Since we launched the new LumApps website this year, we're using the Acquia Digital Experience Platform to manage and improve our website CMS: Drupal. We switched from WordPress to Drupal/Acquia in order to build a stronger CMS, for lead generation, but also on a daily basis use for all the contributors.
  • Page builder with high flexibility
  • Strong Deployment Workflow
  • All in one CMS
Cons
  • Easier database SQL queries
  • Better updates regarding Transport Layer Security (TLS)
  • Allow redirects by keeping UTM in the URLs
Acquia Digital Experience Platform is a very strong tool managed by a strong team. It helps to get highly quality features but as it's not open source, there's sometimes a lack of flexibility to implement custom needs. (In a way, that is normal).

Acquia Digital Experience Platform is a Good Fit for Application Management

We use the Acquia Digital Experience Platform to develop, manage, and maintain our main Drupal websites. We use it for deploying code updates, backing up databases and files, as well as managing domains and server configuration. Our business problems are mostly that of making sure our websites are secure and properly protected, as we handle a large amount of personal data. Also, a significant number of users depend on and interact with these applications, and they need to perform well and be very accessible.
  • Code/Database/Files deployment
  • Database backups
  • Version control interface
Cons
  • Ability to access application files within UI
Pulling applications down to my local machine via the Lando Acquia recipe. It is very intuitive and straightforward. When it is time to push changes up to the Acquia Digital Experience Cloud, I like being able to switch code branches and tags via the interface, where they can be restored to previous versions just as quickly.

Acquia's cloud/digital experience platform has provided us scalable hosting, on-demand development environments, continuous integration and deployment tools as well as knowledgeable support. Their hosting expertise empowers our team to focus on application development and has allowed us to continuously improve our product offerings. Their technical account management team has been invaluable in offering us insight into our stack and proactive about improvements.
  • User interface design
  • Technical account management
  • Automation
Cons
  • [The] CI/CD tools are basic and in need of modernization.
With its Node.js hosting, Acquia Digital Experience Platform stands out particularly for use with decoupled Drupal applications.

We use the Acquia Digital Experience Platform across our whole global organization. It enables and supports our multi-site set up allowing us to share a codebase and resources. This streamlines [the] governance and product management of our digital platform. Since moving onto Acquia, we've reduced the number of different websites and systems in use.
  • Reliable hosting
  • Technology to support complex website
  • 24/7 support
Cons
  • Drupal developers working on Acquia [Digital Experience] need to learn how it works.
  • Systems can be complex.
  • Support can be limited in what they assist with.
  • Account management can be patchy.
Acquia Digital Experience Platform is well suited for organizations with complex digital needs. It is ideal for medium to large global organizations that have multiple websites and microsites. They have a range of technology solutions for different needs and levels of digital maturity. You can scale up and down based on what you need and budget.

This originally started being used primarily in marketing but is now used in our careers and community digital landscape. The platform allows us to focus on the content and design specifics and leave the technical platform administration to the Acquia Support team.
  • 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.
Cons
  • 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.
For code deployment purposes their [Acquia Digital Experience Platform] drag and drop feature is a really useful tool. Domain management is easy to use (if you have multiple domain records that you require to manage). The Cloud Edge and WAF subscription pays for itself very quickly and allows for granular management of firewall rules. You can now manage multiple SSL certs in a single application. This is a really positive addition. If you require post-event triage the platform is not quite ready for this yet. You can still access data but you will need dev[elopers'] resources to extract the logs directly from the server(s).
