Liferay Digital Experience Platform (DXP) vs. XWiki Collaboration Suite

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.

XWiki is very well suited for a very wide range of web collaboration and web development.

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

• XWiki makes it easy to manage semi-structured information, which is at the heart of every knowledge nexus of organizations. It makes it easy to manage in a single system both structured data (such as memberships, projects), and unstructured data.
• XWiki offers a very rich API for creating enterprise applications quickly that are easy to maintain and evolve collaboratively.
• XWiki templating and skinning system is extremely flexible and powerful.

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

Incentivized

• While the basic pieces are available for turning XWiki into an advanced semantic system, some features could be made available more prominently to the user for easing the use of faceted and typed links, paving the way for a new era of collaborative knowledge sharing.

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

XWiki key differentiators in my opinion:

• Fast app development framework with very rich API
• Open-source strategy, opening the way to collaborative innovation

• Create a good environment
• Resolution is not so much better.
• Have a long things to do.
• Content management is better off.

Incentivized

• XWiki has a positive impact on the OW2 communication and collaborations strategies. It saves time when developing applications.
