Liferay Digital Experience Platform (DXP) vs. Strapi

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.

1. If a headless CMS is needed. 2. Need the cms UI to be clean. 3. There is a need for customization options in the UI and API as well. 4. Expertise in javascript and need cms with node js backend. 5. Want auth APIs pre-made. 6. Easy to customize the backend as well. 7. The user interface can be fully customizable.
