Acquia is an enterprise digital experience platform built on Drupal, offering CMS, DAM, hosting, and AI content tools. See features, pricing, and pros/cons.
Acquia is the enterprise digital experience platform (DXP) co-founded in 2007 by Dries Buytaert, creator of the open-source Drupal CMS, and now majority-owned by Vista Equity Partners since 2019. The company serves over 4,500 organizations, including Fortune 500 brands, government agencies, universities, and healthcare systems such as Dana-Farber, Bayer, AB InBev, Mars, Crayola, and Shake Shack. At its core, Acquia offers a Drupal-exclusive cloud hosting platform (Acquia Cloud Platform) with a 99.95% uptime SLA and FedRAMP/HIPAA compliance, alongside Acquia Source, a CMS workspace that pairs content authoring with AI agents and human-in-the-loop governance. The broader product suite extends into digital asset management (Acquia DAM), multi-site management (Acquia Site Factory), product information management for ecommerce (Acquia PIM), customer data (Acquia CDP), multichannel marketing automation (Acquia Campaign Studio), personalization and conversion testing, and web governance/accessibility tooling. Acquia positions itself around an open, composable architecture with 280+ pre-built integrations and native support for MCP-compatible AI agents (Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot), targeting enterprises that need to manage large, complex, security-sensitive web properties on Drupal rather than proprietary CMS platforms.
