DevPanel vs Acquia
DevPanel vs Acquia
Compare Acquia's enterprise Drupal platform on AWS with DevPanel's model for operating Drupal inside the customer's own cloud account.
Reviewed
Both models can use modern cloud infrastructure. The ownership model is different.
The relevant DevPanel argument is not that Acquia uses obsolete technology.
It is that DevPanel is designed to operate applications inside a cloud account controlled by the customer.
Acquia's value
Acquia offers an established enterprise Drupal ecosystem, managed platform services, support, and related digital-experience products.
That integrated model can suit organizations that want a large vendor to package the platform relationship.
