Tool for empowered dev teams
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite thing about Netlify is the ease of integration with any GitHub repository, it only takes developer a few clicks, and his CI/CD environment is ready. It enabled my team with fast builds, and awesome features like build previews upon pull requests. That saved a large amount of time when reviewing my colleague's code. Also, Netlify functions enabled us to have smaller server-side code helpers developing and running very easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
Publishing branch deploy will publish that build as it was master, not regarding my subdomain. It would be much better if the branch publishes could only reflect on the branch subdomain. Also, in the past, we had situations where our packages were not always updated and package.json and package-lock.json files weren't regarded, we contacted the support and they manually cleared out the cache on our build, but soon after that package updates were working as expected.
The most frustrating thing happened with some occasional downtimes when clients are expecting our products to be online, and the only thing we can do is wait and hope Netlify teams fix it soon. Lately, downtimes are quite rare.
When it comes to the product design, Netlify's latest front page UI seems kind of odd, and in contrast with the dashboard and I don't like it that light.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Without Netlify we had to set up a Linux server to host our frontend app and then create a Jenkins build to automatically deploy on any merge to master or staging branch. Netlify simplified a whole lot of work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Save your time and yourself from frustration managing various Jenkins builds. Set up your Netlify builds in a matter of minutes and forget about it. Use Slack notifications for build alerts and enjoy.
Excellent application, easy to use and with a great support team
What do you like best about the product?
It is relatively easy to use, it has good documentation and in general, it just works. It's excellent for rapid prototyping and it has a very helpful support team. I usually use it in combination with GitHub and I find this combination to be powerful enough to keep coming back to it. To add custom domains it's a breeze as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price is to high for certain use cases, for example for single sites that need registration. Also, the build minutes metric adds useless complexity to the pricing structure. Also, the Netlify CMS looks like an unfinished product (even for an opensource project).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to set up simple websites fast, mostly by using the GitHub integration for running static sites built with Gatsby.js. It's a simple workflow that can help lunch products fast.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Great static hosting with very generous free tier
What do you like best about the product?
Free static site hosting with free custom domains and HTTPS support. They even give you free continuous builds and deployment.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found anything about Netlify that I don't like so far. Keep in mind that it is for static sites only - though they just recently started supporting lambda functions as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I host most of my personal and business sites on Netlify because it is so easy to use. It has features that some other free static site hosts lack, such as custom redirect and HTTP header support.
Netlify - great step up from AWS S3 + CloudFront
What do you like best about the product?
Mainly the ease of getting started and the ease of use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing model, specifically I don't think the pricing should be user based.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy hosting for DNS and websites.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd definitely give them a try. They have a free account, so there isn't much of a reason not to. They have a very nice DNS management that beats the DNS provided by your Domain registrar. Additionally, they site hosting capabilities can be connected to your Git repository. This is really nice.
