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."
"Time saved is exponential because the amount of work that gets done in a sprint is accelerated because of Netlify Platform."
"The best part is having 500 web apps for free with support for almost all major frameworks."
"Netlify Platform makes hosting free, so I feel my expenses have been saved by using Netlify Platform."
"The main benefit of the projects I have deployed using Netlify Platform is the ease and simplicity of the process."
"Netlify Platform positively impacts my project by making updates easier and saving time."
"The ease and the speed of having your project live and in real time in a few minutes is what makes Netlify Platform stand out."
"I appreciate Netlify Platform for its UI and UX, and security protocols, which are the best features of Netlify Platform."
"Netlify Platform saved me a significant amount of time; manual deployment would have taken me around three to four hours, but Netlify Platform helped me do it in around twenty minutes."
 

Cons

"They could add more intelligence features in the workflow through automation."
"The cold start latency of Netlify functions was somewhat lacking based on my experience."
"Netlify Platform could be improved for beginners."
"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."
"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 Web Development Cloud does have limitations as it is not suitable for back-end heavy or long-running server applications, and its free tier imposes usage limits on bandwidth, build minutes, and functions, with advanced features such as analytics and background functions being paid features while offering limited infrastructure-level customization compared to container-based platforms which can be more restrictive for large-scale or enterprise applications."
"Netlify Platform can be improved because the free version has many limitations; for example, I really want to have the analytics part, but they are not providing it and are pushing me to buy the subscription, which is a painful moment."
"I think Netlify Platform can be improved by allowing more people to use it, so we can get a lot of good websites deployed on Netlify Platform, and then peer-to-peer, we can enhance our own projects accordingly."
"The one reason I am not giving Netlify Platform a perfect rating is that I miss the guide to deploy code using Git."
