Lower your TCO with a single subscription that provides a comprehensive set of capabilities to build, personalize, and test a wide range of digital experiences.

Reduce complexity with a platform built organically and designed to work seamlessly as one, eliminating the need to integrate separate products.

Avoid vendor lock-in if you want to keep using technologies you already own by swapping out native capabilities on an extremely flexible platform.

Everything You Need on One Platform

Using Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), a premium-priced offering in a suite of products, will typically require customers to pay more upfront and over time. That's because separate Adobe products may need to be bought to build different digital experiences or add new functionality. This may not include the added complexity and costs of integrating these different products, since many of these tools were not initially designed to work together.

As an alternative to AEM, our customers can leverage all of Liferay DXP's out-of-the-box capabilities to build multiple solutions with commerce, personalization, content, analytics, and low-code features, without having to pay more.

With these native capabilities, you can:

Create and evolve a wide range of digital experiences, such as public websites, intranets, customer, citizen, and partner portals. For authenticated use cases, Liferay ranks ahead of Adobe.
Add digital commerce and customer self-service to your websites to support the full customer journey.

No Vendor Lock-In & Flexible Deployment Options

AEM is proprietary software that is part of the Adobe Experience Cloud (AEC) product suite. As such, it can be difficult to swap out different tools with lower-cost alternatives or technologies you already own and would rather use instead.

If you want to keep using the technologies you already have, you're able to do so with Liferay DXP. While you do get access to our native capabilities, you also get the flexibility to easily integrate different technologies with a composable, open-source platform.

Liferay DXP also offers flexible deployment options, including SaaS, PaaS, and self-hosted.

A major telecom provider dealt with challenges like integration complexity, authentication difficulties, and vendor lock-in while implementing AEM. Now, this company has turned to Liferay DXP, saying, "We were thrilled with how easy it was to integrate third-party systems. Liferay's flexibility made the process seamless... Creating new pages was a breeze too. The interface was so intuitive, and we could quickly add, edit, and customize pages to fit our needs perfectly.”

Support the Entire Customer Journey

With out-of-the-box features to create and manage both anonymous and authenticated experiences, Liferay is a great choice when you want to move beyond a simple static site and expand the experience to include digital commerce and customer service, in order to support the full customer journey.

And when it comes to creating digital experiences for your business partners, dealers, distributors, or employees, Liferay ranks ahead of Adobe for B2B and B2E use cases. You can even design sites that empower partners, dealers, and employees to help customers find information, resolve issues, and get the most of your products and services.
