Overall Satisfaction with Pantheon

We use Pantheon to provide hosting services to our clients for whom we make websites and applications. Most of our clients are medium sized government agencies that need high availability and hosting solutions that allow multiple users with various permissions. Pantheon provides scaleable infrastructure with multi-user access was well as a development workflow that integrates well with our chosen tools and most of the time prevents us from having to manage any code except our own.

Yes - Acquia, because it sucked
Acquia was terrible. We use DigitalOcean for some all-purpose computing needs and Platform.sh for an application that does more computing and high-throughput processing where we do not want page views (API calls) to count against our usage.

Do you think Pantheon delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Pantheon's feature set?

Yes

Did Pantheon live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Pantheon go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Pantheon again?

Yes

Pantheon is excellent for medium-large websites that require high availability and a managed workflow. It would be inappropriate for small websites because of the cost or for situations where more control of the environment is appropriate. We find it useful because we rarely do anything outside of the Drupal application.
