Simplifying web operations for digital leaders

G2 reviews are authentic and verified.

Here's how.

"Solid service, been using them for over 4 years now"

5/5

What do you like best about Upsun?

This is a great platform for developers to setup complicated builds. Unlike any of their competitors I have used, their build processes are part of the system itself. The allow complex multi-app setups that use a variety of different base languages as well. This is crucial in today's sophisticated website /app architectural universe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upsun?

None anymore, their support used to be kind of meh. It has come a long way and I have no complaints currently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"We recommend Platform.sh for many of our key clients"

5/5

What do you like best about Upsun?

In general, we believe in cloud and PaaS technologies for building flexible and sustainable web solutions, quickly. Platform.sh fits this profile and is amongst the most flexible of the offerings out there. The interface over the years has improved substantially. The dev tools have always been strong, and this has remained. The partner portal and support materials are completely and cover a wide array of materials. They are well written and all brand compliant which makes it easy to find and diggest the information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upsun?

Support and guaranteed SLA's are offered only on the highest subscription tiers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great website deployment workflow and top-notch personal service"

5/5

What do you like best about Upsun?

Platform.sh's technology allows you to deploy your website quickly. Running copies of the site in multiple environments allows near-live testing, which reduces downtime and increases quality. Their "deploy on Friday" slogan is true. You won't look back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upsun?

I'm missing the possibility to use automated provisioning. If a site needs more resources due to a spike in traffic I have to manually upgrade the plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Just works, no hassle"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Upsun?

Platform cli tool includes lot of useful commands, including access to ssh, drush, etc. Also Slack support is very very effective : Ask a question there and ~30 seconds later you get to discuss directly with senior devs and well known characters of the open source (and Drupal) community. I was never ever let down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upsun?

There is currently no easy way to configure a regular automated backup Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"More than hosting. A platform we can build our business strategy on."

5/5

What do you like best about Upsun?

Platform.sh is a platform as a service which allows us to consistently build and iterate on. By standardising on Platform.sh we are able to context-switch between projects much more easily than before. Deployments are now an absolute breeze and we've been able to build internal business infrastructure on top of Platform.sh workflows which allow us to innovate quickly for our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upsun?

Platform.sh doesn't have the most consistent uptime unless you use the enterprise plan which can cause issues. Recently, the uptime has been much more stable and consistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"So far so good!"

4/5

What do you like best about Upsun?

Fantastic performance and helpful support from people who know what they're doing. I'm very pleased with the speed and stability of platform.sh, and any support questions I've had have been quickly addressed by support staff, many of whom have Drupal community credibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upsun?

The learning curve when getting started is a little steep, but once you get up to speed with the way it works it all makes sense. It's confusing at first when you're not used to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Upsun:

A great Drupal hosting platform, so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Upsun solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hosting a Drupal 7 site on a stable and affordable platform. I migrated the site away from a competitor that was growing too expensive for what they were offering. Platform.sh offers a much better value for me as a developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Secure and easy to develop on"

5/5

What do you like best about Upsun?

Just the right amount of control. Keeps you safe from yourself whilst letting you do your thing. Great support, pretty good documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upsun?

It takes a while to get used to the restrictions and learn how to work around them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Upsun:

Check the documentation, get on the slack support channel. Great community, ready to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Upsun solving and how is that benefiting you?

CI/CD. Real easy to spin up new development branches.

Realized how much time I was wasting before trying to set up a new environment. I used to have scripts, but they still required plenty of manual changes, vhosts and such. So much easier to just click "activate". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I platform to take your Drupal sites to another level"

5/5

What do you like best about Upsun?

It's fast, Drupal runs smooth.

It's easy to start developing and the most impressive feature in my opinion is how deployments work. A simple commit/push to Platform does all the things necessary to have everything deployed and working.

Branch management is easy and fast as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upsun?

It's a bit tricky to get the point about local development, but Platform is well documented and it's easy to find the information you need. Now that they have Lando integrated in the local development process this is not a problem anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good service with highly configurable product that can tailored to your needs."

4/5

What do you like best about Upsun?

Easy to use and great choice of services Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upsun?

I haven't found anything that I dislike with the service / product as yet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Upsun:

Highly reccommended - easy to use and implement. Might advise that some development experience is useful, but not a requirement as the documentation is extensive and detailed in simple to understand language Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Upsun solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using platform.sh to host our Drupal websites. The key benefit of platform.sh to our previous hosting solution is that we can make changes to the hosting environment and appication code, test & deploy quickly. It has significantly decreased the continuous integration piece so making changes to our application has become significantly quicker, facilitate more rapid development.

"A flexible and powerful web hosting platform"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Upsun?

Among the various web hosting services, platform.sh is among the most powerful and flexible. Where others have limitations, platform.sh is likely able to accommodate your needs. All the while you still don't manage a complete server, and have none of the associated headaches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upsun?

With great power and flexibility comes a certain amount of complexity, You are not going to just pay for your subscription and then flip a switch. However, it isn't much harder than that, and definitely far less complex than running and managing a full virtual machine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
