What do you like best about Liferay Digital Experience Platform?

Nothing. It is really a bad piece of software that should be abandoned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Liferay Digital Experience Platform?

As a developer having to build portals on top of Liferay it regularly makes me want to throw my computer out the window. We have multiple senior engineers at our company who threaten to quit if they ever have to work on a Liferay project again.

It might be a bit cheaper than the competition (but still super expensive) but even the simplest task can take very long. E.g it took a team of 8 engineers two months to update a website from Liferay 7.0 to 7.1.

It injects a full Bootstrap 4 and about 2MB of other crap (e.g. YUI) into the UI of your website. If you happen to also use Bootstrap 4 it will mess up your CSS. You cannot get rid of their Admin UI even for non-admin users if you want to use Liferay Forms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Liferay Digital Experience Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a Portal CMS. We use it for portals. Usually, the customers chose Liferay over better alternatives because of the slightly lower license fees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from David Guerra of Liferay

We are sorry to hear that you have been frustrated with Liferay. Although we understand that upgrading can be challenging, it appears that you are on an older release, and many of the items that you are struggling with have been addressed in our later versions.

The latest release, 7.4, has been created to alleviate many of the challenges that developers face with software upgrades, and we continue to work with our community of developers to make sure our platform is easy to use and provides you with the right set of functionality. Please reach out to your customer service manager for more information.

What do you like best about Liferay Digital Experience Platform?

I have been working on the Liferay platform as a Java developer for several years now both in my full time job and as an open source contributor. I like Liferay above all other platforms because of it's flexibility and extensible. Liferay has done a great job providing a solid platform (complete with a strong SDK surrounding users, account management, social integration API's, communication API's, etc) while not restricting the developer or owner in any way.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Liferay Digital Experience Platform?

Because of Liferay is very extensible there is a strong learning curve. This is not a bad thing, but the worst thing about the platform (and this can be said for any large platform) is that some of the integrations points are drastically under documented. As a resulted it takes years to truly become a SME and at a certain level you are essentially going to be inventing the wheel Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Liferay Digital Experience Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Liferay in conjunction with a BPMN system as a business process management platform. We also extensively use the document library as a document data store (currently have over 3 million large design files in there). The design file automation we build using document library extensions is very neat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
