Focus where you need to
What do you like best about the product?
Using Platform.sh lets individuals and teams focus on the problems that are important to them. If you're running a complex ecommerce site and need to run applications/services across a whole suite of technologies that need to be tuned just right you can do that. If you're running a straight forward website that needs a dev environment and a live environment you can do minimal setup and spend more time coding. Both use cases and everything in between benefit from automated deployments, stable environments, and consistent development experiences.
What do you dislike about the product?
More feature than bug but many of the settings for an environment are only changeable via code and therefor require a deployment to change. Sometimes it's just inconvenient having to push code where other hosting providers allow the same changes to made through the interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prototyping and demo environments. When trying to get a quick demo or proof of concept in front of a client there's nothing worse than fighting with servers and hosting. Being able to quickly spin up entire new software stacks and prepared environments means less time fighting hardware and more time trying out new ideas.
Streamlining development and testing. Having stable environments available for feature branches allows me to share in progress work with other developers or give testers the ability to try new functionality before merging it.
Built in automated deployments and CI tooling. No longer is CI tooling another service with an additional cost that gets relegated to "nice to have" and "when we have time" territory.

An extremely satisfatory Paas
What do you like best about the product?
Platform helps MMDA's teams in every step of the development. Easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
At management we had some complaints on Platform's support
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With the usage of Platform we had way less problems with environment settings
Really helped us streamline our deployment workflow, gain speed and quality
What do you like best about the product?
Platform.sh has many benefits, but to me, the one the most apparent and satisfying in my position as a product and then marketing lead, was the ability to accelerate deployment and especially testing. Adopting platform.sh allowed us to spin-up test evironments and test new functionalities being developed way early in the development process, and without asking much to our IT and Engineering teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much... we'd love the ability to run on multiple cloud providers at the same time. This is not yet possible, but not a blocker at all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For our own use, accelerating development, testing and deployment, improving our quality, focusing our resources.
Incredible experience as Drupal Developer
What do you like best about the product?
I've used Platorm.sh here at MMDA and my experience has been amazing. Its a great platform, with good team support (which is important to me), good documentation, backup with snapshot format, database synchronization, ssh access, multiple environment and great CLI tool. It's super easy to configure with a simple .yml file.
It’s a reliable product. I highly recommend it to either a small site or a big one. It’s easy to configure/test multiple sites and multi-language Drupal sites. It’s an stable platform and pretty fast.

I had some issues to deploy because of limit memory, but it was solved with team support. So for its all I can say.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simple and fast deployment to start QA and show the development to your client in a couple hours.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can start with the best. Its not so expensive for trial, and you can use it for QA, then you will start to see all advantages.
It attends my needs well

What do you like best about the product?
The agility that platform flow give us for a drupal site, with 3 environments where its easy to update each one

less devops headache for me and my team!!
Excellent support.

CLI it's an extra configuration but I know why

Continuos integration it's very helpfull.
Platform.sh is one of our top PaaS partners.
What do you like best about the product?
it's easy to setup projects and start working.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes we have problems with the Console, weird errors happens.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it's been a very reliable web hosting for our Drupal and Wordpress projects
Excellent. It's my go to hosting platform.
What do you like best about the product?
The way it's easy to set up new environments. The way we can make backups and sync code/databases. The client is well done as well and helps speed up new developers.
The way we get the deploy as a direct answer to the git push commands allows me to have one easy and predictable way to check it the deploy went well or had some issue. Doing it this way I do not need to check anther services to see if it was done or not, my own terminal can answer this.

What do you dislike about the product?
That there is not an easy way to set automatic backups (at least, for basic plans).
The way we renew SSL certificates could be simpler. At least for the "Lets Encrypt" environments. We need to deploy again and some projects that aren't in a high developing phase can become offline just because we didn't push code recently. This has forced us to create extra steps on our side to be sure that we keep checking when each website's cert will expire. I know there is a way to configure it to do it automatically but it isn't easy neither easy to check if it's working.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The workflow is simple. We do not need our own server neither some server specialist. Because of that we can focus on developing instead of checking if the CI build and deployed everything as needed.
Aaron Porter made me do this
What do you like best about the product?
Makes DevOps stupid easy. Great push to GitHub -> PR environments -> build/test -> merge flow that is very customizable. Awesome that you can run all kinds of projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
More outages than I would prefer. Sometimes the dashboard/project i am working for does not load. Some build problems require manual intervention by Platform.sh staff and that is problematic because support can be slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Standardizing our DevOps flow and hosting onto a single platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have moderate DevOps skills, run projects using more than a few frameworks and are looking for one WebOps platform to rule them all then probably should just use Platform.sh
