• A lot of the OOB (Out Of the Box) components are still a little buggy and not fully ready to go without some minor tweaks.
• Since the software was acquired not too long ago by Adobe, a lot of Adobe integrated solutions are not fully baked yet. That is getting better with time.

• Liferay scales well both in terms of performance but also in terms of operational self-service and eases the burden on IT.
• Compliance, Marketing and Client Engagement teams can create and modify content and submit it for approval. This results in lower operational costs in the areas of new private-label sites and maintenance of current sites because, prior to Liferay, site content management required expensive IT software engineering resources to implement compliance and marketing content changes.
