1-10, I rate Liferay Digital Experience Platform a 9.

I use the solution in my company for various purposes in areas like public websites, customer portals, self-service portals, employee intranet portals, corporate portals, and partner portals. The tool has multiple use cases. The tool also has digital e-commerce.

How was the initial setup?
The product's initial setup phase is easy.
The solution is deployed on the cloud and on an on-premises model. The product has its own cloud services. After the configuration of the cloud services tool is done in a certain environment, Liferay Digital Experience Platform can be installed on Liferay's cloud platform. Users can also get the tool as a bundle and install it on their preferred cloud, including AWS and Azure, or on an on-premises model.
From a deployment perspective, the tool is a great choice if you consider its quick time-to-market speed.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
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.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
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.
What other advice do I have?
The integration capabilities of the product are super easy to use. I have integrated the tool with a lot of systems and other third-party solutions, and I have seen that it always works well. The integration part of the product is easy, efficient, and smooth.
Speaking about whether a beginner can easily learn to use it or not, I would say that it can be described as a moderately complex process for a new user.
