Considered Both Products	Pantheon Tyler Brown Cifu Shuster Chief Engineer Chose Pantheon Acquia was terrible. We use DigitalOcean for some all-purpose computing needs and Platform.sh for an application that does more computing and high-throughput processing where we do not want page views (API calls) to count against our usage.

Incentivized Helpful? Todd Underwood Interactive Director Chose Pantheon GoDaddy can't compete with Pantheon's speed, support, and backed tools.

Quratulain Habib, PMP Partner / Director / Head of Projects Chose Pantheon A lot of the other providers on this list are different from each other with very different target audiences.

CW Caleb Wiedel Web Developer Chose Pantheon Pantheon is great because I can do everything and anything needed as a developer to get my clients satisfied.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Pantheon Pantheon is excellent for medium-large websites that require high availability and a managed workflow. It would be inappropriate for small websites because of the cost or for situations where more control of the environment is appropriate. We find it useful because we rarely do anything outside of the Drupal application. Incentivized Tyler Brown Cifu Shuster Chief Engineer Read full review
Pros	Pantheon Effective use of our codebase deployment and implementation. The dashboard functionality and general stability and security are excellent. The server is quite consistent, and if you need assistance from the support team, they are very quick to respond. Automatic updates let me ensure that my customers have safe websites without increasing my own expense. The team offers excellent assistance and help for chat. Incentivized Ali shabaz Assistant Project Manager Read full review
Cons	Pantheon Pricing structure has too large of a jump between Basic and Performance plans Have run into issues with prescribed WP updates not working through dashboard and having to do manually. Pantheon site dashboard occasionally is unavailable (the site is never affected though) Incentivized Todd Underwood Interactive Director Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Pantheon The environment is stable and we have not had any issues/downtime. The annual cost is reasonable. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Pantheon Pantheon is an easy system, especially to the users with previous experience with other similar platform and the interface is clear enough to easily understand how things operates. On the Cloud deployment everything also works effectively and the technical team from Pantheon community are very helpful on providing the necessary assistant to their customers. Incentivized Arianna Thomas Project Engineer Read full review
Support Rating	Pantheon Even tier 1 Pantheon chat and ticket support are knowledgeable, competent, and useful. They routinely understand and promptly resolve urgent, complex, and/or unusual issues that other hosts need to escalate to tier 2 or tier 3 support personnel. I honestly can't think of a truly negative or disappointing support experience in the years I've used Pantheon hosting for client websites. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Implementation Rating	Pantheon Once the environments were up and running, the implementation was easy to synchronize with latest data prior to switchover. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Pantheon Although it may seem a good fit for a company that needs extra control over the deployment process and development process, for a firm that is mainly concentrating on SEO, it would be an overkill. Pantheon provides that sweet automation that allows us to shed some weight on development and focus on our business activities. Incentivized Lankit Patel AWS Developer \| Laravel Developer Read full review
Return on Investment	Pantheon Pantheon allows ordinary sites to excel esp if there is consistent development going on behind the scenes. Website management is super easy and the hosting fee gets paid off as you save on developer hours. Expensive for those who are not consistently developing on the platform, there are other options out there at better price points.
