Liferay Digital Experience Platform (DXP) vs. SAP Build

Liferay Portal is a framework which comes with a fine grained security/permission model, (Web) Content Management, Authentication and Authorization, outbox portlets with different features to manage content or users. So if any business application has below questions then I can recommend not to use Liferay as a platform.

• Application is big but not content or user driven.
• Application with few static contents.
• Application with batch transactions(DB) i.e. insert , update db records in batch.
• Application with ERP capabilities.
• Application with Big Data support.

SAP Build is a strong and reliable partner with a rich FAQ and consulting power. New features make sense and are easy to distribute within the team and to end users. The community is nice, and there are many discussions on product development, shared solutions, and productivity improvements. UI is also one of the strongest points.

• Comparing to other RPA Tools, SAP Build automation lacks enough user guidance.

The SAP Build Apps is definitely getting better, however it is still not as easy to use and complete as some other solutions. This makes it a bit harder to use for Functional Consultants for example. SAP Build Process automation on the other hand is so easy, that everybody can build processes in it.

There are, for example, great blog writings about automation cases and examples. The studio version is updated often. There are also useful OpenSAP online courses.

Liferay Digital Experience Platform (DXP) feels more professional than other similar products I tried or used. With this, I mainly mean the look or aspect when you are editing, setting or configuring anything in the platform, wether you are setting users, roles, creating new pages, adding components to them, or even configuring server or instance related configurations.

SAP Build stacks up well against the others in terms of what our business needs in order to succeed. It's more of a necessity than the others, but we keep them in mind as we utilize SAP Build. SAP Build's fluidity is great, but it could also be due to our lead user of the softwarre.
