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 positively impacted my organization by significantly improving deployment time and providing general users with easy access to deployment."
"Netlify Platform positively impacts my project by making updates easier and saving time."
"Netlify Platform has positively impacted my organization because the entire CI/CD pipeline in place becomes very easy to manage using Netlify."
"If others are looking into using Netlify Platform, I would advise that if you do not have crazy technical requirements, it is a very good option."
"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 is a great cloud computing platform designed to simplify the development, deployment, and scaling of modern applications, so it is very good for beginners, especially."
"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."
"The most important benefit of Netlify Platform for my organization is that it is cost-effective; I can share my code and deploy my applications free of cost without having to spend any money, and most importantly, I don't have to purchase my domains, which is very beneficial for myself and my students."
 

Cons

"They could add more intelligence features in the workflow through automation."
"The redirect issue is one area that could be improved."
"For honest feedback, pricing scales quickly for high-bandwidth projects, and advanced back-end heavy apps sometimes require additional services."
"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."
"Nothing was missing, but the one point missing for it to reach a perfect score is more about the expectation that every day companies, especially technology companies, bring new updates and new improvements."
"The one needed improvement I think for Netlify Platform is the way that it ties into GitHub's apps. I have done it a couple of different times and each time I have to re-learn how to do it, which was a little frustrating at best."
"Netlify Platform could be improved if they hosted their independent services apart from GitHub."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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