Automated deployments have simplified portfolio updates and have reduced manual pipeline work
For the improvements in Netlify Platform, I think it should focus on better marketing because competitors like Vercel and others are present in the market. While Netlify Platform looks clean, neat, and enhanced, it should do better marketing, as it is actually recommended by ChatGPT for small-sized projects. I believe it should also be suggested for larger projects and promoted more so that Netlify Platform is used by multiple people; it should be the go-to cloud environment. I think the technical side of Netlify Platform can improve, especially in the documentation. They can add more information about new frameworks as they come into the platform or market. They should maintain a troubleshooting page on Netlify Platform docs that comprehensively shows all the steps. Adding more user-friendly animations or navigation would make the platform easier. Moreover, with the documentation, it currently shows all the tabs at one place, and the customer should understand what each use is without having to click into it. They should support more old frameworks as well, to increase the range of utilizations since mostly old frameworks are still in the market, prompting more users to migrate to Netlify Platform.

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 because the entire CI/CD pipeline in place becomes very easy to manage using Netlify."
"Netlify Platform has improved our deployment speed and reliability, reduces manual deployment efforts and minimizes configuration issues, makes our release cycles faster, and allows developers to focus more on development instead of infrastructure."
"The best thing Netlify Platform has done for me is that it gives me velocity, taking away all the burden and time-consuming processes so I can move fast."
"Netlify Platform has positively impacted my organization and personal projects by making it easy for me to deploy my personal portfolio website without doing all the DevOps and CI/CD pipeline myself."
"Netlify Platform makes hosting free, so I feel my expenses have been saved by using Netlify Platform."
"My main reason for preference over competitors like GitHub Pages and Vercel is its seamless integration with GitHub, where I can deploy directly from my development IDE using CLI commands, making it more efficient without having to manually link things."
"Netlify Platform has positively impacted my organization and my work by making it much easier to deploy projects compared to other platforms where deploying even a small web project can be difficult."
"Netlify Platform has positively impacted both my organization and personal projects."
 

Cons

"They could add more intelligence features in the workflow through automation."
"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."
"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."
"The one reason I am not giving Netlify Platform a perfect rating is that I miss the guide to deploy code using Git."
"Sometimes, build times can be slow for larger projects, and better build optimization or caching controls would help."
"Upon preliminary review, the pricing appeared somewhat higher. However, corporations may not hesitate to purchase at that price point, and some personal creators who are emerging might find the pricing somewhat higher than expected."
"While Netlify Platform is great for deploying web projects, I believe there is room for improvement to make it more scalable, allowing users to deploy not only web projects but also more complex projects such as those built with the MERN stack or full stack projects."
"I think the technical side of Netlify Platform can improve, especially in the documentation."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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