- Out-of-the-box Tools: Liferay Portal provides more out of the box portlets than any other portal on the market—Choose from over 60 to customize your work environment.
- Secure Single Sign On: Aggregate and access your content and applications in one place.
- Custom Fields: Administrators can customize, edit, add, and change user attributes directly from Liferay, without needing to modify their database.
- Rules Engine Integration: Advanced personalization via Drools allows for “contextual personalization”, the specification of content, functionality, and features based on a user’s location, activities, and their other self-defined profile attributes.
- Users, Organizations and Sites: Liferay users can be intuitively grouped into a hierarchy of “organizations” or cross-organizational “user groups,” providing flexibility and ease of administration.
- SOA Framework: Liferay Portal is developed using an open SOA strategy that makes it the choice of enterprises worldwide for enterprise application integration.
- User Personalization: Depending on what an administrator allows, users can personalize portal pages by adding, removing, positioning content or portlet attributes.
- Role Based Content Delivery: Portals allow multiple user types to access a single URL and access a unique page view depending on the users role, group, organization or personal preferences.
- Single-Click Configuration: A fast, responsive interface makes Liferay Portal extremely easy and enjoyable to use for everyone in your organization.
- Dynamic Drag & Drop: Liferay Portal was the first portal to offer this feature, allowing users to move different elements around in the portal by simply dragging and dropping them into place.
- Workflow Framework: Liferay Portal allows you to incorporate workflow into any of your own custom portlets by leveraging Liferay’s workflow APIs.
- User-Driven Workflow & Approval: Not only is there embedded workflow for content, Liferay Portal allows users to create their own workflow and define the number of approval paths based on their own unique business requirements and operational needs.
- Auditing & Performance Monitoring: To help administrators monitor the portal’s performance and better optimize resources, Liferay Portal gives administrators access to key performance statistics (hits/page, avg time/hit, max time per request, and more) for all portlets and portal pages.
- Working from your Desktop with Liferay: Working on both the Liferay Portal and your desktop becomes a seamless experience with Liferay Sync. Liferay Sync automatically syncs files from the document library to your local desktop.
- Search & Tagging: Tag web content, documents, message board threads and more to dynamically share important or interesting content with other portal users.
- Multi-language Support: International or multi-lingual organizations get out of the box support for 30+ languages.
