In this way, the Liferay Digital Platform proves to be strategic for Banco do Nordeste by offering a solid, flexible, and secure technological base, capable of supporting the continuous evolution of institutional digital channels, reconciling governance, systemic integration, and focus on user experience.

As a main limitation, Liferay Digital is not natively oriented towards digital marketing and commercial campaigns, requiring additional integrations for these purposes. Furthermore, it is a robust and complex platform, with a steep learning curve and dependence on a specialized technical team, factors that can increase the effort of implementation and maintenance. Nevertheless, these characteristics stem from its architecture focused on systemic integration, governance, and security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I value most about Liferay DXP is the flexibility it offers to build complex portals and digital experiences without feeling limited by the platform. Its customization capability, along with a modular architecture and the possibility of integrating with other systems, makes it a very powerful solution for enterprise projects.

The learning curve can be somewhat steep at first, especially for teams without prior experience with enterprise platforms like Liferay DXP. Additionally, some advanced configurations and certain customizations require a considerable level of technical knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What stands out most about Liferay Digital Experience Platform is its ability to combine enterprise-grade capability with genuine ease of use. Unlike many legacy DXP platforms, Liferay offers a modern, intuitive interface for both administrators and content authors, which significantly reduces onboarding time and improves adoption across teams.

I think all platforms have this problem now, while I believe LIferay is taking the lead around AI for similar platforms, I wish they would move faster. With that said, their AI is really good, I just want more! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Liferay offers a complete set of tools that allow our development team to create prototypes quickly that have full features working in the backend. For example the UI allows for quick page creation, but for many demonstrations we are able to tie directly into systems the customers are using for content, using just the OOTB tools, allow the customers to not just see generic page creations, but their content being displayed and manipulated inside the Liferay tool.

The next piece is their expanding tool sets that are allowing interactions with other systems. We have used the headless API to create multiple mobile applications that are able to provide the same services as the web app very quickly delivering the same look and feel to the web customers. The latest integrations we have been working with has been the MCP server that allows Liferay to interact with AI agents. We have started to use this to increase development efficiency allowing AI to create frameworks, objects, pages, and Groovy scripts that run within the Liferay system.

The helpdesk support can be hit or miss. We often work in a proprietary system so the software cannot be shared. When we run into issues the helpdesk often asks us to recreate the issue in a vanilla Liferay instance which can be burdensome, and often shows the same issue we had been showing in our custom system.

What I like most about Liferay DXP is that it is an open, modular, and mature platform at the same time. It has a lot of ready-to-use functionality (CMS, DAM, workflow, forms, page builder, commerce, single sign-on), but at the same time, it allows you to extend or replace any piece without clashing with the core. The headless strategy with REST and GraphQL APIs makes it very natural to integrate it with existing backends, mobile apps, or frontends in React/Angular. As a partner, we have been implementing it for years in very different sectors: financial, government, retail, logistics, and we always find a way to solve the use case without having to change the product. That combination of enterprise capabilities, partner ecosystem, and training is, for me, the real difference compared to other DXP in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The size of the third-party extensions marketplace, compared to massive ecosystems, is smaller. In my experience, this is compensated by the ease of building your own functionality on the framework, but it is a point where Liferay still has room to grow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate most about Liferay DXP is how it combines a robust enterprise portal foundation with modern digital experience capabilities in a single, unified platform. The modular architecture based on OSGi makes it remarkably flexible, we can extend or customize almost any component without touching the core. The drag-and-drop page authoring with Fragments and Content Pages lets our marketing team build and update landing pages independently, which has cut our time-to-publish from days to hours. The built-in headless APIs (REST and GraphQL) made it straightforward to feed content into our mobile app and a separate React frontend without duplicating effort. We also rely heavily on the Workflow engine and the granular role/permission model for our multi-site, multi-tenant setup. Finally, the fact that it's open-source-rooted gives us long-term confidence - no vendor lock-in, and the community plus official documentation are genuinely helpful. AI also is a strong foundation in the portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest challenge with Liferay DXP is the learning curve. The platform is enormously capable, but new developers on the team typically need several weeks to become productive - especially around OSGi modules, Service Builder, and the Liferay-specific build tooling. Better first-day onboarding materials and more end-to-end "starter project" tutorials in the official documentation would shorten that ramp-up considerably. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What we like best about the Liferay Digital Experience Platform is that it is far more than a traditional CMS or portal. For us, Liferay is a true platform for digital solutions.

We use Liferay to implement customer, partner, supplier, and employee portals on a common basis. This allows us to create consistent and modern user experiences that can be flexibly adapted to different target groups and use cases. The UI and UX possibilities are very versatile, allowing for both classic and highly individualized frontends.

A major advantage is the strong integration capability. In most projects, Liferay serves as the central interaction layer over existing systems such as ERP, CRM, or specialized applications. Especially in mature IT landscapes, this is a decisive success factor, as existing systems can continue to be used and meaningfully integrated.

We have also had very good experiences in terms of performance and scalability. Liferay is suitable for both smaller entry-level scenarios and large, business-critical platforms with many users and complex requirements.

We also greatly appreciate the clear architectural approach. By separating standard and individual extensions, we can build solutions that remain maintainable and upgradeable in the long term. This directly impacts the ROI, as further developments and operations remain sustainably plannable.

In the area of support and onboarding, we benefit from an active community as well as professional manufacturer support. With the appropriate experience, projects can be set up in a structured manner and implemented efficiently.

The development in the area of AI and automation is also exciting. Liferay increasingly offers opportunities to support and further expand personalized content, intelligent search functions, or automated processes.

Overall, Liferay enables us to realize scalable and future-proof digital platforms that go far beyond traditional web solutions and offer real added value to our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As with such a comprehensive platform, Liferay also brings a certain complexity with it. Especially for smaller or less complex use cases, the initial setup and architecture can seem relatively demanding.

The familiarization for new developers or departments also requires time. To fully exploit the potential of the platform, a solid understanding of the architecture, concepts, and best practices is necessary.

In terms of UI and UX, many possibilities are available, but the implementation of very individual or cutting-edge frontends often requires additional development, as not everything is fully covered out of the box.

Liferay's strength is very evident in integrations, but this also means that integration projects must be planned and executed cleanly. In complex system landscapes, this can initially lead to higher effort.

However, from our perspective, these points are manageable. With the right experience, clear architectural principles, and a structured approach, the advantages of Liferay can be utilized very specifically and the mentioned challenges can be well addressed.

Low-code platform with amazing out-of-the-box features such as commerce, objects, and headless APIs. Even a non-technical person can build pages using simple drag-and-drop and standard configurations, with nothing to code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Important issue is search. If we have lakhs of entries in the objects, searching can take too much time, and sometimes the search doesn’t work properly either.

Another important Whenever we use custom development with client extensions in Node.js and React.js, the server sometimes can’t handle that much load and goes down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Performance is higher with inline Content management. headless API is useful to integrate data with cross platform. integration of workflow to manage publishing. features for managing data and actions through objects.
