Complete hosting solution with Pantheon.io
Overall Satisfaction with Pantheon
We use Pantheon as a vendor when selling our professional services of building websites. They're a complete package for a managed hosting solution and development workflow. By integrating tools like Redis, Solr, NewRelic reporting, and now free HTTPS using Let's Encrypt and their global CDN - it's a tool worth it's weight for clients whose core business is built around their website.
Pros
- Development workflow
- Managed hosting solution
- 24/7 support and online chat
Cons
- Some slow loading dashboard issues at times.
- Pantheon has increased our productivity and decreased time spent on-boarding new developers and clients by at least 2x or more.
When you compare the cost of the product to the value it provides and time to launch - Pantheon wins the race. While Acquia is nice, it is generally a much more expensive hosting environment with not as many built-in features. OpenShift and Amazon Web Services are great if you need very custom builds, but you will need to set them up and maintain them yourself.
