## About Acquia Cloud Platform
Acquia Cloud Platform is a fully managed hosting and DevOps platform built exclusively for Drupal. It gives development and IT teams a Drupal-optimized environment, so they spend less time on server maintenance and more time building digital experiences that matter. Acquia was founded by Drupal creator Dries Buytaert and has remained the top corporate contributor to Drupal for more than 15 years, so Cloud Platform is engineered with a deeper understanding of Drupal than a generic hosting provider can offer. Teams get automated deployments, multi-environment staging, and a full DevOps toolchain, including Cloud IDE for browser-based development and Code Studio for CI/CD pipelines built on GitLab, without assembling and maintaining custom tooling. Cloud Platform scales from a single site to thousands of sites on one platform. Centralized governance and site isolation let organizations apply bulk code updates across an entire portfolio while keeping individual environments secure and independent, replacing manual, site-by-site maintenance with automated, self-service provisioning. Security and compliance are built in. Cloud Platform includes a web application firewall, bot protection, and threat mitigation at the edge, backed by a compliance portfolio spanning FedRAMP Authorization, HIPAA, PCI, SOC 1 and SOC 2, and ISO 27001. Organizations in regulated industries, including government, healthcare, higher education, and financial services, rely on Cloud Platform for mission-critical Drupal hosting, backed by up to a 99.99% uptime SLA. Add-ons include Site Studio for low-code page building, Content Hub for content syndication, and SearchStax for AI-powered site search. Acquia backs Cloud Platform with a global support organization, Technical Account Managers who serve as embedded Drupal experts, and Professional Services for implementation and migration.




## Acquia Cloud Platform Reviews
  ### 1. Acquia Drupal Cloud: to create an enterprise class online experience that is safe and inclusive.

**Reviewed Date:** November 29, 2023

At G2, we prefer fresh reviews and we like to follow up with reviewers. They may not have updated their review text, but have updated their review.

**What do you like best about Acquia Cloud Platform?**

This product truly sets the standard for safety, inclusivity, and SEO. I haven't found anything else that can compare. After using the platform for several years, I have come to value the support provided, especially since the Customer Success Managers consistently meet with us to ensure everything is running smoothly.

**What do you dislike about Acquia Cloud Platform?**

The optional Site Studio makes basic editing easy for marketing, but limits creativity for enterprise clients.

**What problems is Acquia Cloud Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Being in financial services, it's important that our DXP is not just safe and inclusive, but converts customers. We find this platform to be the best fit to check all of those boxes. Acquia provides great uptime and a seamless way to manage all of our environments.  We used an IBM DXP before, and our site has improved load time, much improved WCAG accessibility score and more intuitive authoring experience.  We've also found that when we need support, support tickets are handled promptly and effectively.

**Reviewed Date:** June 17, 2025

**What do you like best about Acquia Cloud Platform?**

The Git integration works well and does what it’s supposed to. The interface is pretty basic, not much in terms of design or polish, but it’s functional and easy enough to use.

Creating backups and restoring them is straightforward, and moving database data between environments is simple, which is helpful for development or testing workflows.

Overall, nothing really stands out as exceptional, but there’s nothing frustrating either. It’s a practical tool that does what it needs to.

**What do you dislike about Acquia Cloud Platform?**

Customer Support response times can be slow, and initial replies are often just generic links to their documentation. However, if you follow up and push a bit, you usually get more helpful and specific responses.

**What problems is Acquia Cloud Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It resolves several common challenges when managing a Drupal application. Deployment is much easier thanks to built-in Git integration. Database management is also handled well, creating, restoring, and moving backups between environments. The support for multiple environments (like development, staging, and production) makes it easy to test and deploy changes without extra setup.

**Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2023

**What do you like best about Acquia Cloud Platform?**

Acquia Cloud servicehandles all of the nuance of hosting a Drupal site, while allowing the maximum amount of user agency. It allows me, as a Junior Developer, to focus on the things that directly affect the users of my enterprise website. In the same way that Drupal makes web content management accessible for less technical individuals, Acquia Cloud makes site/code changes accessible to Junior Developers.

**What do you dislike about Acquia Cloud Platform?**

Although the customer service has been good, dealing with an intermediate (Acquia Support) to make certain infrastructure changes can be a bit cumbersome.

**What problems is Acquia Cloud Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Acquia Drupal Cloud is a hosting service that my organization uses for web site hosting. We use the service for hosting a multisite Drupal environment with dev/stage/prod servers. Acquia Cloud provides the infrastructure management for our enterprise website so we can focus on building a strong Drupal web team.

