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.

Centralized event data has automated venue updates and still needs faster real-time analytics
One thing I appreciate about Yext Digital Presence Platform is that it automates the updates across all platforms, including social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. Previously, whenever any location changes occurred for any of the events, we spent a lot of time manually updating those changes, which sometimes resulted in incorrect data being displayed to fans. This could harm user trust. Now, with Yext Digital Presence Platform, the data is updated automatically, so fans see the correct information for the UFC event. Additionally, the reporting aspect is enhanced; collecting data from various sources and creating reports is now much simpler. We create different entities such as Fighter, Fight, Event, and Location entities and establish relationships between them. This centralized unit collects source data, making dashboard creation much easier.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most valuable aspects is working with a recognized firm, which sometimes surpasses the commercial and marketing requirements for big customers."
"Before using Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP), we might manage two projects a year, but now we can deliver four to five projects and provide more features for each client."
"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."
"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."
"Building pages using Site Studio components was very easy, and using Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) for our website and project was really great."
"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."
"Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) has positively impacted my organization by improving speed to market, where opening up a new country allowed us to put the content together very rapidly, reducing the time from a good three months previously down to six to eight weeks."
"Acquia ensures we always have the latest releases available, which is a positive step forward in growth."
"The main benefit of using Yext Digital Presence Platform is that we no longer have to update data manually across multiple entities or social media platforms, as the process is now automated."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"In terms of scalability, Acquia is not suitable for e-commerce; it's more suited for content publishing and marketing websites."
"Once the site was originally developed, it needed to be transferred onto Acquia, which was quite a task."
"We faced loading issues, performance issues, and some kind of optimization issues on some pages."
"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."
"In Site Factory, the provisioning of environments can take time."
"My experience with customer support for Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) was terrible."
"One thing that could be improved is the real-time updates. Currently, when we send changes to Yext Knowledge Graph, the updates are reflected in the analytics tool with some delay, around thirty minutes to an hour."
