Acquia is our SASS solution for Drupal 7 powered websites, landing pages and webtools. Our prospect facing website and internal facing websites both utilize the Drupal 7 framework that Acquia hosts. In addition our SEM efforts, RFI forms and other marketing communication is on the platform. Acquia has performed consistently well.
  • Dependable Update
  • Knowledgeable Customer Service
Cons
  • Functionality seems designed for larger enterprise organizations
  • Interfacing tools are sometimes more complex then similar cloud hosted services such as Azure or AWS
Acquia has a very large offering of services that cater to larger enterprise clients. Smaller single-domain clients like our website seem like a loose fit for what Acquia provides.

Service has gone downhill

Acquia Platform is used to hosts our website, which in addition to a mobile app, is how we deliver our services.
  • Drupal knowledge.
  • Good Development tools for code and environment management.
Cons
  • Monitoring is nonexistent. You need to tell them if/when your site goes down.
  • During an outage the service you get varies from OK to really poor; seems to depend on the resource assign.d
  • Pricing is impossible to understand, even their sales reps can't tell you.
Lately, their lack of support and monitoring has soured me on the platform. After all, if you can't count on them during a crisis you need to consider other options.

We use Acquia's Digital Experience Platform across many initiatives, incorporating it both for client and internal projects. Uses vary from automated drip campaigns, to site builds and maintenance to automated content alerts. Our internal use ranges from both the digital to the internal marketing team for our client communications. Client use is foundational as we use Acquia Digital Experience-hosted Drupal sites for our customers as their hub and build additional services off of that.
  • Gives a lot of functional flexibility at a reasonable entry/price point.
  • Allows for unlimited customization, is very flexible, and gives enough options to cover almost any situation.
  • Allows for users from all types of backgrounds (tech, non tech) to interact and use the products.
Cons
  • Campaign studio reporting could be a lot better.
  • Cloud IDE can take some getting used to, also having to remove and recreate sites every time you need to use a different site is an issue in an agency model.
If you have the staff and resources to get the builds up and running then this [Acquia Digital Experience Platform] is a fantastic solution. If you are looking for something very static, that will not need much functionality, nor change content often, then it likely [provides] more [of a] solution than you need. Definitely a top offering for mid-level to enterprise-level solutions.

We use a number of Acquia products and services across our enterprise. We power over 40 core sites and tools internet and intranet. We leverage the Acquia ecosystem, Drupal, site studio, DAM on ACSF and ACE stacks to build operate, enhance both websites and headless APIs which in turn power various BCBSMA portals.
  • 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
Cons
  • 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.
Well suited for constructing, enhancing, and operating mission critical websites with a modern UI that meets branding needs well. Able to have low code - no code content and site management with no to minimum development. Able to manage assets well and generally distribute them automatically to numerous digital properties. We are looking at creating a secure logged-in portal with our Acquia products

We are currently using it to provide our corporate website over the internet. It's used mainly by the marketing department, but it's also used to publish and manage different services and aspects for different departments: HR, partners, alliances, etc. Acquia [Digital Experience Platform] helps to manage one (or multiple) websites or applications built on top of Drupal. Acquia [Digital Experience Platform] allows me to have [three] different environments for managing the website: development, staging, and production. This can be helpful for managing a website with particular logic or defined publishing flow.
  • Development, staging, production
  • Built-in GIT flow
  • Drag & drop code deploy
  • Easy-to-use interface
Cons
  • Database access
  • Cloud IDE
  • The support
It's appropriate for a big company that wants to publish its website on the internet, and this website is built on top of Drupal. The publishing flow is great because you can have a preview of the website in the staging or development website before put[ting] it live. It doesn't provide support for other CMS, and this could be a problem. We use other CMS for other purposes that are better than Drupal, and we had to host it elsewhere.
