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.

"Netlify Platform has positively impacted my learning by simplifying the learning curve."
"The best part is having 500 web apps for free with support for almost all major frameworks."
"Netlify Platform has supported my journey and has been a great source of support for my journey because as a newbie, I used Netlify Platform for free while I was learning."
"Netlify Platform has positively impacted my organization. It has saved me a significant amount of time, especially with its integration to AI."

Cons

"They could add more intelligence features in the workflow through automation."
"Netlify Platform's customer support is a bit slow."
"The pricing of Netlify Platform is acceptable for beginners but can become costly for intermediate users, as it can be high when CPU usage goes beyond a certain amount."
"The one reason I am not giving Netlify Platform a perfect rating is that I miss the guide to deploy code using Git."
"Netlify Platform could be improved for beginners."
"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."
"For personal use, I have used Netlify Platform and have saved time. However, I do not think there was any learning involved because I was not able to build that project or manage the configuration for deployment."
"Sometimes, build times can be slow for larger projects, and better build optimization or caching controls would help."
"While it also helps with backend deployment, it is not as scalable as AWS or Azure, and I would love to see and explore more features in the future around it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The additional cost is cloud storage, which the public cloud provider charges."
