What do you like best about Upsun?

Platform.sh is a system that is based on the support of improving the development of web applications, I like this software as it offers opportunities for a new approach to companies that are dedicated to designing and creating functional pages with different environments, I feel like it in explicit and alternative circumstances, since it helps the most vulnerable companies in productivity to daily growth, offering important data at the same time, to promote an idea of ​​an undertaking into a possible fact.

What do you dislike about Upsun?

Indecently we can emphasize that it does not contain a quality control management of each operation that any company wishes to carry out with this software, to provide its clients with indeterminable success, since this is not availability, which would be of great help at a general level , when operating the system, including that its user interface is not at all attractive and contains brief information about what the software is dedicated to being implemented initiative mind.

"Focus where you need to"
5/5
What do you like best about Upsun?

Using Platform.sh lets individuals and teams focus on the problems that are important to them. If you're running a complex ecommerce site and need to run applications/services across a whole suite of technologies that need to be tuned just right you can do that. If you're running a straight forward website that needs a dev environment and a live environment you can do minimal setup and spend more time coding. Both use cases and everything in between benefit from automated deployments, stable environments, and consistent development experiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upsun?

More feature than bug but many of the settings for an environment are only changeable via code and therefor require a deployment to change. Sometimes it's just inconvenient having to push code where other hosting providers allow the same changes to made through the interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Incredible experience as Drupal Developer"
5/5
What do you like best about Upsun?

I've used Platorm.sh here at MMDA and my experience has been amazing. Its a great platform, with good team support (which is important to me), good documentation, backup with snapshot format, database synchronization, ssh access, multiple environment and great CLI tool. It's super easy to configure with a simple .yml file.

It’s a reliable product. I highly recommend it to either a small site or a big one. It’s easy to configure/test multiple sites and multi-language Drupal sites. It’s an stable platform and pretty fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upsun?

I had some issues to deploy because of limit memory, but it was solved with team support. So for its all I can say. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's reliable, scalable with a great tools, such as hooks for getting CI/CD running very quickly."
5/5
What do you like best about Upsun?

I love it's amazing flexibility and how easy to setup a hosting environment. With the out of the box hooks, it makes it super easy to setup CI/CD implementation with no additional costs. It also provides developers great flexibility and tools for different projects and requirements.

The ability to create multi testing environments with any branch on top of being able to run our default Dev/Stage/Prod git workflow environments is amazing. Allowing us to rapidly test and share with clients or among our teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upsun?

Some of the php extensions are a bit old, blocking us from using some of the latest tools such as WebP imagery via ImageMagic extension. Also guaranteed SLA's are offered only on the highest subscription tiers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Happy Site. Happy Dev."
4/5
What do you like best about Upsun?

One of the biggest things I like is that controlling a site is simple enough and can be done through a YML configuration within the code. This allows for us to completely have complete control of things such as what services we need to add. What parts of the site need to be redirected to https. Including what type of site we need to support (PHP, ASP.net, C#, etc.). This alone can sometimes be a huge headache for developers that they don't know how to manage this and it causes projects to sometimes get misconfigured. Additionally, I am a fan of the documentation and community as this can help answer questions quicker when running into road blocks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upsun?

For small sites the pricing can be a bit difficult and cause issues with budget. While $50 may not seem like a lot for sites that receive a small amount of traffic it can be a bit much. I know the argument can be made that with all that is offered through the lowest tiered service this is where the value comes in. I completely understand this but believe that this is the biggest hurdle I see. Additionally, in order to even get the site started and running the cost for a developer is a hit. The resources can't be guaranteed but as a developer we are still paying $10. To sum it up I believe my biggest dislike is pricing on how things are laid out.

"A web application developers dream"

What do you like best about Upsun?

By far my favorite feature is VCS integration with services like Gitlab. Automated deployment of merge requests to isolated environments has been great for quality assurance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upsun?

There are some features that do not carry into Platform.sh's enterprise offering which was particularly painful for one of our web applications. That said, out of 6 environments deployed to Enterprise, this was a blocker for just one of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Developer-centric platform and tools, very flexible and powerful"
5/5
What do you like best about Upsun?

The developer-oriented experience is fantastic, fast and productive. In comparison to, say, other platforms such as AWS/GCP/Acquia where the complex interfaces can be slow and cumbersome to work with.

The wide range of supported technologies and efficient support have also been a strong asset to have and the technical documentation is brilliant.

The killer-feature, in my view, is the byte-for-byte level replication of an entire stack between environments plus the seamless integration with tools like GitHub. It's an enormous time-saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upsun?

Some of the more complex aspects of application onboarding weren't straightforward to resolve but there was ample support from the platform team.

There were a few inconsistencies around things such as SSH key negotiation in the team but they seem to have been resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Upsun?

Platform.sh provides us a high degree of flexibility in how we manage and host our websites. They are very responsive to questions, suggestions and issues as they come up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upsun?

Platform.sh workflows require a higher degree of CI/CD knowledge than legacy workflows based upon local servers. This is not really a complaint, just a fact of life as you move from an on-premise solution to a cloud solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
