Find out in this report how the two Web Content Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We chose Liferay because it is open-source and that we can make any number of users apply, register into the system and use the system, as opposed to other solutions where the cost is based on user licenses. This is one of the most attractive features."
"The integration capabilities of the product are super easy to use."
"I think that it could be interesting to expand the eCommerce capabilities to the B2C sector."
"The look and feel and the user interface are great."
"Manageability is very good and probably the most valuable part of a tool of this type. There is a little more of a learning curve than you have with a simple tool, but a business user can learn to manage the system as an administrator very easily."
"The solution is easy to install."
"The web/mobile/portal integration was one of the features that we found most valuable, primarily because it reduced our development time."
"It allows us to arrange and develop new ideas, then incorporate them into the portal. We can create a one stop information center, so people can access the information from one window."
"The online editing capabilities, file sharing, auditing, information security, ease of solution management, and the easy user adaptation to the platform are the most valuable features."
"Helps with document collaboration and workflow."
"It has an easy to distribute administration capability, and can also scale to meet a large number of future needs."
"The product provides flexibility in collaboration."
"Information is much more readily available."
"No code and low code, scalable, and stable collaboration platform. Straightforward to set up. Its support system is good and offers fast issue resolution."
"The access control is definitely a good feature. We also appreciate the improvements they've made to the online applications, where multiple users can work on the same documents simultaneously. Everything syncs automatically."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily build intranet sites for communicating within teams, storing documentation, product information, pricing policies, updates on product infrastructure, and other related news."
"It could be improved in terms of adding filters to some of the rules. Therefore, you can retain how long a document would need to stay in an archive."
"The plugins should be more affordable."
"It could have better built-in integration with a wider variety of extensions out-of-the-box."
"The documentation provided needs to be more detailed. It's sometimes hard to develop things because the documentation is so sparse."
"The integration and configuration need to be simplified."
"Social area and capabilities need improvement."
"We'd like to be able to upload from MS Excel to deploy tasks and use drop-down lists to collect further information."
"The workflow engine cannot support the business needs."
"No good process to import emails from several users into a single comprehensive SP repository."
"Search can be improved a lot because we are always trying to compare it with Google Search. Beyond that, it would be helpful to tag the documents."
"The company also needs to make sure that their policies are dictating how information is stored and used, instead of letting SharePoint take control."
"There are some limitations on storage."
"The areas of this solution that need improvement are the relationships between lists, cross-site web parts, and page-building tools."
