Gold standard for hosting a Drupal DXP

What differentiates Acquia Drupal Cloud from other similar products?

The cloud admin UI makes it amazingly easy to manage your dev, stage & prod environments for all sites. The Cloud CDN is excellent. We've experienced only solid uptime and performance. We have multiple development agencies working on sites and the permission-setting is very straightforward.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

We are now using Cloud SiteFactory as the foundation of our Drupal ecosystem. Its flexibility is an enormous benefit as we grow into a more expansive system of integrated sites.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The price point takes some getting used to, but this is enterprise-level security and scalability. For the money, their support/maintenance ticketing system should be much easier to use than it is. The updates can be very difficult to parse and it's hard to feel confident that the right people are being cc'd.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Test drive using Drupal. You'll want to ensure that Drupal is suitable for your organization's content producers and developers before considering Acquia.
