What do you like best about Platform.sh?

The ability to easily adapt and update the hosting environment depending on the needs of our clients. Supporting over 80 sites on the service - some that we've built and some that we just support means that there are a wide range of ways that Drupal has been implemented. having the flexibility to have different flavours of PHP, MariaDB, Solr and Drupal core within the same overall hosting package is invaluable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Platform.sh?

The inability to stop a build if it becomes blocked is an issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Platform.sh:

It is very different to traditional hosting - but it is worth sticking at it as the benefits of the build and deployment process are well worth it.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Platform.sh solving and how is that benefiting you?

We support over 80 Drupal sites across three different versions. Platform allowed us to standardise our hosting in one place - with smaller clients and enterprise clients alike all using the same build and deployment processes. The secure nature of the platform and the choice of hosting locations makes Platform a logical fit for an agency like ours selling into the UK and EU markets.

What do you like best about Platform.sh?

As a project manager, I can create branches or sync content from the main environment to a test environment without support of a developer. The UI is clear and easy to understand. The support answers within a reasonable time and is usually very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Platform.sh?

The high quality has a considerable higher price than other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Platform.sh?

The deploying of changes, and updates with a simple commit. No messing around with making thrid party CI/CD systems work with your host and no additional CI/CD costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Platform.sh?

They charge per developer on an account. This makes little sense to me and penalizes smaller teams trying to grow as they have higher cost than large agencies who get unlimited users. It would make more sense to just charge solely for the resources each client needs and nothing to do with my agency and number of devs I won't to have access to the site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Platform.sh solving and how is that benefiting you?

It simplifies all of our DevOps, leaving us to focus on the client's build and not worry about the server. So we don't need a dedicated DevOps persons and I'm freed up to focus on more important tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Platform.sh?

If you need a dev, stage, or prod platform, then Platform.Sh provides a rock-solid Linux environment. It integrates well with a number of build pipelines, and is more flexible than Gumby after a Yoga class.

If command line ops don't scare you, they are a very good choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Platform.sh?

You don't get direct SSH access (as you would with a self-hosted Linux environment.) Your access point is a layer above, via config files. There IS a bit of a learning curve to this, but it is well worth the time invested. (It is leaps-and-bounds more configurable than competing GUI-Only solutions.) But if you make a mistake, the subsequent mess can be harder to clean-up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Platform.sh:

Good Drupal support. Read the docs, then talk to a rep, before you buy. (The reps are great!) It can be a complex system to get running, it is not as simple as a drag-and-drop GUI, but substantially more powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Platform.sh?

Two of the things about Platform.sh that I enjoy immensely are their ability to (let you) automate processes and their focus on security.

As a SaaS company, we're using Platform.sh to run most of our projects. We're actively using their APIs to automate this process. The APIs are well documented and integrating this into our systems is straightforward.

Platform.sh takes the hassle out of hosting security. Having data at-rest encrypted, read-only file mounts and the necessary compliance (SOC 2 type 2) is a benefit for any organization serious about their security.

Our developers simply enjoy using Platform.sh. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Platform.sh?

It can be hard to determine when you need to upgrade projects to different plans. We've integrated different tools (easy and straightworward1) to help monitor usage and detect issues, having some of that out of the box would've been better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Platform.sh solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're deploying new (demo) sites on a daily basis. By now we've probably had well over a thousand sites running on Platform.sh. Having the ability to automate our processes using their APIs has been a tremendous benefit to our business.

In the end, a lot of decisions boil down to money. With Platform.sh you no longer have to think about upgrading your server to a new PHP version, it's just a one-line change. Deploying a new feature and having your marketing team checking it out is a 5 minutes task.

Platform.sh costs money, but you'll also save a lot of it if you think about the time your engineering team can spend on business-critical features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Platform.sh?

All of it :-) We've migrated almost our full stack to Platform.sh, and as the platform allows us to manage almost every aspect of the hosting, we had no trouble at all. It's only in rare cases, we tend to reach out to Platform.sh excellent service (Slack, tickets,...) to help us out. Edge cases where we need complex architecture are figured out together, where all P.sh engineers are almost fully dedicated to help us out. I'm not sure what to list as "best", this kind of service or the product itself. Probably the combination of both. Projects running on P.sh are almost zero-worry and we can give some really good assurances to all our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Platform.sh?

At this point, we have over 40 projects and 18 team members. There is no way to manage this in bulk, which leads to a lot of manual actions. But imporovements have been shown during the Agency roadshows, so we're looking forward for these new features. The lack of detailed metrics goes the same way. Nothing in place yet, but future plans show some decent improvements on this topic.

The grid setup is something else worth mentioning. If an issue occurs (which it rarely does), a lot of projects are affected at the same time. This is a busy peak on our own service level, but we can handle this :-) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Platform.sh solving and how is that benefiting you?

Taking full control of our hosting solutions is the biggest benefit. Never having to wait on upgrades or updates, but having the ability to handle almost every complex task. Taking backups, renewing certificates, syncing environments, upgrading PHP/Solr/Elastic/... versions,... All to be done with really minor changes in the configuration files.
