Amazing CI/CD Solution for the JamStack
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of being able to make adjustments and instantly deploy new versions of prod/dev sites simply by pushing commits to a specific GitHub branch and to have those dev sites online but hidden behind password protection.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the error reporting any failed builds haven't been the as intuative as I'd needed to be, though they had been detailed in their respect.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A seamless solution to updating static websites, both through version control and CMS content deployments.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Their sales and support team are incredibly friendly and will go out of their way to ensure your needs are met. Don't be afraid to reach out for a conversation.

What do you like best about the product?
As of May 2023 I am still impressed with how much you can get from Netlify for free. They integrate well with frameworks like next.js, supporting most/all features as they are released. Netlify functions are flexible, powerful, and available without the hassle of setting up AWS lambdas (which they end up running as IIRC). Edge functions, background functions, and ISR-style on-demand builder functions give me the tools I need to optimize our API and build performance.
I can craft an enterprise-grade solution in place for $0 - I don't even think they have my credit card. This makes things so much simpler and easier to try out, throw away, and eventually scale up.
Netlify's out-of-the-box experience, full feature set, and generous free tier make it my go-to for starting new projects.

Netlify is easy to set up and works well with a lot of frameworks out of the box. Sites start out free which makes learning the platform easy and fun. They release new features regularly, keeping up with the current state of the web. Features like edge functions and (well cached) on-demand builders help to increase the performance and capabilities of the apps we build on the platform.

What do you dislike about the product?
Update May 2023 - below is still accurate, and I still feel a little burned by it, but the issue is probably of little concern to new customers. When it happened, there was quite a fuss in the affected community, so I can only hope that the lessons learned stay with Netlify for a long time.
I don't have many other complaints

Recently, Netlify released a change to their billing structure, along with changes to the deploy workflow which would reject git repo changes from any GitHub user not tied to a Netlify user. This had several implications, the worst of which was the breaking of our workflow for pretty much every site we had set up on Netlify. Furthermore, even if we did ransom out a paid account for each of our developers' GitHub accounts, the maximum number of those accounts was just 7. We have more than seven developers and they move around between many projects.
Netlify ultimately reversed this decision, after considerable community backlash, but the damage is done. Netlify used to be the cool upstart that had a knack for knowing what its developer community needed, now I can't trust them not to randomly screw us over in the name of profit. Every company needs to make money, and honestly, some of Netlify's services are probably undervalued; however, their recent play illustrates a deep lack of understanding of their users, and a propensity towards bait-and-switch tactics that have us seriously considering other services.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most recently, I am working with Netlify as a Freelancer and for prototyping platform/framework products I am building. Much of my perspective comes from this and my previous useage within an agency

(prior)
We are a creative agency that uses Netlify to develop, deploy and host most of our custom-developed websites. We typically use a JAM-oriented stack with Next.js and Sanity.io. These sites rely on Netlify build to build and deploy static assets, Netlify functions to implement the next runtime, and On-demand builders for things like image optimization and caching.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Google around to see how people are feeling about things. This could be the beginning of the end for Netlify, or it could be the impetus for a strengthening of their best qualities and a cautionary tale for their future strategy.
Quick, no nonsense deployment solution for individual and small scale projects
What do you like best about the product?
Netlify allows me to deploy my frontend applications within a few clicks by connecting to version control or by uploading the source code. It requires no extra effort for me to configure pipelines or build commands, since it intelligently makes sense of most of it. At the same time, it is customizable in that it allows me to set environment variables, custom build commands and add ons like SSL. I also get a free subdomain with every site, and can connect domains I own and host them for free
What do you dislike about the product?
There are limits to the use cases that Netlify provides for hosting applications. It lacks almost any support outside static websites or Jam stack. It also has a few build limitations that can get sorta irritating at times, especially when you are a newbie and often make pushes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Netlify to host my website, blog as well as my personal projects, and its quick deployment solution ensures that I can focus on writing code for my websites rather than worry about deployment and build. It is unburderning on the pocket too, since most of my projects fit into the free tier. If Netlify can expand its services to beyond the Jam stack, I am pretty sure it can be the torchbearer for quick deployment solutions
Works reasonably well
What do you like best about the product?
Responds to webhooks to trigger builds. Ability to view build logs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tech support isn't very helpful. I feel like I am on my own.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to deploy either code branches or content manager updates.
Easy to use and free CI/CD platform
What do you like best about the product?
Netlify is an excellent tool for CI/CD ( continuous integration, continuous deployment). Some of the things I like about this service are as follows:-
1. Free Netlify domain with deployment in the free plan
2. Easy to setup pipeline with Github
3. Debugging Logs after each deployment
4. Free Templates!

As an Indian user, I think prices for paid plans are a little too much; I believe UI can be slightly improved. Other than that, I don't think there is any improvement needed!

Nothing to dislike right now. This is the best platform to host static website for free and its response time is very fast because of their use of CDN servers.

Netlify - a easy way to deploy your application
What do you like best about the product?
The netlify is highly under-friendly, with an amazing and smooth UI. The Github, Gitlab, and bitbucket integration make it much better. The interesting and the most amazing thing I like is the DNS Management system.
What do you dislike about the product?
The netlify is very good for deploying static applications, but it won't accept dynamic NodeJs or Python applications. Also, the form collection interface which it gives can be improved a lot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The most amazing problem I am able to solve is deploying static pages, along with data collection forms. The second most interesting feature is about creating new subdomains.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's good if you want to deploy a static website very fastly and continuously. But don't got for it, if you are planning to use NodeJs
