Building tailored digital journeys has become faster and improves our team delivery quality

  • March 30, 2026
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

I have been using Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) for approximately one and a half to two years.

I typically use Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) for tools such as Acquia Cloud, Site Studio, and website hosting, as well as for development practices including CI/CD pipelines and automated testing.

Most of my use with Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) is with Site Studio, where I use it to build prototypes and web pages. My full website revolves around Site Studio. I also use the CI/CD and hosting capabilities so that I can deploy website changes, and Acquia takes care of all the CI/CD, testing, and hosting.

Since my website is 100% built around Drupal, Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) is the best place to host my website. One of the platform's key strengths is its ability to unify content management, personalization, and customer data into a single experience layer, enabling my team to build highly tailored digital journeys across multiple channels for enterprise websites like the one I work for, as well as e-commerce integrations and customer portals.

What is most valuable?

In my opinion, the best features Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) offers are website hosting, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing capabilities, and flexible deployment workflows because those are the tools I use most on a daily basis.

The deployment workflows in Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) are very easy to use. We have an integration with Jenkins where we make a build to create an artifact, and then we deploy to Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) and all the pipeline runs there.

Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) is very easy to use, and all of the team can perform well while using it. It is really accessible for all team members, so we have people working with front-end and Site Studio, and developers working with CI/CD pipelines.

The ease of use and the accessible log tools of Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) make the team faster to debug things and deploy changes to the client website, so it really helps us. It is really easy to use and very useful.

What needs improvement?

With Site Studio, Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) could be less coupled to the module itself. It should be more modular and decoupled.

Every tool I use from Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) is very good, and I have not identified any other improvements needed beyond what I have already mentioned.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) for approximately one and a half to two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) is stable with up to 99.9% uptime, and none of the updates so far have caused any trouble to the team. It is really stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) handles growth and increasing demands well. I do not really need scalability on a daily basis, but in the times I needed it, it was really good.

How are customer service and support?

Customer support for Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) is very nice. I would rate it a 10 out of 10.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I used to use PSH, but I decided to migrate to Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) because it is easier to use and integrates better with Drupal. It is 100% Drupal.

I migrated from PSH to Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) without evaluating other options.

What was our ROI?

I do not have a specific answer regarding return on investment, but my team is agile, and I can see that working with competitors like PSH before, Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) is much more accessible for the team. It helps improve delivery time and quality.

What other advice do I have?

My advice for others looking into using Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) is that it is a robust and scalable digital experience platform that stands out for its strong integration with Drupal, its cloud-native architecture, and from a developer's perspective, it provides a well-structured ecosystem that supports modern development practices, including CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and flexible deployment workflows. One of the key strengths is its ability to unify content management, personalization, and customer data into a single experience layer, enabling my team to build highly tailored digital journeys with less time, very fast delivery, and higher quality in all deliveries. I gave Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) an overall review rating of 10 out of 10.

Seamless global website management with robust design support

What is our primary use case?

I was an Assistant Dean for Online Education at the School of Engineering. We used Acquia Digital Experience Platform for handling our website, flex space dot org. It is a free and open website of learning space exemplars that is available globally.

How has it helped my organization?

Acquia kept our website running flawlessly. Despite being a complex website used globally, it was stable and transparent for me. We had uninterrupted service and the site never went down.

What is most valuable?

Acquia was able to support everything our designer came up with. Every user is almost like a mini administrator, which spoke well to how they were connected globally.

What needs improvement?

Once the site was originally developed, it needed to be transferred onto Acquia, which was quite a task. There were challenges whenever Drupal changed its version, as we had to ensure everything still worked.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Acquia for several years. It has been more than two years because we were running FlexSpace on it.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Stability-wise, it was pretty good. We had uninterrupted service and the site never went down.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It scaled as the user base grew, and there were no problems allowing for expansion.

How are customer service and support?

Their support team was outstanding. I had a consistent portfolio person to call when issues arose. Acquia takes good care of their employees as the point of contact changed only once or twice over the years.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was tricky as it involved a lot of information to move over to Acquia. Every time Drupal changed its version, we had to ensure everything continued to work seamlessly.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Acquia was part of a university-wide contract through SUNY, and they were very competitive in pricing. Education always seeks the most value for the dollar spent.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We looked at multiple website hosting services.

What other advice do I have?

Acquia's support platform is commendable. Having a consistent point of contact made any issues manageable, and I would recommend the product to others.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.
