Barnard College chose the Acquia Cloud platform to host and support both our Drupal public and intranet site. We rely on Acquia to maintain a secure environment, perform updates to Drupal, and advise us in best practices. Our business case for selecting Acquia included the need for a scalable off-premise service that was immersed in the mission of effectively and efficiently offering Drupal as a web content management system.
  • Remote administration
  • Consultant services
  • Training and Professional Development
  • Community Outreach and Camaraderie
Cons
  • In all honestly, I haven't even scratched past the learning and support content Acquia has made available. I do not have any valid suggestions for improvement, at this time.
We have experienced a few seat changes at our institution that impacted who was supporting our public and intranet sites. Each change over resulted in the need to reach out to Acquia and request an overview of the remote administration process. Acquia responded each time, providing a thorough review and then personally following up to assure we were set. Each Acquia rep I have worked with has focused their attention to reviewing any issue at hand, provided additional resources & highlights, and suggested improvements. They truly are a solid partner in the delivery of a CMS.

We are use acquia to develop a solution for an Hospital, which requires a full redesign of their site, and we decided to use drupal as our core and acquia as the platform to launch it, I have to say that acquia's platform are easy and quick to implement, and the service they offered is really good, and I have to point that the service is good, technically talking, they sometimes took time to solve issues, but generally the experience was good, I recommend acquia as a partner if you use drupal as your core
  • Site studio is a good no-code solution
  • Acquia cloud is a must have if you need reliability and security
  • Their service is good
Cons
  • Site studio in it's newer versions has to check issues and provide faster feedback
  • Need more updated documentation
As I just have one experiencie with acquia, I have to say that is enough flexible for most cases that involves large setos of information, as corporate web sites and so on, not recommended for e-commerce platforms, as drupal doesn't have a feasible solution for this scope, and the current solutions don't meet enough requirements for this.

Easy deployment of Acquia.

I use it to host our main site. This is for hosting our internet presence and linking to other company-owned resources. Doing so allows us to right-size the operational requirements as well as enhance the offering to our clients.
  • Hosting
  • Building the right environment as per our needs.
  • Customer support and engagement.
Cons
  • Provide more training resources.
  • Certification would be good to have.
  • Monitoring updates.
I can offload the burden of maintaining the infrastructure required to run the site on-prem. Furthermore, the hosting of the environment is left to the team that knows how to completely manage the Drupal platform and ensure that the hosting environment is taking advance of the features of the platform.

We use Acquia Cloud as a hosting service and their supplied tools in our Continuous Integration pipeline in order to be able to manage and deploy code on different environments fast. The whole team can then focus their efforts on development rather than deployment. The code switch button allows the team to quickly switch between different VCS branches so they can test different features without the need of spinning up another environment.
  • Code deployment
  • Sending emails
  • Managing SSL certificates
  • Database backups
  • Team management
Cons
  • Acquia migrate accelerate could be improved
  • Some documentation is hard to find
  • Adding more Hints in the GUI could help find documentation faster
Hosting a Drupal website on fast and reliable servers when you have a whole team working concurrently on the project where you need to deploy code multiple times a day. Integration with Bitbucket pipelines works great and saves tons of time when reviewing code and merging branches.

Would not recommend for small teams who do not utilise a VCS solution and do not need multiple environment.

Easy, Fast, Scalable: Thank You Acquia

We use Acquia for a number of our clients which is dependent on the clients needs and what capabilities they require. For most use-cases, however, Acquia is the perfect fit. Our clients can trust the service and since my company has been working with them for so long we also have a partnership with Acquia.Some of the benefits are scalability, environment management, easy user management, simple backup services, easy cloud access via admin panel or via command line, and the included SOLR service (this is a huge plus for our clients).
  • Environment Management
  • SOLR Service Integration with Drupal
  • Easy publishing via webhooks or drag-n-drop
Cons
  • UI is pretty easy to navigate, but could be updated
Being a primarily Drupal developer, this service is amazing. So much of the integrations are ready to go out of the box. I have not hosted anything other than Drupal on there, but I have heard of some issues using other CMS platforms or front-end applications where things could be improved. It's not worth me going into detail as I would lean more onto a review where someone has direct experience in those areas.
