Based on my experience with their services, Acquia Cloud that we have been using, or Acquia hosting, is next to a native solution for Drupal projects, making it probably one of the best hosting solutions available, even though it has its flaws and we eventually had to shift to another one.

Because for every new site that I have to spin up, it uses the same governed components, it makes it faster, launches with zero brand drift, and editors never need a developer for day-to-day page building.

The support usually worked quite well, but the problem that led us to shift to another platform was also in support, as the quality of service degraded at some point, which became a bit of a problem.

The main improvement needed for Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) is related to its complexity, as it is not that lightweight with a surfeit of features, requiring users to read up on all the myriad of features, and while it is a sophisticated enterprise product that necessitates that complexity, the learning curve can be a bit steep for less experienced users needing quick task completion.
