We benefit from Acquia DxP and professional services to deploy at speed and run simplified operations at scale for hundreds of our consumer product digital experiences. It makes operations, maintenance, and upgrades easy while delivering superior, accessible, and high-performing experiences. We really enjoy the flexibility and automatization principles of the multi-sites factory to focus on experience, content, and conversions.

We launched FLEXspace.org on the Acquia Platform on the recommendation of our developer. FLEXspace is a complex portal where each "member" is also a mini-administrator, uploading exemplars of different types of technology enabled education spaces. When the version of Drupal reached end of life, our new developer KWALL.com already had a good relationship with Acquia, and the transition has been very smooth with very results! We're anxious to launch the new portal in the coming weeks.

We use Acquia to host our sites. We have been using it in my current organisation for the past 3 years. Site factory and site studio or cohesion are some of the products that we use. Site factory helps in spinning up new sites, cloning existing sites, backing them up and reverting backups.
Good thing about site studio is that it provides an intuitive component builder that non Drupal technical individuals can really get started with when creating new sites. Creating components are just like filling form data which makes this process convenient for many non technical users.

In this project we have a big challenge. Deliver 3 websites in a short time while keeping the ability for non technical content editors to create new pages using pre configured components.

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.

We use it for hosting our Drupal site, helping to manage different development environments. Also use it for managing databases and Git repositories making it easy to manage everything. So far there has been a learning curve for me but everything is starting to come together. Seems pretty simple and easy to manage once you get to know everything.

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.

We host sensitive private data for schools. It needs to be private and it needs to be reliable. The data also needs to be on Australian servers. We use their lowest tier of hosting/support to conserve spend, but the services have been provided well, as has the tech support, despite phone not being an option.

We have been using the Acquia platform for all our customer website projects for the last 12 years. Our projects are large, complex, busy websites for demanding customers. The platform makes our development and operating work easy. The platform is secure, and their support team is prompt and cooperative. That helps.

The cloud IDE is set up with tooling, folder structure, and browser-based so it's ready quickly and always available. The cloud platform makes managing your environments simple and clean without worrying about the underlying architecture. The products offered by Acquia, as a whole, are robust and we are currently only realizing a fraction of our potential, but we are working towards implementing the CI/CD and Remote Administration features to even further ease the demand on our technical team.

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).

I use Acquia cloud platform for multiple Drupal clients. There isn't a comparable service provider that exists for soup to nuts Drupal development, pipeline, hosting and technical support. The majority of my clients are large University, State and Federal government entities, requiring 99%+ uptime, and this is never a concern with Acquia. All issues are handled promptly, and deployment pipelines run like clockwork.

We used the Acquia Cloud Platform to build our whole website. The cloud platform along with Site Studio helps developers to use efficient methods to build, code and implement business logics. The customization that can be offered with the help of Site Studio to the content authors/business user is far greater than what other CMS's provide. Since, the customization offered is higher the process of deploying new content changes becomes exponentially smoother. I believe this helps the business user's to not rely on developers to implement content and layout related changes, since everything is implemented on the website in a component-based approach.

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.

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

Our Acquia Cloud Platform and Cloud IDE services enable us to host, manage, develop, test, and deploy our public and intranet portal applications in a centralized, fast and secure way. Acquia Cloud coupled with an excellent professional support, enables our institution to establish a great web presence to the general public and to our internal users.

We use Acquia cloud for hosting drupal sites of small to large sizes. We use other products like site studio for design and personalization for building a personalized experience for users. Acquia cloud provides an easy interface for managing the sites from deployment to taking backup and it saves lots of time for the team to focus on the actual work.

If you use Drupal as your CMS, Acquia makes a lot of sense as a hosting partner. Acquia Support, Technical Account Management (TAM) teams, and Acquia Professional Services all understand Drupal, in addition to Acquia. Also, Acquia has a network of Drupal development partners and introduced us to a great partner. We leverage Acquia for hosting 2 websites, one which is very simple and one that is quite complex. The simple website can be maintained fairly automatically through Acquia's RA (Remote Administration) branch, which handles Drupal core module updates, security patches, and some other updates seamlessly. We use a 3-tiered environment and GitHub with the more complex site and Acquia provides the tools and support to ensure that everything is working well. I do wish that their admin UI had a little more detail on visits and views and better reporting on database and file storage, but requests to support and meetings with our Account Manager fill these gaps.

We host a website for one of our recently acquired subsidiaries on the Acquia platform. We inherited the website and since we have no internal Drupal expertise, we wanted to continuing hosting with a company that specialized in Drupal websites. We depend on Acquia to keep the server up-to-date in terms of OS and Drupal specific core and security patches.

We are using it for our official website. The kind of content management and authoring features they offer is very efficient. Flexibility is the primary advantage of the tools offered by Acquia Digital Experience Platform. Correct documentation and simple UI helps a lot for a new comer to adapt to the environment. The CI/CD pipelines help in quick and easy deployment which in turn lessens the load on developers.
