Liferay Digital Experience Platform (DXP) vs. Oracle WebCenter Sites

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.

Oracle WebCenter Sites is very well suited to presenting marketing content in all shapes and forms, including mobile, an in a corporate web site. Oracle WebCenter Sites can also manage small product catalogs easily. Important things to consider when selecting a CMS:

• How important is the ease with which my business users update content?
• How often are updates made?
• How distributed are my business contributors?
• How important is preview in my organization's workflow and publishing process?

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

• Easy-to-use content authoring and design tools for business users.
• Segmentation based on implicit (behavioral) or explicit (known user or characteristics) criteria or a combination of the two.
• Flexible rules engine for creation of customer segments and recommendations, enabling delivery of targeted content and campaigns.

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

Incentivized

• Creating new content is not so easy
• Publishing is not trivial
• In my opinion documentation is weak
• I think there are cheaper solutions then WCS

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

A valuable tool for enabling marketers and business users to easily create and manage contextually relevant social and interactive online experiences across multiple channels on a global scale to drive sales and loyalty. It also allows multi-site management (in fact Sites) using the assets and template developed, without having to re-implement again for each individual site.

The WebCenter Sites Support team is extremely good and very responsive to client needs. They are quick to resolve Level 1 issues and when escalated to Level 2, the team makes every effort to keep the client informed.

There are lot of WCM products available in the market, some free and some licensed. But for a organisation using more Oracle products and on Java technology, WCS is the best in class, for intranet and internet needs. It has everything which is required for a web application. Also it can be well integrated with other platforms with Oracle Document Cloud/Oracle Content/Oracle Identity Manager and a lot more. Its a well integrated product. It can also be integrated with social media using a community plugin. It also comes with its own search and analytics tools. The templates are pure JSP and can be easily coded by Java developers using the development guide. Its based on Java, so writing custom applications and integrating is easy
