Abhinand Gokhala K - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Lead at Bigone Technologies
The product is user-friendly and performs well, but it is very costly compared to other tools
We are a software development company. We recommend solutions to our clients, but they ask us to compare it with other solutions. Clients compare the monthly costs of Pantheon with other servers and ask us to create the same environment in dedicated servers. If Pantheon reduces its cost, we can confidently suggest it to clients. Overall, I rate the tool a seven out of ten.
James Dunne-Bennett - PeerSpot reviewer
Project Delivery Manager at Siemens Industry
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product allows users to create multiple development environments."
"Pantheon has the most valuable workflow model."
"Wix is a powerful no-code, low-code platform that significantly reduces development effort."
"Wix has actually reduced my time in developing or delivering a website to the client, so I can have more clients in the pipeline."
"I found everything okay in Wix, and it's easy to create a website."
"The biggest advantages are that it is inexpensive and very easy to use, which means I can spend less time building the website and more time working."
"The return on investment with Wix is excellent because hosting a website costs around 4,000 to 5,000 Indian Rupees, equivalent to $50 a year, I have access to all tools and functionalities, and I can generate as much sales as I want through Wix."
"I like the solution's responsiveness, usability, and user interface."
"Basic features can be grasped in a couple of hours because it's CMS-based with all tools readily available."
 

Cons

"Wix has drawbacks regarding website optimization and speed."
"The solution’s scalability can be improved."
