Featured Reviews

Adrian Campanelli - PeerSpot reviewer
Great digital DXP platform with asset management features and personalization tools but has unclear platform sizing
One area for improvement is how Acquia sizes its platform for customers, which can be ambiguous and often results in penalties after doing business. Issues with defining site requests and visits are not standard in the market. They also need to improve their support and technical advisory services. The manuals provided lacked clear and complete information.
James Dunne-Bennett - PeerSpot reviewer
Has saved time during website building and helps maintain a professional look
The mobile view needs to be fixed when reviewing on the desktop to show what it actually displays on the phone. There were a couple of small bugs which I think they fixed. Sometimes when dragging and dropping things into place, they would snap into place, and then after saving and checking the live page, it would not quite match what was showing in the website builder. I would have to go back in and move it to the right and then snap it back for it to work. Sometimes doing exactly the same thing when building requires one or two attempts to get it to reflect what you want to see on the live page.
