Pros

OpenSource: Liferay is open source portal framework so developers can easily extend or customize it for their organization or department based on their requirement.
OutOfBox: Liferay Portal is not only a portal platform. It also provides a 60+ applications and tools included in the form of portlets. These portlets are available out of the box or in the form of plugins.
MarketPlace: Liferay has it own market place (i.e app store) where developer or contributors are contributing their ideas (application) so community can use it freely (some are paid).
Enterprise-Ready Portal Solution: It is fully ready to support mission-critical, enterprise applications in an environment configured for multiple redundancies and 24/7 up-times.
High Availability and High Performance: Liferay Portal has been tested to support more than 3,000 concurrent transactions (33,000 simultaneous users) on a single 8-core application server, with mean login times under one second and maximum ½ throughput of 79+ logins per second. Liferay Portal has proven to handle millions of page views and over 1.3 million users.
Liferay Portal is also deployable to the Cloud and virtual server environments and ensures high availability and performance with: Hardware/Software Load Balancing, HTTP Failover, Session Replication
Distributed Cache using Lightweight Multicast Protocol
Terracotta, Oracle RAC, and other scalability solutions

Cons

Portal Security: It has good security model but in few areas it requires improvement.
Encrypt LDAP passwords on import
Log in should be via SSL by default
Upgrade/patch process should include an alert in the control panel
Add virus scan for uploaded files
Server Administration
Garbage Collector should be able to be scheduled to run from the control panel
Reindexing should be able to be scheduled from the control panel
Provide GUI to change the default Liferay favorite icon to any desired logo
LDAP mapping GUI to custom Liferay attributes
Configurations: Less configurations from properties files and provide more GUI to update from control panel.

Return on Investment

Liferay scales well both in terms of performance but also in terms of operational self-service and eases the burden on IT.
Compliance, Marketing and Client Engagement teams can create and modify content and submit it for approval. This results in lower operational costs in the areas of new private-label sites and maintenance of current sites because, prior to Liferay, site content management required expensive IT software engineering resources to implement compliance and marketing content changes.
