Chose Acquia Digital Experience Platform
Frankly, I think it was just good luck that we had a developer who trusted the platform and recommended we use it!
Chose Acquia Digital Experience Platform
Much easier, less costly, and more value for the money. The support for the Acquia tools platform and operation are outstanding. Acquia has been a partner rather than a vendor.
Chose Acquia Digital Experience Platform
Acquia Digital Experience Platform provides all the above features incorporated in your package.
Chose Acquia Digital Experience Platform
Acquia coupled with their easier interface and 24 x 7 customer service can outweigh its competitors anytime.
Acquia provides a full end to end solution for Drupal websites.
Chose Acquia Digital Experience Platform
Honestly, Pantheon are a great provider too and momentum has a large amount to do with our retention here.
Chose Acquia Digital Experience Platform
We chose Acquia for a much better UI that gave non-analytical marketers and easy to use tool where they could create their own reports. The campaign side of things also had an easier to use UI as well, that made the targeting of audiences much easier.
Chose Acquia Digital Experience Platform
Very convenient because it's a suite of products built to work together and Drupal is open-source. The AWS products are very similar, but I really appreciate the Cloud IDE.
Chose Acquia Digital Experience Platform
Platform.sh is cheap and relatively easy to configure. The challenge they have when it comes to competing with Acquia is that they aren't a Drupal centric service, and don't have the same bench of Drupal products to offer, and don't have turnkey Drupal pipelines and support …
Chose Acquia Digital Experience Platform
we have used Pantheon in the past for some use cases but now we prefer Acquia over it the reason being the availability of different products to allow us to provide a complete digital experience. A product like a site factory, Acquia personalization, site studio, etc has really …
Chose Acquia Digital Experience Platform
Drupal is Wordpress on crack. And using Acquia Digital Experience Platform is like using a managed Wordpress site: Most of the installation and maintenance is done for you.
Chose Acquia Digital Experience Platform
We stay with Acquia because they offer managed updates to Drupal core. Not everyone does. And, they are experts in supporting Drupal. They can often get a little closer to the developer side of things than other companies. Prices and support are similar for similar services …
Chose Acquia Digital Experience Platform
The customer selected Acquia since it had a better support for the US based laws (eg the PCI compliance).
Chose Acquia Digital Experience Platform
The flexibility aspect of Acquia Site Studio is unmatched and WordPress does not provide it on a large scale. The ability to perform bulk operations and security are also the factors in favour of Acquia Digital Experience Platform as compared to WordPress. They also offer …
Chose Acquia Digital Experience Platform
Although Acquia Digital Experience Platform is an Enterprise solution like the others, it stands from competition because it relies on Drupal's Open Source community and is one of the first Cloud-native solutions so they're building on experience.
Chose Acquia Digital Experience Platform
Acquia is the go-to platform for hosting drupal sites.
Chose Acquia Digital Experience Platform
We decided to switch as Acquia/Drupal looked to have a better library of 'off the shelf' modules that could easily be integrated into the platform. The hosting and CDN options were comparable however I was personally happier with Acquia's close relationship with Cloudflare.
Chose Acquia Digital Experience Platform
Acquia Cloud is more of a hands-off approach to Drupal hosting - get the code on the server and that's basically it. AWS on the other hand requires more specialized server and networking knowledge to support a site. Our company wants to focus on content deliver and not on being …
Chose Acquia Digital Experience Platform
I'm still evaluating.
Chose Acquia Digital Experience Platform
Can't compare apples to grapes. But in terms of "Drupal specific" hosting at enterprise level as a PAAS solution I think Acquia is the only one doing it at this scale.
Chose Acquia Digital Experience Platform
Actually, Acquia Digital Experience Platform did not stack up against them, rather it was a great combination to implementing and configuring Cloudflare, the next generation Content Delivery Network (CDN) and different caching Architecture to embed with the Drupal Platform such …
Chose Acquia Digital Experience Platform
We had some limitations with another provider: for example, multisite was not possible. We did not encounter any particular constraints with Acquia Cloud.
Chose Acquia Digital Experience Platform
Compared to other products used, Acquia Digital Experience Platform offers a good balance between configuration flexibility and hosting implementation. Some platforms provide a similar service where it takes away the need to build the hosting yourself, however, they don't allow …
Chose Acquia Digital Experience Platform
Compared to the Adobe product, Acquia is 10 points ahead in flexibility and ease of deployment, and site support.

Acquia
It made it super easy to upgrade 300+ Drupal sites to the latest major version in 12 weeks, end to end. It is easy to deploy legal changes and updates to components at scale. Turnkey service to deploy new environments and to clone sites. There are no ecosystem lock-in principles for Customer service/success services and professional services for new approaches.

Pros
Acquia
  • It's fast, no lag time
  • Exceptionally good support. When there's a problem, you reach out to your account manager who either fixes the issue or gets you to the right person. We've had no downtime.
  • Platform is very accessible to those who know how to manage the back end software.

Cons
Acquia
  • Support responds pretty quickly to critical tickets, but they can be slow to respond on non-urgent items. Some of what we experienced may have been related to a newer ticketing system recently implemented.
  • Standard support covers business days/hours but only critical support is available outside those times. We typically schedule our website updates for the weekend or "off" hours when only critical support is available.

We're moving away from Drupal as a platform. Drupal 8 and 9 were simply too overburdened and difficult to maintain compared to other offerings. PHP seems like a dying language so we are currently in the process of migrating all of our Drupal 7 functionality and custom modules to a Python/Django/Wagtail platform. This doesn't mean Acquia isn't a great service, they are professional and top-knotch, but the only way we'd say with them is if I didn't complete the migration.

Every time we have had an issue, Acquia support has responded promptly and worked with us as a team to solve the problem. The Acquia support team is global and we have literally had interactions with all of their support offices, yet the experience has been the same - top notch

Scalability
Acquia
The DXP tools can handle millions of requests and can scale automatically to fit your needs. We have clients that use only part of the DXP tools and have a small usage, but even in these cases they see great value in using tools like personalization and CDP.
