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 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's flexibility is also a major plus, allowing users without a GitHub account to easily deploy projects without facing strict upload limits."
"Netlify Platform has positively impacted my organization by boosting productivity; we can instantly deploy and save time."
"Netlify Platform has significantly saved my time while deploying front-end applications."
"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."
"Netlify Platform has positively impacted my learning by simplifying the learning curve."
"Netlify Platform was very feasible and we did not have to pay a very large sum of money to host our services."
"Netlify Platform has positively impacted my organization because it keeps us able to try MVPs before pushing them to production."
 

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."
"For honest feedback, pricing scales quickly for high-bandwidth projects, and advanced back-end heavy apps sometimes require additional services."
"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."
"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."
"While Netlify Platform mostly works with the front end, I believe it would be better if it provided support for full stack applications, acknowledging the risks and complexities of offering this for free to students."
"The redirect issue is one area that could be improved."
"There could be a simple interface where I can turn on and off CI/CD in a single place on Netlify Platform."
"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."
