Pantheon was not built in a day
Pantheon is a lifesaver because it is one of the best SAAS platforms out there. The fact that it's so easy to build Wordpress websites makes it a must-have. It has an excellent CMS and is great for site management considering how much they take care of on their end. We don't have to worry about tweaking anything to adjust it for traffic or other factors, as it works itself out. Website development and maintenance is a breeze now because of all the options available.
- Hosting
- Multi-dev environments
- Support documentation is great
- Great CMS
- They could improve the tech support where the responses can be faster
- I can't really think of anything else.

The main advantages of Pantheon are the reserved development testing and live environment, which allows you to test the functionality of the code and cache clearing. I told about Pantheon to my close friend who has a company. He was actually looking for something just like Pantheon. He said that the transition from development to testing and living is easier, and with backup restore, he can be sure that his data is not lost.
- Scalable
- Reliable
- Managable
- Riskfree
- They should add more themes to be installed
- They should handle instant data
- Faster responses and should have more regions

Pantheon is a dependable platform that enables adaptability and the productive delivery of services.
Pantheon is our hub for reaching out to clients worldwide and promoting our products. Within our organization, we have established that it is a straightforward platform for marketers and developers to use to build high-quality websites. It's a full-service hosting platform that facilitates the administration of multiple sites. The dashboard mini-documentation and step-by-step guide are great, and regular backups are helpful. Writing the code in an introductory style without requiring advanced technical knowledge is possible. Pantheon software manages servers, so our products scale automatically. Because it is compatible with a wide variety of development settings, this SaaS provider is among the very best. This tool makes our website more efficient and secures each month; the servers are reliable during product launches.
- Enhances web content publishing.
- Scaling and managing websites is easy.
- It provides a user-friendly dashboard.
- Simple, fast, and responsible user interface.
- The initial steps can be challenging.
- Its online help and forum are lacking.

We used Pantheon as a devOps platform for a WordPress website running Buddypress and Learndash.
We also had a mobile app connected to the site.
The ability to have a platform with a staging site for testing before deploying was beneficial. It solved the problem of wasting time migrating sql databases manually or using plugins as one would typically have to do with WordPress normally.

Excellent performance, stable site
We use Pantheon to host our Drupal website. We have been on Pantheon for the past 4 years and before that were using Acquia. Both have fantastic support for Drupal, but Pantheon costs much less and provides a similar level of service.
- The dashboard is well designed and simple to use
- Provision of SSL certificates and automated management at no cost!!
- Cost is reasonable for a simple site
- Account management could be improved for multisite customers

Pantheon; great for those who want to forget about hosting
We are currently using it host our main website. As well, we are part of the Premier Pantheon Partner so our clients may decide to use Pantheon as their hosting system with preferential prices and better support. Currently, two of our clients have migrated to pantheon. Also, we use autopilot to keep our wordpress and drupal sites updated.
- autopilot flow works fine
- their support is incredibly fast and helpful
- For now, we have had no downtime issues
- Using live environment is a a little hard because the files cannot be modified via sftp nor git
- not having access via ssh is tricky for those who are not used to ftp/sftp
- autopilot instance have some issues with page builder's cache such as beaver builder
- it limits the use of know plugins such as updraft or wp-rocket
- Configuring a new project is easy, an existing one is kind of hard

Simplify your website deployment.
Using Pantheon for website deployment, it has all the features you need to build a professional, well-maintained website, and if you don't have the time, it also has great automation features to take care of the site for you!
- Website Deployment.
- Automation
- GIT Branching.
- Difficult for developers who are not familiar with GIT.
- More integrated support for some niche solutions (e.g. WordPress multisite).
- Allowing the ability to more easily clone or duplicate entire projects.

