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.

Taking control of online identity has increased reputation and organic growth across platforms
Yext Digital Presence Platform's best features include Power Listing, reputation management, and Power Posting. Listing management, reputation management, and hosting stand out for me because they helped in many ways. I can respond quicker to any reviews or anything that is being said about my business across all platforms and in one dashboard, which helps manage it effectively. For my clients that depend heavily on reputation, using Yext Digital Presence Platform gives them more control over what is being said and spread around regarding them. Yext Digital Presence Platform has positively impacted my organization in many ways, showing that by using Yext Digital Presence Platform we can show immediate results and build a solid foundation for the long run. Many businesses ended up trusting us because they see how their business is increasing on a daily basis just by using Yext Digital Presence Platform and creating these platforms. We show them a scan tool where they can scan their business information across the net, and they will see their information.

Pros

"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."
"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."
"Content Hub provides a centralized way to manage content."
"The best feature of Acquia is its deployment capabilities and the DX product, which recently released a new framework called DX Acquia."
"Every user is almost like a mini administrator, which spoke well to how they were connected globally."
"Overall, Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) helps improve operational efficiency, release confidence, and customer experience."
"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."
"One of the most valuable aspects is working with a recognized firm, which sometimes surpasses the commercial and marketing requirements for big customers."
"For example, there is a salon that I started working with, which was generating almost 20k a month, and after I used Yext Digital Presence Platform with them, within six months they increased profit to 60k."
"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."
"The best features Yext Digital Presence Platform offers is that it is easy to navigate, it is simple to use, and I appreciate the user-friendly way that you are able to use it."
 

Cons

"Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) could be improved by allowing more customization options, as it currently has limitations with hooks in its core Drupal system that prevent us from making custom modules easily."
"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."
"Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) can be improved because sometimes it takes a lot of time."
"My experience with customer support for Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) was terrible."
"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 Site Factory, the provisioning of environments can take time."
"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 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."
"I think Yext Digital Presence Platform's pricing, setup cost, and licensing could be refined better."
