Pantheon Reviews & Product Details

I really like the consistent framework that Pantheon provides for spinning up a continuous integration continuous development pipeline. We were not able to have access to these features in our previous host and spent a lot of time debugging around the provided processes. In Pantheon, they provide you with a solid process, tools for that process (terminus), and the freedom to build your own pipeline. This has been a game changer as we have gotten our deployment down from over 3 hours to, at max, 15 minutes. Along with this is their customer support - it is by far the best support I have ever received from a company. I will have actionable insights by the end of the day without having to write a novel and wait for requests for additional information on our issue from people who clearly did not know our specific product.

At times the roll your own pipeline can be frustrating, especially when debugging an issue that you've created yourself. I'll look back ever once in awhile and think a process would be easier if there was just a turn-key solution for this one use case, but then I remember all of the additional things we get access to such as parallel deployment, multidev, integration with GitHub Actions, Terminus, more solid environments. With all the added benefits the extra time to build something specific for use case makes this the perfect hosting platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like developing sites on Pantheon. Being able to spin up a copy of the site from a git branch, having git integrated with each sandbox so I don't have to set up any devops or deployment scripts myself, the one-click deployment to test and live, the one-click syncing... it's all so easy to use. And all this is out-of-the-box in the free sandbox environments, before you pay for anything. It makes starting a site build so much easier, and maintaining a live site securely is a piece of cake too. I've been building websites for 20 years and it's my favorite hosting environment.

Hosting on Pantheon isn't cheap! But you get what you pay for, with great server-level security, and the built-in webops means you're saving time not setting up your own workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy integration with workflows, and the natural staging from dev to test to live. The ability to create multidevs for testing branched work is great. Pantheon's support has always be quick and useful. And the support for delegating control, so that the site owner doesn't have to do all the security/team assignment/technical configuration is helpful. The downstream support for Drupal updates is great, and the inside knowledge that the Pantheon team has for Drupal, especially with regard to security and potential exploits, is life saving.

Some aspects of the dashboard are a bit clunky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pantheon’s transparency is outstanding. They openly communicate about any issues and provide timely, detailed feedback, which builds trust. Their platform streamlines every aspect of website management, development, and deployment. It’s built for speed and efficiency, allowing our team to build, test, and iterate changes quickly without unnecessary complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the platform is robust, some advanced configurations require extra technical know-how, which could be challenging for smaller teams without dedicated developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The upsides are it's very straightforward, multi site or multi environment (Dev, Test, Live) it great for testing and workflow. Set up is easy to use if you know what you are doing. Customer support is pretty quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't really found anything other than price that I dislike about it. But you get what you pay for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been Pantheon user since it was started and this is best WebOps/DevOps platform. It has great UI for both coders and site builders, supports both terminal operations and UI operations, supports three major CMS (Wordpress, BackdropCMS and Drupal), works with custom upstream, etc. One of the greatest about this platform is exemplary customer support that always exceeds expectations!!

Used for Workflow, and like its speed and performance, it allows many developers to work seamlessly, and it also works well with CI/CD and modern dev tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's expensive compared to traditional hosting providers, and each workflow is unique, so it takes time to adjust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Multi-dev environments are a huge help for development and client teams to spend time building and reviewing new work outside of the normal development workflow

- WordPress MultiSite features

- Performance testing process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Hotfixing to live when needed is a bit of pain

- Not much flexibility in dev>stage>live flow of code changes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that every site comes with separate development, testing, and live environments, making it easy to push updates safely. Automatic daily backups, one-click restores, and easy cloning of environments is also a plus Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pantheon can be expensive once you move beyond the free dev plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
