Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

Multiple people are using the platform across the development team, as well as key administrative users - but most importantly, each individual user is able to function as a mini-administrator on their site - creating their own sub-collections, searching by themes, pulling up information on demand that helps them with their roles. The stats may not be impressive to a commercial operation, but the membership is collectively hitting the site roughly 1M times a year.

We depend on Acquia platform, ecosystem, and hosting to be trouble free and have top performance. We perform load teating each year and as we rollout a new application. We have always either been able to scale manually or Acquia has scaled automatically our platform tiers. We have never had in 6 years a performance challenge.

Acquia platform as a service is really easy to work with. Coupled with their 24 x 7 customer support and inherent advantages of using Drupal sites with it the advantages outweigh its disadvantages. Other platforms supporting Drupal may provide some functionalities that are better, but if we take Acquia as a whole along with its customer support then as a package I would choose this anytime.

The DXP tools can handle millions of requests and can scale automatically to fit your needs. We have clients that use only part of the DXP tools and have a small usage, but even in these cases they see great value in using tools like personalization and CDP.

While purchased as a marketing tool, other analysis across the organization in departments such as real estate, merchandising and supply chain are able to gain insights not possible in their BI tools. This in addition to the customer behavior that marketing was able to share.

This happens to be one of the most important things for us. Being able to move between environments, ability to make those environments visible (or hidden) from the outside, and also being able to manage security for each of them. We believe this not only helps speed up other internal processes, but makes it easy for even the development team to manage those environments as needed.

Primarily because Site Factory makes scaling effortless. A university system with hundreds of websites using multiple mediums can be replaced in months, whereas this kind of system migration traditionally would take years to perform. Coupled with the off the shelf testing tools and pipeline configs, dev ops becomes trivial, regardless of deployment size.

The customization options available in Site Studio are extensive and user-friendly, which makes it easy for business users to make layout and content changes without requiring the help of developers. For instance, users can modify the website's layout, color scheme, and typography using a drag-and-drop interface. They can also add or remove components, such as images, videos, and forms, with ease.

The ability to make these changes without relying on developers means that businesses can make updates to their websites quickly and efficiently. This can be particularly useful for businesses that need to respond rapidly to changing market conditions or customer demands. By using Site Studio, businesses can ensure that their websites remain up-to-date and relevant, which can help to attract and retain customers over time.

Scalability wise, the platform maks it pretty easy to create a new site based on a current existing site so you don't start from scratch everythime. We were able to scale op to 200 sites for the same project with ease, making it super easy to taget different language based on domain.

In my experience, I think that acquia is so scalable, in a way we use enough environments to move code and information, and have enough flexibility to do such things as publish sites to the client quickly, and work at the same time improving our code without interruting current operations on the site

Acquia cloud is pretty scalable as in one of the scenarios we came across during the high traffic time Acquia support easily scaled the infrastructure requirements to support it which was really good helping us to be available during those times. Acquia personalization as well can cover a large range of use cases to deliver a personalized experience.

Scaling up hosting for a given site is very easy, but on the legacy cloud architecture, the file storage is combined across sites/applications in the non-prod environments and similarly in the production environments. I think the new Acquia Cloud Next platform is much more flexible, but we aren't on that yet.

Flexible CMS

Flexibility is the primary reason I would give it a 10 / 10. The business requires quick and flexible architecture to freely design the website as desired and Acquia Digital Experience Platform provides just that. Also, the developers get an easy and quick CI and CD which help them in focussing on the code rather than deployment.
