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. ----- ### "Liferay configure and extend" — 5.0/5 > **Andrea** | *31 August 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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 > > 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 ----- ### "Useful app to create platforms and websites" — 4.0/5 > **Alice** | *20 October 2022* | Translation & Localization | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **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 > > I developed two websites for different customers with very different needs and despite finding some issues, the results were pretty good. ----- ### "The Best JAVA Base CMS Platform" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 September 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: In current company we are using liferay DXP 7.1 for banking website development. My company choose liferay because the only platform which provide Total web CMS base development . My part in liferay is theme development and custom portlet development as per the company guidelines . Liferay provide full control of CMS which user friendly for customer and also high in security .We have develop many big company site in liferay because this is the only CMS platform till date which have all the custom modules . > > **Cons**: The only problem in liferay is licence cost is too high compared to other product in market. also some time support is delay. support Community is very less so that's why i have faced some problem regarding coding. ----- ### "This CMS platform is great when you also need a mobile version" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *20 May 2018* | Consumer Goods > > **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. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/196561/liferay-dxp?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/196561/liferay-dxp) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
