Liferay Digital Experience Platform (DXP) vs. Squiz Digital Experience Platform

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.

Working with a large amount of web content where there is a need to focus on related content.

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

Incentivized

• Speed and efficiency
• Roles and content control
• Related content

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

Incentivized

• User Interface was good but heavy, with Java powering the backbone I recall finding this somewhat troublesome at the time.

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

I don't work with Squiz any more so it's difficult to say, that said, the site is still running on the same CMS so obviously it's still considered a great platform

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.

Easier to work with

• 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.

Incentivized

• Having a single powerful CMS platform that would integrate a number of organisations that had recently merged - Squiz was a big part of bringing our web architecture together gracefully.
• Increased employee efficiency
