Overall Satisfaction with Pantheon
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.
- Increased efficiency for rapid site management and deployment.
- Improved safety (backups and workflows) to mitigate issues in a live, production environment.
- Improved collaboration between developers, allowing for developers to easily merge changes when working side-by-side on a single project.
My favorite feature is the ability to set up environments with ease and have each environment individually associated with a GIT branch. This allows for seamless and painless development and deployment.
The differentiating advantage that Pantheon has is the incredibly intuitive workflow UI, with seamless GIT integrations between each environment: Dev, Test, and Live.
