Liferay Digital Experience Platform (DXP) vs. Movable Type

Liferay Portal is a framework which comes with a fine grained security/permission model, (Web) Content Management, Authentication and Authorization, outbox portlets with different features to manage content or users. So if any business application has below questions then I can recommend not to use Liferay as a platform.

• Application is big but not content or user driven.
• Application with few static contents.
• Application with batch transactions(DB) i.e. insert , update db records in batch.
• Application with ERP capabilities.
• Application with Big Data support.

Is your business an enterprise level business that has more than a half dozen different content types? If so, then you might want to use a dedicated CMS rather than Movable Type. Movable Type is best used on small / medium sized businesses and is not the best solution for a full-fledged CMS. If you're using your content for something other than just displaying a website, then it's probably not for you. Movable Type works great for news/blogging sites. In fact, Daring Fireball, one of the most popular Apple-centric blogs is using Movable Type as its publishing platform.

• Personalization
• Business to client relationship
• Customer management is better.

• Easy to use straight out of the box, very user friendly with an intuitive interface.
• Great for team use where there are multiple editors and writers fixing and editing each other's works. It's easy to track who last made the latest edits.
• Stellar support team and system. I've found that Moveable Type's support system is generally more responsive and helpful than WordPress.

Incentivized

• Harder to get started
• Enterprise level of options can cause confusion
• Development documentation could be better

• Especially on the older versions, the limited number of well-developed third-party plugins is problematic for efficiently developing a well-functioning website.
• Versions of movable type which didn't allow pages to be constructed were difficult to create continuity in design and easily editable pages for our editors.
• The installation process could be simplified to make it easier for those new to a CMS to install.

We are currently using Liferay Portal and plan to keep using it.

I think there are still improvements to be made. I haven't tapped in to the full functionality of the CMS yet but the rating I give it now is only based on what I've been able to use it for

Liferay Digital Experience Platform (DXP) feels more professional than other similar products I tried or used. With this, I mainly mean the look or aspect when you are editing, setting or configuring anything in the platform, wether you are setting users, roles, creating new pages, adding components to them, or even configuring server or instance related configurations.

Movable Type can be compared to WordPress. It's easy to use, and I would say Movable Type is actually more user-friendly.

• Its high scalability and flexibility has allowed us to include all essential solutions to meet our business needs while preserving the originality of the brand and helping us to improve the quality of our processes and services within the same friendly and unified environment.
• This powerful platform has allowed us to keep the efforts of all our units aligned, from sales, marketing, operations, support and customer service, in a solid collaborative environment.

• Provided a blogging platform when we needed one.
• Helped us compare other blogging platforms as a baseline for what minimums we require and what we don't want.
• Users often refused to use Movable Type and would go around our official system in order to use my more friendly software.
