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 significantly reduced the time spent managing infrastructure in my projects, and being able to spin up the pages from GitHub quite quickly has also helped me to spin up small servers in a timely manner."
"Netlify Platform has positively impacted my organization and projects because it made things easier."
"Time saved is exponential because the amount of work that gets done in a sprint is accelerated because of Netlify Platform."
"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."
"The main feature I love about Netlify Platform is that when we face errors during the build process, we can get help from Netlify AI, which makes solving build problems very comfortable."
"Netlify Platform has positively impacted my organization by significantly improving deployment time and providing general users with easy access to deployment."
"I really love Netlify Platform, and I improved my Netlify Platform skills when I built the website front end."
"Netlify Platform makes hosting free, so I feel my expenses have been saved by using Netlify Platform."
 

Cons

"They could add more intelligence features in the workflow through automation."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Netlify Platform's customer support is a bit slow."
"Recently in a school, they used Netlify Platform free to host the attendance management system, which was used by over close to five thousand students. As soon as the link was dropped for all five thousand students, it immediately crashed."
"Netlify Platform could be improved for beginners."
