User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Great Cloud-based coordination platform which offers the team excellent capabilities on easy workflow management, multiple project activity tracking and easy to monitor all the project assets from one desk. Pantheon offers the best content management tools, strategic on development project life cycle management is excellent and the reporting features with Pantheon are effective and useful real-time data analytical capability. Incentivized Arianna Thomas Project Engineer Read full review
Pros	Effective use of our codebase deployment and implementation. The dashboard functionality and general stability and security are excellent. The server is quite consistent, and if you need assistance from the support team, they are very quick to respond. Automatic updates let me ensure that my customers have safe websites without increasing my own expense. The team offers excellent assistance and help for chat. Incentivized Ali shabaz Assistant Project Manager Read full review
Cons	Pricing structure has too large of a jump between Basic and Performance plans Have run into issues with prescribed WP updates not working through dashboard and having to do manually. Pantheon site dashboard occasionally is unavailable (the site is never affected though) Incentivized Todd Underwood Interactive Director Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	The environment is stable and we have not had any issues/downtime. The annual cost is reasonable. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Monitoring of project development is very easy using a dashboard with its integration capability, showing all processes in a single screen which is easy to use and also easy to navigate through. A powerful tool that allows testing to be carried on without the user noticing any changes to the system and a highly interactive tool for groups and project members. Incentivized Lily Adams Software Engineer Read full review
Support Rating	Even tier 1 Pantheon chat and ticket support are knowledgeable, competent, and useful. They routinely understand and promptly resolve urgent, complex, and/or unusual issues that other hosts need to escalate to tier 2 or tier 3 support personnel. I honestly can't think of a truly negative or disappointing support experience in the years I've used Pantheon hosting for client websites. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Implementation Rating	Once the environments were up and running, the implementation was easy to synchronize with latest data prior to switchover. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Acquia was terrible. We use DigitalOcean for some all-purpose computing needs and Platform.sh for an application that does more computing and high-throughput processing where we do not want page views (API calls) to count against our usage. Incentivized Tyler Brown Cifu Shuster Chief Engineer Read full review
Return on Investment	Pantheon allows ordinary sites to excel esp if there is consistent development going on behind the scenes. Website management is super easy and the hosting fee gets paid off as you save on developer hours. Expensive for those who are not consistently developing on the platform, there are other options out there at better price points.