Simplifying Complex Needs
As we actively build and maintain websites for a large number of clients, we use Pantheon as a hosting option for the large majority of clients. In previous circumstances, we would be dealing with a smorgasbord of hosting platforms and server configurations, which becomes difficult to manage, difficult to replicate/resolve issues, and all-around tedious. Having everything under one roof has been instrumental to our success.
- Integrated GIT / versioning
- Tiered workflow for development and staging environments, for safe and rapid deployment
- Consistent server configurations across projects, for easy diagnoses and speedy IT support
- A little more control over features, e.g. htaccess, cron jobs, and general server configuration.
- More integrated support for some niche solutions (e.g. WordPress multisite).
- Allowing the ability to more easily clone or duplicate entire projects.
We utilize Pantheon mostly as a serverless CMS. We wanted an easily scalable solution for several of our sites with low overhead and the flexibility to increase usage if the need arose. Pantheon has met this need, while also providing an excellent platform to manage our company's agile workflows seamlessly.
- Support is excellent if you run into any issues
- The platform is fast with no lag time
- The solution is low-overhead (serverless!)
- The platform has trouble with large amounts of data hitting all at once.
- The trade-off to being serverless is that if there are issues, it is harder to investigate the issue.
- The platform itself is fast, however, adding video or streaming features to your site can cause lag

Slow Impersonal Support
I host my Drupal 8 site with Pantheon. I use Lando for local and Dev, Test, and Live on Pantheon. When it's working things are great. However, when I need to contact tech support it takes usually 30 to 60 minutes to get a conversation happening in live chat and there are often delays between responses. Creating a support ticket is even slower with responses happening sometimes the next day. My latest frustration is the worst so far in that it's been 19 days since I opened a ticket on the issue and it is still NOT resolved.
- Hosting
- Being Impersonal
- Responding Slow
- Faster Response Times
- Personal Interaction beyond chats with long delays between responses
- A little familiarity with Lando and Terminus working with Pantheon

Secure Server For Web
Pantheon is one of the best software I've used in my life. They made things very easy from the user's perspective as they have backup & branch creation and merging of code and migration of files is very easy. They provide a multi-dev work environment to main the code and website smoothly.
- Hosting
- Secure CMS
- 100% Best Monitoring

Pantheon Provides Speed and Peace of Mind
We are a customer and also recommend Pantheon to our clients. We've grown to become a Premium Pantheon Partner, managing 30 websites hosted there. Pantheon has unrivaled security, support, and ease of use with their Dev, Test, and Live environments. Those environments make it a breeze to update portions, try new looks, or just keep code up to date without experimenting on the public site.
- Usually respond to support tickets within minutes
- Site hosting speed is fantastic
- Upgrades to WordPress and plugins can be managed automatically
- Pricing structure has too large of a jump between Basic and Performance plans
- Have run into issues with prescribed WP updates not working through dashboard and having to do manually.
- Pantheon site dashboard occasionally is unavailable (the site is never affected though)

Easy to use platform for developers and designers.
I've been running a WordPress website for years with a few updates here and there. Recently I was researching a new host after the old one offered to no longer support WordPress. I was looking for something that could provide me with the best performance, ease of use, and uptime. I came across Serverless CMS and decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that their service was way faster and their support was incredibly responsive. I have to say, I'm a fan.
- Top-tier hosting services
- Almost 100% Uptime.
- Secure serverless CMS.
- Portfolio and resources management.
- Time-Consuming deployment process.
- Lack of study materials and documentation that help in setup.
- Frequent resetting of cache required for doing proper function.

Simple Website Management.
We've utilized Pantheon on our ERP programs and we are generating very resourceful performance reports via PAAS. The Pantheon Automation Server database works particularly well in displaying user reports from the WEB light Interface and the reports can be downloaded in PDF format for our analytics. It's doing a great job in hosting our six websites securely and flexibly as well.
- It is easy to initiate remote support for host users directly from Pantheon
- The document submodule displays all the documents we've entered on Pantheon and in their original formats
- It converts the financials files into XML files which save us the stress of copying forms and double work.
- Pantheon's online help and forum provide inadequate insights and it takes too long to get assistance from the help desk.
- Lando Dev misses out some data during rebuilds.
