Overall Satisfaction with Acquia Digital Experience Platform

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.

Pros

  • Quick and easy deployment
  • Up to date and clear documentation
  • Great customer support

Cons

  • There are bugs in Site Studio when developing locally
  • Drush 11 is not yet supported on ACP
  • Video tutorials for BLT from scratch
  • Better customer tracking
  • Content moderation workflows
  • Flexible architecture
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.
The flexibility aspect of Acquia Site Studio is unmatched and WordPress does not provide it on a large scale. The ability to perform bulk operations and security are also the factors in favour of Acquia Digital Experience Platform as compared to WordPress. They also offer building custom components, reusable templates and helpers which ease the tasks of developer.

Would you buy Acquia Digital Experience Platform again?

Yes

It is well suited for a website with more flexibility requirements. It also helps if one has an inexperienced / no Integration / CI / CD team. It is also helpful for quick deployments. A website can be easily hosted very quickly using Acquia Digital Experience Platform's tools. It is not suitable for businesses having low flexibility requirements or if content is not updated regularly.
