Liferay Portal is a free and open source enterprise portal software product. Distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License and optional commercial license.
There are many reasons to prove Why Liferay is better than others so here I mentioned few of them.
Reasons to love Liferay:
1.Liferay has the lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared to its competitors starting with its licensing costs. Downloading it and getting it running takes a matter of minutes. And the savings continue through development costs, operational costs, and training/support costs.
2.Second-to-none rich out-of-the-box (OOTB) functionality around core portal, content management, collaboration, social, mobile, security and more;
3.All portal products typically need extensions and/or additions to deliver requisite functionality – with Liferay you can simply do more within a specific budget.
4.Product innovation – leader in introducing new capabilities whether it be AJAX or friendly URLs or mobile or social
5.Improved business agility – it is lightweight in nature enabling you to get it running and configured quickly; its ease of use and management enable your IT and business users to configure, tailor, and develop custom functionality on Liferay to meet your business objectives.
6.Liferay’s hook and extension plugin model allow you to tailor product behaviour to your needs without rewriting from scratch and without creating upgrade hell (if done right). With most other portal vendors, if an OOTB feature meets 80% of your need, then getting the remaining 20% might be difficult and expensive, or worse, you may need to live with the limitations or recreate the functionality from scratch.
7. Liferay offers opportunities for product feature sponsorship to enable contributions back into the core product for key customizations – this allows you to offload the responsibility of maintaining and enhancing your custom features back to Liferay.
8. Liferay offers you a full choice of application servers, databases, and operating systems to run on, thereby allowing you to leverage your infrastructure and skills investment.
9. The Liferay community has experienced significant growth adding an average of 1300 members a month in 2011, reaching the strength of 56,000 members. Additionally, the community members are extremely active with increased contributions to forums, wiki posts, blogs, code contributions and activity in special projects teams. The community contributes greatly to the product functionality as well as product information/support.
