Makes it easy to connect domains and I like the user experience
If you're not using Edge Functions, Vercel only allows 20 seconds of streaming from the backend. They should allow more time for backend streaming without Edge Functions. This is one thing that Vercel can improve. I would like more time allowed for backend streaming. If you have a chatbot with text streaming, like ChatGPT, and you're not using the Edge router or Edge Functions, Vercel cuts off streaming after 10 seconds. The backend server without Edge Functions shuts down if it processes for more than 10 seconds.

Has saved time during website building and helps maintain a professional look
The mobile view needs to be fixed when reviewing on the desktop to show what it actually displays on the phone. There were a couple of small bugs which I think they fixed. Sometimes when dragging and dropping things into place, they would snap into place, and then after saving and checking the live page, it would not quite match what was showing in the website builder. I would have to go back in and move it to the right and then snap it back for it to work. Sometimes doing exactly the same thing when building requires one or two attempts to get it to reflect what you want to see on the live page.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The tool is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Vercel is the custom domain."
"I think the speed of the tool is good."
"The solution's most valuable features are its response time and performance."
"I like Vercel because it is very easy to use and deploy. Unlike Firebase, which can be complex to understand, Vercel is straightforward. It also allows you to easily enable analytics, check page speed, and manage SEO meta tags. You can also share the deployment directly. The solution is also beginner-friendly."
"Vercel provides a better user experience and easier deployment than other platforms."
"Vercel provides hands-on experience they provide for hosting services. Initially, we started with hosting, and I found it impressive that Vercel identifies even minor issues in your project that might prevent your website from being hosted correctly. For example, if there is a small problem in your front end, Vercel will notify you that your site hasn’t been hosted yet and provide the specific file and line number where the issue is occurring. It is definitely an easy tool to use. It provides clear instructions on how to handle everything, even if you're not very familiar with coding. It has a seamless integration with GitHub. We connected our private repository to Vercel, and it directly indicates any issues with the website whenever we commit code. Even if we've done all the changes and committed to the repo, Vercel lets us know about any flaws that would prevent the website from functioning fully. Once the final commit happens, Vercel gives a green tick, indicating no issues. It was a very easy and good experience, with great integration with other tools."
"It was a very easy and good experience, with great integration with other tools."
"Basic features can be grasped in a couple of hours because it's CMS-based with all tools readily available."
"I found everything okay in Wix, and it's easy to create a website."
"Wix has actually reduced my time in developing or delivering a website to the client, so I can have more clients in the pipeline."
"I like the solution's responsiveness, usability, and user interface."
"The biggest advantages are that it is inexpensive and very easy to use, which means I can spend less time building the website and more time working."
"The return on investment with Wix is excellent because hosting a website costs around 4,000 to 5,000 Indian Rupees, equivalent to $50 a year, I have access to all tools and functionalities, and I can generate as much sales as I want through Wix."
 

Cons

"Personally, I don't like this shift because it reduces scalability and the ability to create unique, customized experiences."
"The product's build time needs enhancement. It currently takes up to four minutes to build my projects for every deployment, which is lengthy."
"Vercel cannot handle big projects like shopping applications."
"What I could feel is that it should have some work for when we commit some type of error."
"Vercel does have certain limitations regarding the app's size and scalability."
"I encountered an error in Vercel's routing in the React.js projects."
"If you're not using Edge Functions, Vercel only allows 20 seconds of streaming from the backend. They should allow more time for backend streaming without Edge Functions. This is one thing that Vercel can improve."
"Initially, Vercel was great for hosting projects built with frameworks like Next.js or React.js, with NPM or Node.js as the backend. Now, they seem to be expanding into offering templates and ready-made front-end and back-end setups, making it possible to host a website without writing any code. Personally, I don't like this shift because it reduces scalability and the ability to create unique, customized experiences. Code is essential, and moving towards more user-friendly, code-free tools might limit deeper development possibilities."
"The solution’s scalability can be improved."
"When it comes to drag and drop, it sometimes creates problems when the size is not compatible."
"Wix has drawbacks regarding website optimization and speed."
"The Wix editor can sometimes be glitched or buggy and requires a significant amount of memory on my computer."
"There are a few bugs where what it says it will show on the phone versus the laptop does not always match."
"Wix is quite slow. When I use Wix, it's a bit slower than Shopify."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive for React projects."
"I haven't paid for the solution yet. You need to pay to invite team members."
"It's quite expensive for enterprise use, but it's worth the price."
"I use the solution's free version."
"Vercel is basically free. It's free of cost for new developers."
"If I cross the free version, I have heard from some people that the billing can be expensive."
"Most of the product features are free, which is quite advantageous."
"I'm a free user."
"Wix is an affordable solution."
