Alfresco has very powerful Document Management and WCM. also Alfresco is powerful in Workflow . you can apply Rules and many other things to work out on Documents.

Where as Liferay has Powerful portal platform compared to Alfresco.

If you need to develop a Portal system with heavy/powerful CMS then you can use integration of Liferay (as portal platform) and Alfresco (as backend CMS)
