Hosting complex global sites has ensured reliable 24x7 delivery for worldwide audiences
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. Initially, we received really good support in various cases, but it became unsatisfying when we couldn't find clues on particular issues, repeating multiple times. That was the reason to move away at some point, or at least one of the reasons. Our customer project had to be moved from Acquia Cloud to another service, which was dictated by multiple reasons, with one being the price and another being a degrading quality of service. I wish that this quality wasn't falling down and that we would continue the partnership. I am talking mostly about Acquia Cloud and I am not quite sure if it overlaps with Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) because when I see what is mentioned as DXP on Acquia's website, it seems to be a bit different kind of thing, reminding more of no-code, low-code solutions. For Drupal, I believe it is one of the best solutions you may have if you have a considerable contract with Acquia and you agree on the price.

Content workflows have transformed agency sites and now drive consistent organic leads
Sometimes even agencies need to have access to these and they could create even, I would say they would create, for example, a solution for agencies themselves. It would be like a branch of that, a Webflow Business - Enterprise agency, which would be more focused on just the things that matter for agencies in that specific case. For example, an agency may want or may need some translations on their website because they have clients from different countries. They may need things that are really specific. For example, they may not need all the bandwidth, but they may need those translations. They may need a client area or not, depending. But they may have a lot of visitors. Imagine if the biggest agencies in the world basically have tons of visitors just for their opinion articles and news in the business. That would make sense and to be slightly more affordable because sometimes agencies are one person, sometimes agencies are 10, 100, or 1,000 people. It really depends and I feel that if they could actually have that, that would be awesome. Also to have internal metrics is something that really bothers me as a content creator. Nowhere on Webflow, whatever the plan, people don't have access to any metrics. They don't know anything unless, of course, they are going to link the website to Google Analytics and Google Search Console, but there are no internal metrics. People don't know anything. They don't know how a specific blog article is performing unless they go to Google Analytics. This is something that I feel in comparison with other CMS solutions, let me say WordPress, is a problem. People don't know the performance of an article. When one opens the back end and clicks on a blog article because they want to edit it, on WordPress, they already know how many views it had, how many clicks it had, and they just need a free plugin to do that. Here on Webflow, of course, people don't have plugins, but they also don't have that opportunity to see or check any metrics. To have these plans so expensive but not providing any metrics is a bit odd. I feel that especially with content, people are working consistently on improving metrics. People need data to actually improve and not providing that is a bit of a miss for them. I've always said this and I've talked with developers about this and they said this is not to bloat the back end, but I feel that they should have the metrics because it makes a whole lot of difference to have those there because sometimes Google Analytics doesn't capture everything or captures in duplicates because sometimes there are occurrences that happen. I feel that it would be best for example, for people that don't know when they are setting up. Of course, when talking about enterprise, things are going to be set up professionally. But I feel that having the metrics there, for example, a CEO of a company is not going to access Google Analytics to check anything. Maybe they will try to sneakily access the website without telling the content person just to see if they are lying about the metrics. Having those metrics there in the back end for anyone to see would help a lot instead of people having to go to Google Analytics, Google Search Console to actually get those metrics. I feel that that's something that is lacking a lot there. I feel that they should have, in some capacity, something that Semrush has to help guide content towards matching SEO metrics or to have a better SEO score in terms of the writing itself. That could be a really interesting tool that they could bring to actually help people when they are creating blog content, to see if that content is actually hitting a specific keyword, if people have the density that it needs, if people have everything done correctly. I feel that's the thing that would be missing there as well. Because it still lacks a couple of functionalities, as I said, it has a lot of room for improvement. They just need to see what others are doing, for example, Yoast, Semrush, and everything else and see how they are doing the focus on SEO improvements. I know that Webflow is already well versed when it comes to SEO and everything ranking already. But when it comes to creating the content itself, for example, content creators are using Webflow. And even digital agencies, because they write articles to bring people to the website and to showcase their expertise. To have those tools to help them write with more quality would be something that I feel would be valuable and they are missing at the moment. The metrics, they are missing there, and that's a big problem for them in my opinion.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Acquia ensures we always have the latest releases available, which is a positive step forward in growth."
"Content Hub provides a centralized way to manage content."
"Every user is almost like a mini administrator, which spoke well to how they were connected globally."
"Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) offers the ability to provide a managed services cloud hosting environment for Drupal CMS, which is an open-source platform and can be a challenge to maintain independently due to the frequent updating and security patching required."
"Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) has positively impacted my organization primarily through its ease of use, making it easier to generate content and pages, especially from a marketing perspective, so entry-level people can access it and utilize it as well as advanced users, appealing to a range of people."
"Building pages using Site Studio components was very easy, and using Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) for our website and project was really great."
"One of the most valuable aspects is working with a recognized firm, which sometimes surpasses the commercial and marketing requirements for big customers."
"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."
"Webflow has positively impacted my organization in terms of branding."
"I am very happy with how Webflow Business - Enterprise works."
"Without Webflow Business - Enterprise, if we were spending 10 million, we could save half with Webflow Business - Enterprise, spending only 5 million, and the time saved is significant as well because using manual processing takes more time compared to passing tasks through Webflow Business - Enterprise, which reduces time by about 70%."
"Webflow has positively impacted my organization in terms of branding; we can really reflect what our brand is, company values, and how much we give importance to brand."
"Webflow Business - Enterprise has impacted my organization positively by providing a tool that gives a quick alternative to using WordPress because the whole WordPress hosting and server setup, doing mail SMTP, getting all the core plugins installed, it is good, but it is just a lot."
"Webflow Business - Enterprise positively impacts my organization because we started with the CMS plan and then switched to the business plan, resulting in more leads and users."
"This is the best case scenario that I have because they went from a website that barely had 300 views in a year to a website that had 300 views in a month."
"Webflow Business - Enterprise is an excellent tool where we can create complex designs and customizations while reducing almost 50% of work."
 

Cons

"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."
"One area for improvement is the way Acquia sizes their platform for customers, which can be quite ambiguous and often results in penalties after doing business."
"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."
"In terms of scalability, Acquia is not suitable for e-commerce; it's more suited for content publishing and marketing websites."
"We faced loading issues, performance issues, and some kind of optimization issues on some pages."
"One of the improvements needed for Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) involves platform sizing and pricing transparency, which is the most consistent complaint I have seen across various clients."
"Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) can be improved because sometimes it takes a lot of time."
"One area where Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) can be improved is the cost structure, as it's quite an expensive solution for what it is."
"Webflow Business - Enterprise could improve on pricing, as advanced features such as branching and reverse proxy setups are great, allowing us to host pages under different platforms while serving all under a single domain."
"Webflow Business - Enterprise can be improved by having more integrations with AI."
"One of the main things that hinders me while working on Webflow is copying elements and copying page layouts from one page to another."
"I find that Webflow could be improved, as the dashboard design could be more user-friendly in terms of colors and brands."
"To have these plans so expensive but not providing any metrics is a bit odd."
"I find that Webflow could be improved, as the dashboard design could be more user-friendly in terms of colors and brands."
"I see Webflow as a toy product still, just because it just has not reached that level."
