  • Drupal and Liferay Digital Experience Platform (DXP)
Jahia is a high level platform from a functional and technical point of view. Its technical architecture best met our expectations of flexibility and performance and future contributors easily grasped the concepts and interface of the solution.

I would say that the Jahia Digital Experience Platform is definitely easiest when it comes to content management. The ease of use when everything is properly implemented is very high. Other platforms have significantly higher effort to make content from scratch in my opinion. Expandability via custom development also appears to be easier. This expandability also seems to support more complex functionality than other platforms, possibly due to the ease of modifications.

Jahia provides a similar user experience to other CMS I have used in the past - it features a simple interface that makes navigating and learning how to use the platform easy and the ability to copy and paste content saves time and effort when building new pages. The ease in which you can manage the site in different languages is also a big plus!

A lot of these technologies are very close when it comes to the technology capabilities, but Jahia came across as the best company to work with in terms of understanding our needs and collaborating with us to deliver the results that the business wanted to see. Finding a technology vendor that is really going to partner with you to deliver the site is what you need and we found that with Jahia Digital Experience Platform.

  • Liferay Digital Experience Platform (DXP)
Liferay was our previous CMS, and while it had some perks it was old and slow (we lived with an outdated version). Jahia Digital Experience Platform and Liferay are very similar from an architecture standpoint and that's why we switched to Jahia Digital Experience Platform. Liferay is more suited for technical portal integrations and our requirement was more on the content authoring simplicity, which is the strength of Jahia Digital Experience Platform.

Jahia goes head-to-head with other leading DXP platforms. We found it had the features our customers prioritized without overcomplicated interfaces and implementations. We work with clients who have built out other DXPs in ways that are cumbersome and even painful to maintain because they picked a bad implementation partner. Jahia has been refreshing for our clients and our developers enjoy working on the platform.

Compared with its free competitors, which are developed by developers all over the world, Jahia has complete control over its DX product, which makes it extremely stable. Bugs are under control and the few that do occur are quickly corrected. The same goes for the modules. They evolve with DX and are immediately compatible. And for those who aren't, it's because other modules are replacing them. There is no risk that the developer who designed a module will no longer maintain it as he does with WordPress.

Jahia is more cost effective and catered to our inhouse development skills. The multi-site support is also very enterprise and organized which allows for us to manage our client relationships with ease when it comes to the web and content. The main driver for our selection was cost and core development knowledge but also great customer support reputation.

Sales and engagement swayed us to purchase Jahia Digital Experience Platform. Personally, I would have gone with Sitecore Experience Platform due to the tech stack. Sitecore Experience Platform never provided anything but a canned demo. Jahia Digital Experience Platform tailored demos to our use case and wowed our stakeholders.

It was already used when I arrived at this job, so I can't say I [picked] this software. However, I used it 10 years ago, and I can see that they really improved the solution, and the interface is much more enjoyable now.

These are the four we traditionally see still. Jahia ranks high when we have a client not needing the brand awareness of Adobe. Not wanting the .Net of Sitecore, and not wanting the PHP of Acquia.

As we wanted more customization capability, we chose Jahia because it appeared to fit better in this aspect with its capacity for personalization. The intuitive interface of Jahia also caught our attention since it would be easier for other users in the company to adapt to the system.

Jahia compares favorably against products like Acquia and Sitecore. Each has their pros and cons. Jahia tends to outperform the competitors in the areas such as ease of integration, contextual content edit experience, and price. Jahia is also very well suited for Java-centric organizations, though it can still be successful in non-Java or agnostic organizations.

Liferay is a good product with a broad community and a strong integration capability but a weak contribution interface and no website management easiness.Drupal is good for simple website needs, with a very large community and modules. But it's architecture is too unstable, from version to version, for long term selection and there is not much integration possibility for corporate IT requirements (banking for ex). Both lack in term of hot deployment and agility/industrialization. Adobe Experience Manager is a good product, but with much higher pricing; and so with lower ROI.

Jahia is flexible and customizable so it allows its users to develop different of pages. However, such work requires additional resources and expertise of third party professionals. Other products I used have been more self sufficient by providing a high range of tools, tutorials, forums and support. In Jahia it seems not to be very easy to move between this or that look or layout.
