Pros

Liferay is like that reliable and versatile friend everyone values having, but in the digital world. This platform, with its impressive solidity, has completely transformed the way companies approach designing online experiences for their users. Imagine having a toolbox at your disposal that not only allows you to build attractive websites, vibrant portals, and internal applications that truly make work easier, but also gives you the freedom to customize every detail to perfectly suit your needs. That's Liferay.

Cons

Liferay's main drawback lies in its complexity and steep learning curve, hindering quick implementation and customization for non-technical users. Additionally, its extensive features can overwhelm smaller projects, leading to resource-intensive maintenance. However, its robustness and scalability make it a solid choice for large enterprises with dedicated development teams.

I developed two websites for different customers with very different needs and despite finding some issues, the results were pretty good.

Pros

Customisation, available features and Java-base tool so new portlet can be developed internally

Cons

I don't like tutorials beign available only upon payment, documentation is also messy but there is room for improvement

It is a complete portal for structured and multi-site companies, in which all the intranet applications necessary for a modern organization can be organized

Pros

I like the platform structure which is Enterprise. Its extensibility with modules and plug-ins. His possibility to configure login with Google, Facebook and lots other ID Management system.

Cons

I am sorry that the part of the community (open source software) has decreased over time and there is less and less support outside the legacy line

Llevo desde 2009 trabajando con Liferay en diversos proyectos y la plataforma ha mejorado mucho en cuanto a usabilidad y funcionalidades con Audience Targeting y Liferay Commerce. Su rendimiento sigue siendo muy mejorable y la arquitectura es complicada pero es una opción viable para implementar casi cualquier portal web.

Pros

La gran cantidad de modulos que aporta la solución hace que muchas de las necesidades que pueda tener un proyecto web ya estén cubiertas por un módulo que poder importar desde el marketplace. Vale para casi todos los portales web que necesites, diseñado para albergar todas las webs que una empresa pueda necesitar. Su includión en el comercio electrónico y en la aumatización de marketing no es la mejor del mercado pero unida a la calidad del portal y a su servicio de hosting hace que sea una plataforma tremendamente competitiva.

Cons

La última versión prácticamente imposibilita las migraciones desde anteriores versiones debido al cambio arquitectural. Se ha descuidado un poco la versión gratuita. La interfaz de administración sigue siendo complicada. El desarrollo sigue siendo demasiado "mundo java".

Pros

This platform is the perfect solution when you need a responsive mobile design of your website or an app with the same contents. It's really easy to transform your current website to a perfect mobile version by using the already integrated features in the platform. Another good point is that you can manage your resources like images and videos from the same CMS without the need of having to rely on another third-party client. Being an open-source tool allows you to customise it to your convenience and you are not limited like it can happen with other commercial options. Compared to other solutions, the cost of its implementation is relatively low.

Cons

One of the major cons of Liferay is that there is no documentation available. It's true that because it's open source you can find a lot of information from communities. Regarding the portal security, there is room for improvement. Especially because you need to work with droplets, which are sometimes not easy to develop and you can end up developing something insecure.
