Let's break it down by feature
Pantheon helps web teams accelerate innovation, drive higher performance, and maintain exceptional security while reducing operational headaches. While Acquia offers certain features, Pantheon delivers agility, scalability, and comprehensive support for modern web teams to thrive.
| Feature | Pantheon | ACQUIA |
|---|---|---|
| CMS Support | Supports multiple CMS platforms, including Drupal and WordPress | Only works with Drupal |
| Multisite Support | Offers flexible multisite governance with upstreams for site management and flexible, site-specific governance across multiple sites | Acquia Site Factory supports multisite, but has significant shortcomings with cookie-cutter sites |
| DXP approacH | Integration-agnostic platform focusing on flexibility and agility | A monolithic DXP solution that can be complex and time-consuming to implement |
| Integration with partners | Focuses on integration with best-of-breed solutions without vendor lock-in | Has a large ecosystem of technology partners, but lacks integration at the platform level |
| WebOps methodology | Offers innovative WebOps methodology that accelerates development and updates | Traditional approach may feel outdated and clunky for agile web teams |
| Customer success | 24/7 live support from expert WordPress and Drupal developers available by chat, email and phone | Offers Acquia Academy for training but is known for subpar support and high costs |
| Platform flexibility | Allows for open integration and innovation, enabling freedom of choice | Locks customers into its product ecosystem, making it harder to leave |

Join the many teams switching from Acquia to Pantheon
Pantheon is the preferred platform for teams of all sizes, ranging from enterprise-level institutions to small, agile teams, who are looking to escape from Acquia's limitations.
By migrating to Pantheon, I got my life back. The burden of manual processes and slow support responses was lifted. For UCLA Health, solving this problem meant regaining control and efficiency.”

We felt that Acquia’s Site Factory was going in the direction of almost WordPress-like solutions that didn’t fit our developer-centric process. We needed more help with our day-to-day code management and solutions.
Jeremy Pieper, Web Development Manager at Perforce
We didn’t have Multidev on Acquia, and sometimes we had problems with content getting erased. Now on Pantheon, we have a more agile process for the team to set up environments without impacting our weekly sprints and releases. It’s super helpful!”
