Rapid prototypes have accelerated my web app demos and streamlined real-time feature testing
There could be a simple interface where I can turn on and off CI/CD in a single place on Netlify Platform. Right now I have to go to each and every instance that I'm using and get into the settings and turn on and off that auto-deployment mode or all of that becomes a little time-taking. Since I know the user interface, it's easy for me, but for newcomers, going into that granular level of control might be on the higher side. It will take a lot of time. If there could have a kind of dashboard where I can pause the CI/CD for each product or for each project instance, that will be better. The free tier of Netlify Platform itself is enough for most of the users. If at all they want to do more, they could increase the free tier limit. Currently it's around 300 minutes per month. If they could increase it or set a daily limit, that will be better instead of setting a monthly limit. Most of the times I lose track of how much I have used this.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The platform's most effective feature is quickly recovering virtual instances into a separate environment."
"Netlify Platform has significantly saved my time while deploying front-end applications."
"Netlify Platform has positively impacted my organization and projects because it made things easier."
"I really recommend Netlify Platform, and I am advising my friends to use it for their web development, especially for the front-end side."
"Netlify Platform has positively impacted my projects and workflow because I am using it for multiple projects, and the folks who are using my project really love it and get curious every time about how I am using and deploying the projects, which gives a good feeling that really helps."
"Netlify Platform has positively impacted my work and projects because it saved my sanity."
"Netlify Platform has positively impacted my organization by making deployments very easy and faster, allowing us to host and route applications to specific domains, access our repositories easily, and identify project issues before deployment, such as when someone mistakenly pushes their secret keys."
"Overall, Netlify Platform is a very developer-friendly platform that simplifies front-end deployment and hosting."
"Netlify Platform has positively impacted my organization by cleaning up our workflows when I was working at Phazero, increasing the quality of our products so the designer and testers would immediately see a feature as soon as it's ready, making our workflows more relaxed, reducing bugs significantly throughout the sprint, and making both the client and the team much happier due to faster deployments and higher-quality releases."
 

Cons

"They could add more intelligence features in the workflow through automation."
"For a first-time visitor to Netlify Platform, I actually had to check a tutorial on YouTube on how I can upload things and deploy them."
"I wish Netlify Platform had given me more options to deploy other platforms, other things that Netlify Platform does not currently support, such as Node.js applications or Java-based back-end applications or real-time applications."
"I think it should integrate a specific front-end or back-end, and it could connect with other deploying platforms, which could bring some benefit of hosting a back-end on another website and deploying a front-end on another website."
"The only thing I really do not like about Netlify Platform is that when I look up an article, there is a lot of fluff instead of easily searchable content."
"There could be a simple interface where I can turn on and off CI/CD in a single place on Netlify Platform."
"When deploying my applications on Netlify Platform, I face some problems like environment variables, especially when I connect my web-based project to my database, and when I have to deploy a full stack web application, then I face a lot of issues regarding those variables, but for front-end, it runs smoothly."
"For honest feedback, pricing scales quickly for high-bandwidth projects, and advanced back-end heavy apps sometimes require additional services."
"One area that could be improved in Netlify Platform is pricing for advanced features and bandwidth, which can be expensive for small projects or startups."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
