Fast and efficient for html websites
What do you like best about the product?
Automated site deploys from Github make it really easy to deploy your site. Simply push onto the correct branch and it magically deploys. You can go onto a console to see exactly what is happening with the deploy but I usually dont need to do that as it just works. Deploys usually take under a minute to get from my development machine to live in production.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am using hugo with netlify which requires a greater level of technical skill than wordpress but it builds fast sites.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We moved our site from wordpress and its now a lot quicker.
Overpriced, terrible service
What do you like best about the product?
Netlify as a CMS is great. My dev team loves it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Customer service is horrible. And amidst COVID-19, just after announcing a massive round of funding, Netlify isn't doing anything to help their clients. Their recent change in pricing structure is not scalable, they're not flexible, and again, the customer service is terrible. Last year, they promised 50 builds per minute and our account never performed based on how we paid. Overall, we're looking for a new solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Integrates well with GitHub, but lots of platforms like Netlify do
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Know that it's expensive and comes with little to no support, slow responses times (sometimes you don't ever get one). Their contracts aren't clear and they don't fulfill them.
Netlify, The Amazing Static Host
What do you like best about the product?
Netlify gives generous limits on its free tier. It is enough to run a small or even medium business for free. They provide a lot of value added offerings as well, like Lambda's, Form submissions and even per Request Analytics. Not only that, but they also let you use free offerings like Formspree or Auth0 if you don't want to use their built-in platform. It even gives you a complete build pipeline to push your builds into for free! Although there are limits, it would still allow you to build an average site everyday of the month without hitting the caps. If that weren't enough, you have access to webhooks so that you can do a conditional build, respond form submissions and other stuff. This is a solid platform that needs to be recognized for its excellence, did I mention free SSL and Custom Domains on the free tier! If that weren't enough, you can also control the headers like CSP, Redirects and others.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, there is not much to dislike. The documentation can be a bit vague around events like Form Submissions or Functions in general, but if your familiar with AWS Lambda's it's not that big a problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am providing small to medium-sized businesses free to low-cost website hosting on this platform. I have several templates to draw from and I get amazing results on this host due to their integration into Cloud Front. Teamed up with Cloudinary, it is a killer Cloud-Native platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have or are building a static website. Netlify is definitely the way to go. The features of the Free Tier are amazing, especially when other PaaS products are used.
Plan suddenly downgraded to starter without warnings, emails, or any communication from Netlify
What do you like best about the product?
The product is relatively easy to use and has team support.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've been a paid Netlify customer for the past year. All of a sudden, Netlify decided that I'm not a paid subscriber / account and downgraded me to a Starter Package. I can't seem to add teammates (or do much of anything with my account).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simple deployment for static sites
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure that you understand they can yank your plan anytime without warning - Consider using an alternative. I'm still searching for alternatives right now.
Review for Netify
What do you like best about the product?
Netify sends you a notification whenever your phone switches network types, to keep you updated on the type of network you are connected to. It's also ad free which people love.
What do you dislike about the product?
You can also copy and share the Netify Log with the developer or with your friends. But that is ad free so unless you are one of those people who doesn't like to share then who cares.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Netify 1.1.0 now has translation of languages for people I have to deal with in multiple languages. Now they can translate that with the new option. It has been beneficial for my company.
Simple to use
What do you like best about the product?
I love about Netlify that you can customize your domains with http and it does work for you when it comes to handling reviews and deploying previews.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its quite pricy and it is hard to convince companies to start using it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The technical team can easily handle the web development and setup.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
IT companies that rely a lot on the web development should consider the software because it makes life easier.
Creating new websites with Netlify
What do you like best about the product?
Accumulated and very useful features in one central place for site maintenance.
What do you dislike about the product?
some functions are still on testing or beta.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
for small and even medium-sized web projects, Intuitive and simple to use
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very flexible
Best execution of cloud static hosting
What do you like best about the product?
I was able to run numerous small projects without additional cost and global cdn deployment cannot be easier than Netlify.
What do you dislike about the product?
Other than static serving, dynamic processing (server functions) is kinda tricky. Compared to now.sh, it’s little bit difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There are a lot of times when small, https-protected mini-websites/services are needed while doing business. Netlify solves that niche area and also, great for small, personal projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is the best kind of service but in a very niche area.
Free and simple hosting for static sites
What do you like best about the product?
My personal portfolio site is simple enough that I don't really want to pay for hosting. Netlify works great for this, I'm able to upload a zip folder with an index.html file inside and it is instantly online. I can also choose to connect a custom domain for free, which is great for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not able to push updates by uploading a ZIP folder from my phone. The only way you can do it is by dragging the folder, which I can't do from my phone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to push updates to static websites at an unprecedented scale (either by the web upload or by automatic deploys through GitHub).
I have so many great things to say about this company.
What do you like best about the product?
You get a lot ( A LOT) just out of the free plan. The connection between developer tools is seamless. Connecting your custom domain and getting sub-domains takes less than 5 minutes to set up. I could launch a website with Netlify faster than you can make a cup of coffee. Netlify forms is a blessing and being able to create links for each branch... ummm that's unbelievable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only because I have a strong design background, I do with the UI was a tad better. That's only me being picky. Otherwise this product is so good. Nothing to dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
TIME SAVER! I no longer have to spend an entire week working on devOps stuff. This really gives your developers super powers. Front End Developers are becoming more and more powerful with tools like these. I get prototypes shipped a lot faster and I actually enjoy my job when I get to work with Netlify.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Let your developers use Netlify. They will be so much happier and you will get to see updates a lot faster. You can actually set up a live prod environment when building, so reduce room for error. It seriously the best.