Honestly, nothing. Maybe I wish they would also host Wordpress installs. They are so great at Drupal, I bet they would knock it out of the park.

Acquia Cloud provides our organisation with a comprehensive and reliable hosting platform for our Drupal 9 website. 
The control panel offers plenty of information and configuration options, whilst it also has an easy-to-use interface for developers to deploy and run tasks. 
What stands out most is the support provided by Acquia. I have found the support team to be very responsive and our account manager engages regularly with us on how we can get the best out of what we have.

We have not experienced any issues with the platform., or noticed anything we need that is missing.

**Reviewed Date:** December 10, 2021

**What do you like best about Acquia Cloud Platform?**

Acquia's Cloud platform is the most robust, well-supported environment for hosting enterprise Drupal applications. It is one of the few Drupal-optimized platforms that are both HIPAA and FedRAMP certified. Members of Acquia's technical team are very involved in the Drupal open source project.

**What do you dislike about Acquia Cloud Platform?**

There's no entry-level option; customers must make a fairly significant up-front commitment to the platform. Acquia's sales representatives are incentivized to sell various add-ons to the platform, many of which may not be necessary. The long-term roadmap for the Drupal Cloud platform is unclear as Acquia is increasingly focusing on its Marketing Cloud products. The platform only has very limited support for non-Drupal applications, which may be a challenge for some organizations. It is currently not possible to change regions within the platform once your account has been set up.

**What problems is Acquia Cloud Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Acquia's Drupal Cloud is an excellent choice for larger organizations that need to maintain multiple web properties running Drupal. It has robust tooling and features that streamline deployment and maintenance tasks. Customers of ours who are moving from self-hosted infrastructure have seen tremendous gains in both performance and uptime. For organizations with strong compliance needs (HIPAA, FedRAMP, etc.), it is the obvious choice for hosting Drupal applications.

**Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2021

**What do you like best about Acquia Cloud Platform?**

It is a great platform, especially for those who work with Drupal and want the highest performance; it is recommended for a professional team and integrated into Drupal since it is a powerful development platform for that technology, optimized and launched; yes, I recommend it.

**What do you dislike about Acquia Cloud Platform?**

Perhaps the cost is somewhat high for small businesses starting; a plan for small businesses, entrepreneurship, or for individuals such as personal blogs and profile sites would be excellent, fantastic support.

**Recommendations to others considering Acquia Cloud Platform:**

Yes, I recommend it, but for companies that require high returns in their web applications and especially with cutting-edge technologies for their businesses, for large corporations, it is a safe and future investment; it should be noted that there is a great team behind this project such as is the creator of Drupal and a large part of them are those who are aware of the platform giving and improving the hosting for an excellent performance of the clients' sites.

**What problems is Acquia Cloud Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

In sites that require excellent performance, it is the most suitable. The performance is perfect for high-demand areas, and arrangement is made for it, as cms Drupal is one of the most excellent of the Vanguardia. The problem solved is high-demand sites with excellent performance; the benefits are a fantastic support team for products and systems

Hosting on Acquia Drupal Cloud is reliable, fast, and scaleable. The customer support is the best I have experienced with any web development vendor, not just hosting providers.

**What do you dislike about Acquia Cloud Platform?**

As a premium service, the cost makes Acquia Drupal Cloud hosting outside the reach of many smaller companies, government agencies, and non-profit organizations.

We use Acquia Drupal Cloud to host our main brand website, which is global and therefore translated/localized for many countries. Drupal is the perfect application for our solution and Acquia Drupal Cloud is the top-of-the line hosting for a Drupal website.

**Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2021

**What do you like best about Acquia Cloud Platform?**

Ease of use and super scalable dev-ops makes launching code or database updates super easy and painless. There is a very clean UI that takes a lot of guesswork out of our process, which sometimes requires deployments from non-technical staff.

**What do you dislike about Acquia Cloud Platform?**

General support sometimes lacks the personalization that can be found with a dedicated team (which is available but with an extra cost).

**What problems is Acquia Cloud Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our deployment process frequently requires large database dumps, which i now completely by simply dragging and dropping across the screen -- similar to a desktop interface.

**What do you like best about Acquia Cloud Platform?**

There has not been any unplanned downtime in years using this platform. The scalability and performance has been tested multiple times, with traffic peaks adequately managed by Acquia

It is only Drupal as the CMS/Technology for the time being. It can get quite expensive if web requests are not correctly cached and ends up hitting the origin servers

We need a reliable, secure, and high-performance web application hosting environment with no hidden fees and world-class tech support in case of a contingency
