"Quick, Easy, and great for simple applications"

4/5

What do you like best about Netlify?

Netlify is really easy to use for straightforward deployments and smaller applications. It's got some really easy features to configure your site, and there's tons of really fantastic presets for single page applications, Gatsby apps, and more.

As a front end developer, Netlify is awesome, and it's really easy to use for just getting a static site, single page app, or small project off the ground and live on the internet. The domain configuration is really easy too. For front end developers that just want to get something out into the world, Netlify is excellent! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Netlify?

For complex applications that require a ton of configuration, microservices, and virtualization, I don't think Netlify would be the best choice. We have some larger applications that make use of virtualization and automation, but we know that this will never be used for it because Netlify is better suited for smaller applications that don't need a ton of configuration.

I do think the user experience could use some work, as I had to call in to get my HTTPS upgrade with let's encrypt validated. It took a little bit to get it there, but their support was really great in handling it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Netlify:

Use Netlify for smaller projects and keep things as simple as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Netlify solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use the free tier of Netlify to host my personal projects, portfolio, and other small applications. We use it at work to host small and simple applications that really don't need a lot of configuration and just act as a single click deploy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Building websites without headaches"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Netlify?

What I love most is how simple it is to push changes. For example, I updated my portfolio with new project screenshots, committed to Git, and Netlify had the new version live almost immediately. I don’t have to touch hosting or SSL certificates which I often struggle, it just works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Netlify?

Sometimes, especially on bigger projects, the free tier can hit limits on build minutes or bandwidth, which slows things down. Also, the error messages aren’t always obvious if something unusual happens during deployment,it took me a couple of tries to figure out a domain redirect issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Netlify solving and how is that benefiting you?

Netlify solves the headaches of manual deployment and server management. Before, I had to spend hours configuring hosting, SSL, and deployment scripts for my portfolio and small web apps. Now, I can push changes from git and the site updates automatically. It saves me a lot of time, and I can focus on designing and building the actual projects. I built a reading diary app and a portfolio site in just a few days, something that would have taken me much longer before Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Deployments and Hosting with Great Developer Experience"

5/5

What do you like best about Netlify?

My most preferred aspect of Netlify is that static sites and JAMstack sites become deployable with a one-button click or simply a push to Git. The automated/continuous deployment from Git is smooth and all the built-in features like forms, serverless functions, redirects, and preview branches simplifies the development process. The dashboard is simple to work around and the free plan is surprisingly large and reduces the time for code and preview. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Netlify?

Netlify is good for the front-end and static websites, but there are some limits for more complex backend functionality. Lacks the logs to resolve the issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Netlify solving and how is that benefiting you?

Netlify simplifies hosting and launching modern web applications. I need not toworry about the servers, set up the CI/CD pipelines manually, nor concern myself with hosting. It automatically deploys and builds whenever I commit code by tying into Git. This is a significant time-saver and enables me to spend more time building rather than doing DevOps. Serverless functions, rollbacks that roll out speedily, and preview deployments are things that have automated my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless and Powerful Hosting for Modern Web Projects"

5/5

What do you like best about Netlify?

Netlify’s simplicity and power are unmatched. Its seamless CI/CD integration makes deploying websites and web apps incredibly straightforward, even for beginners, making the ease of implementation outstanding. The intuitive dashboard, paired with preview links, has streamlined my workflow for frequent deployments. Netlify’s support team is responsive and helpful, providing clear solutions to issues, which adds to the overall positive experience. The platform’s reliability means we use it frequently for a variety of projects, from small prototypes to full-scale web apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Netlify?

While Netlify is fantastic overall, the free plan has limitations on build minutes and bandwidth, which can be restrictive for scaling projects. The pricing for higher tiers can also feel steep for smaller teams or individual developers. Additionally, more advanced documentation for less common use cases would be helpful for more niche implementations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Netlify solving and how is that benefiting you?

Netlify makes deploying static websites and web apps effortless by automating the entire hosting process. It eliminates the complexity of manual deployments and server management, enabling me to focus on development. The instant previews and continuous deployment from Git save time and ensure a seamless workflow. Additionally, the platform provides excellent performance and scalability for my projects without requiring extensive backend setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless content aggregation from multiple sources"

5/5

What do you like best about Netlify?

Makes it easy to connect multiple sources and display it on your Netlify site. Strong compatibility with leading CMS solutions, including WordPress, Shopify, Drupal, etc. Strong caching mechanisms ensure that content is delivered quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Netlify?

Requires the site to be hosted on Netlify; can't be used as a standalone content aggregation service. Not a self-serve solution; must contact Netlify to set up a plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Netlify Connect enables the implementation and production of high quality, accessible websites which are easy to use, and with the use of Git to manage changes in a manner that does not require much customer support.

The interface it provides to work with is cluttered and overwhelming. Some updates can be made to improve on that to provide a client friendly workspace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
