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."
"The main benefit of the projects I have deployed using Netlify Platform is the ease and simplicity of the process."
"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 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."
"For me, the best feature that I see on Netlify Platform is the serverless functions."
"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."
"The best features Netlify Platform offers include a seamless deployment experience, server functions, great performance, and CDN."
"Netlify Platform has positively impacted my learning by simplifying the learning curve."
"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."
 

Cons

"They could add more intelligence features in the workflow through automation."
"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."
"I think one of the things I would love to be improved on Netlify Platform is the build times. I feel the build time sometimes takes a while and is kind of slow."
"For honest feedback, pricing scales quickly for high-bandwidth projects, and advanced back-end heavy apps sometimes require additional services."
"Netlify Platform could be improved for beginners."
"However, they just get more errors because my local setup differs from their local setup, so we have more errors and need to level up to go live."
"Netlify Platform's customer support is a bit slow."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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