"Very happy with move from fixed infrastructure to Platform.sh"
5/5
What do you like best about Upsun?

SportRx moved it website hosting infrastructure from a traditional fixed footprint vendor to Platform.sh and AWS about 9 months ago. The new environment has been very stable and Platform.sh support has been very proactive and timely. Their Magento expertise were very valuable in optimizing our Platform.sh environment as well as the included Fastly CDN to improve our site's performance and stability.

What do you dislike about Upsun?

At the moment, the Platform.sh portal lacks customer visible metrics and notifications. But this is being addressed and we have been beta testers of their upcoming metrics functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent service-level"
5/5
What do you like best about Upsun?

We had two critical migrations to prepare and very short deadlines (less than two months).

Platform.sh provided an excellent support for delivering our projects on-time.

We had the onboarding phase with account managers and technical teams. We had a daily follow-up that enabled us to achieve our goals and a private channel to reach them easily. They ensure the technical tasks with our dev team with reactivity. We have been very impressed by their high quality job. In addition, we had a review together at the end of the project, 3 months later and we're still have semester follow up. I highly recommend Platform.sh for your projects. They have the best service-level ever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upsun?

The projects were closed four months ago. For now, we have not found any downsides within our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Better if you want a quick deployment and easy to learn."

What do you like best about Upsun?

The simplicity with which you can do things here are great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upsun?

little resources to learn if you are new to this. Also Cron jobs cause little issue to web deployment.At first when you set up the platform command on your local you will get some headache because it requires you to have php installed along with some services turned on. Which I think can be improved but since there whole platform is dependent on php so it has to be there or if they can provide an .exe installer to install on windows so it will be great just a simple installer like software has.

""Phenomenal application hosting power, itty-bitty learning curve""
5/5
What do you like best about Upsun?

One of the best things about Platform.sh is the fact that it basically enforces best practices development by basing itself on your project git repository. We all know a web application or website ought to use source code control, but practices vary from host to host and agency to agency. It also almost always excludes infrastructure from the equation.

On P.sh you manage your container configuration, build and deployment processes, and code all from within your git repository, and simply by creating a new branch in the repository you have a complete replica of your production environment for new development, hot fixing, or staging changes. It's incredible, especially when you finally hit those cases where code changes require infrastructure changes (e.g. to add and configure a Solr index for advanced search) and you can deploy everything to production at once by merging the branch to master ... with zero downtime for deployment.

The P.sh CLI and documentation are fairly robust, and their provide a wide variety of starting points for hosting different types of applications. I've yet to encounter a project that used a programming language they didn't already support. : ) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upsun?

Platform.sh is a power tool and should be regarded as such when comparing price against budget hosts / shared servers. However, the price is still worth mentioning - you cannot run multiple application containers on the lowest priced plans for "heavier" applications like Drupal. You also need to pay attention to how many environments and users you're adding, as that can cause prices to scale out. When compared to what it would cost to build and manage the same infrastructure internally, though, it's a no brainer - we've enabled multiple enterprise customers to completely remove any internal sysadmin costs by migrating their application to P.sh, freeing those staff up for more productive application development.

When managing a wide variety of sites on P.sh, we found that we needed to introduce our own centrally managed logging service, as it isn't easy out of the box to track resource utilization / errors across many different projects. Fortunately, we found a tutorial in their documentation that our development team followed to tie into DataDog as a log manager for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
