Since this a tutorial: Platforms are fragile. Creeper on void will destroy platforms much faster than most other units and any units sitting on the platform will also be destroyed. I recommend placing a cannon, a mortar, and a sniper onto every platform and alternate between mortars and missile launchers for the 4th slot.
I've also occasionally built a M-rift on a platform. Useful if a platform is in a series of platforms where one of them might get disconnected from the tower/pylon network (e.g. skimmer stun or an intermediate platform gets destroyed). Doing that saved my bacon at one point.
In general, platforms are too expensive to be useful on most maps. It's usually better to use Porters and get a M-rift up and running.
