(1-25 of 43)The platform to freely and easily scale Digital Experiences.

- Highly optimized pipelines and more for Drupal.
- Simpler approach to capacity management.
FLEXspace.org Appreciates 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.
Acquia Products and Services Review
- Low code, no code ability for business teams to build and maintain their own basic sites and content
- Enables us to have a single source of truth for all our digital assets via the DAM, manage and distribute them across the enterprise and to other third party partner applications
- Allow for rapid creation, spin up, publishing of critical digital content without releases, both intranet, and internet
- Acquia platform and its operational support is outstanding, extremely reliable
- We like the DAM but it needs improvements in its availability of APIs and plug in integrations. ex. the Brightcove plugin does not support 508c asset accessory files, the DAM does, our understanding is there is no API access to the asset aux files.
An agency look at Acquia DXP
We've used Acquia Site Studio together with Acquia Cloud Site Factory to achieve these goals. This combo lead us develop all websites in a record time, allowing our customer to launch them before summer.
- Source Code Management
- Deploy pipelines
- User management
- Hosting plans fit for smaller websites
On websites that don't have this purpose, the Acquia Cloud Platform hosting plans are a better fit.
Cloud Platform Review
- Git Management
- Cloud Hosting
- Development Enviroments
- Help docs need updating
- Code/Database/Files deployment
- Database backups
- Version control interface
- Ability to access application files within UI
Easy, Fast, Scalable: Thank You Acquia
- Environment Management
- SOLR Service Integration with Drupal
- Easy publishing via webhooks or drag-n-drop
- UI is pretty easy to navigate, but could be updated
Making development and deployment easy
- Code deployment
- Sending emails
- Managing SSL certificates
- Database backups
- Team management
- Acquia migrate accelerate could be improved
- Some documentation is hard to find
- Adding more Hints in the GUI could help find documentation faster
Would not recommend for small teams who do not utilise a VCS solution and do not need multiple environment.
- Application Management
- Content Management
- Built-in security
- Customer support
- View application source code directly in the portal (e.g. Modules, configuration files, etc.) similar to GiHub.
- Easy to manage deployment and automatic backups
- Great support team that is happy to help on any issue specially on critical issues
- Regular updates about sites and service on Acquia during maintenance
- Account manager support to always make sure how the site is performing
- The Acquia personalization does not have clear documentation, It is a bit difficult to find what you are looking for in the documentation
- The product should have a sandbox account for developers to learn and recommend it to their customers
- Site studio a has very less option to customise, as we came across few scenarios where we needed to alter the behaviour of site studio component but could not find any documentation about it.
I would say for small sites it may not be useful to use such a vast eco system of tools.
Acquia is a great partner for hosting and supporting Drupal-based websites and experiences!
- Administering SSL certificates.
- Backing-up databases.
- Scheduling jobs.
- Admin UI reporting details on visits and views.
- Better transparency into database and file storage and optimizing each.
- Monitoring and alerting (new relic integration is nice, but native capabilities would be great).
Nearly Turn-key, out-of-the box solution
- I am very impressed with CloudIDE that allows to install and manage Drupal codebase without installing it on my local machine. Very convenient!
- I am also impressed with Acquia cloud infrastructure that is provisioned and comes equipped with CI/CD pipelines out of the box.
- Acquia DAM (Document Management) System is also very impressive. I love that basic solutions come pre-configured and ready to go out of the box.
- Knowledgeable support is also very impressive with Acquia.
- Some of the documentation on using new features feels a bit scattered with some obvious questions not readily answered in the documentation at times. But Acquia Support usually fills this gap pretty quickly.

Acquia Digital Experience Platform: A Game Changer for Personalized Customer Engagement
- content editing/updating
- trendy website design
- ease of use
- user management
- advanced web features (such as parallax scrolling)
- spam email filtering in forms
- live edit previews
Acquia DXP > Solid with room for growth
- Single, easy to use online dashboard to manage the applications.
- Easy to use drag and drop code deployment workflow within the platform.
- Simple support ticketing process allowing quick access to support and Technical Account Manager (TAM) resources.
- The monitoring report capabilities are still quite restrictive. Uptime and historical logs could be presented in a reporting structure in the dashboard. This would make the dashboard a single source of truth.
- Simpler SSL cert upload process. Instead of extracting the keys maybe a simple file upload process could work.
The NextGen thing to experience digital freedom - Acquia DXP
- Architecting and managing multisite multilingual environment
- CMS experience at ultimate level
- Cutting edge CDN
- Devops Pipeline build to speed up the CI/CD workflow
- CDN availability in Mainland China region
- More Customer friendly offering on Headless Architecture
My Acquia Digital Experience
- Multi site spinup using profile
- Inbuild cache mechanisam
- Neat user experience
- ACSF runtime system configuration not configurable
- Auto backup have no additional options
- stage up site is not there
Great Drupal-based Platform for Website Management!
- Page builder with high flexibility
- Strong Deployment Workflow
- All in one CMS
- Easier database SQL queries
- Better updates regarding Transport Layer Security (TLS)
- Allow redirects by keeping UTM in the URLs
with great complexity comes great complexity
- the site is powerful
- you can get very granular with configuration and content
- layout is very simple to execute, but it doesn't look simple on the front. it's simple to execute complicated things
- almost endlessly customizable with modules
- the support portal can be hit and miss. sometimes there are very helpful people who get back to you in a timely manner, but more often there's a lot of lag time for the ticket to get picked up and in between responses, which can also be less than helpful.
- it seems like the different departments within acquia (support, management, build teams) don't communicate with each other.
- because features are so dense and granular, sometimes the workflow or how they are connected can be really complex to access.
Great for large, complex sites like ours
- Low Down Time
- Excellent Tech Support People
- Good administrative interface
- They replaced Acquia Dev Desktop with Acquia Cloud IDE which doesn't let you set up as many instances of Drupal.
- Dependable Update
- Knowledgeable Customer Service
- Functionality seems designed for larger enterprise organizations
- Interfacing tools are sometimes more complex then similar cloud hosted services such as Azure or AWS
Acquia delivers flexibility at scale
- Easy component framework for drag and drop editing capabilities to accelerate build
- Centralized management of many sites from a single codebase
- HIPAA compliant hosting
- Digital Asset Management
- Personalizing solution is only rules based, does not have ML or AI yet
- Would love to see richer analytics
- Low-code ideas are challenging in production at scale
Review for Acquia Digital Experience products
- Exclusive Cloud solution for Drupal CMS
- Acquia Campaign Studio - Powerful Campaign tool
- Powerful cloud for factory model website building
- Autoscaling feature is missing in the current Cloud platform in EU region.
- More external tools can be integrated with Campaign Studio
- Ample and intuitive content editing capabilities
- Flexibility to change content schema on the fly
- Robust cloud platform minimizing management overhead
- The add on products still have some growing to be truly cohesive
- SiteFactory and ContentHub work well for certain use cases but flexibility outside of that is limited
