Netlify Reviews: 4.5/5 — Highly Rated

Netlify allows new users to setup their hosting withing a few minutes with easy to use interface and a detailed documentation. Additionally the free plan is more than enough for most users.

Nothing as such to dislike but for more advanced users more flexibility on configuration can be provided.

Fore most people setting up servers and hosting is a tough task which is reduced by use of netlify that allows website hosting in few minutes.

Netlify makes it easy to deploy websites. The integration of GitHub is probably the best feature I like. Just develop a React-based project and you can easily deploy it using Netlify. And whenever you make changes in your repository, they will be automatically deployed on Netlify.

The Content Management System (CMS) requires a lot of improvement. Unlike other CMS, a developer is required to add every block to edit content, which can be painful.

I don't have to worry about deploying my site manually. The changes I make in my GitHub repository will be deployed directly on Netlify, and it is a huge benefit for me.

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.

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.

A seamless solution to updating static websites, both through version control and CMS content deployments.

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

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

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

I like the best which day offer is if you drop down your folder with your HTML CSS JavaScript code and attach files it will automatically detect that cold and turn it into a website and host it on this servers.

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.

I used this platform to host my static website for free and to check all the parameters are working as i want them to or not. I used this for HTML CSS react website.

It is pretty easy to use, and even a new user can use it for deployment with simple steps. The process is also speedy, less expensive solution and you can also update the stuff without any problem.

There is nothing that I dislike about this product, It's a great product very speedy, user - friendly and easy to access. There is no disadvantge of using this product.

I am using it to deploy my app and host it. It is beneficial for me now people can access my app from anywhere. Now, I can showcase my skills to everyone without any delay.

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.

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.

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.

Netlify really streamlines the process of getting the latest builds out to QA or automated testing, as well as allowing developers to see their code being deployed to an environment where it can be used.

There isn't anythign that I would say that I dislike about the netlify process. They have so many solutions and plugins it's honestly difficult to figure out where it is lacking.

We're currently solving automating our build and deployment processes for ease of use for User acceptance testing, general qa testing and developer based testing.

The most helpful and upsides of using Netlify are easy hostings of most static websites for free which help most of the Beginners for Web Development and it will auto develop the code with the GitHub repository.

The least helpful and downside of using Netlify are there are some problems in hosting JavaScript Libraries like React, Next js, and Other. Because there are Build and Bandwidth Limits which is very difficult.

The Business Problems I have solved are easily available Custom Domain Linking and easily keeping SSL certificates and can have Environment Variables for some Client-side render and Server-side rendering for Javascript Libraries.

The best thing is it allows us to host unlimited sites without any charges. The free tier is sufficient enough to host a small traffic website without any charges. Netlify Function is the next big thing here. I have used it to automate many of my programs, you can use it as a bot to perform a lot of tasks. Netlify Forms is again a better way to handle the form submission on your websites, it is the simplest solution i have used.

Not much to dislike in Netlify, but one thing which might be improved is the ability to host node js sites, as that can open it to more complex projects. Limit for form submission can be another thing to be improved, as 100 is too low.

I have used it to host my personal website, with free SSL, which is such a sweet deal. I have also utilized Netlify Functions to host several of my bots connected to slack and telegram for free.

The main thing I like in netlify is its continuous auto integration of dynamic builds from github, bitbucket or anyother version control systems.

Not found anything yet. Even the docs are also great for beginners.

I am using netlify to host development builds of all the client projects in my company.

How quick it is to setup and get deployments running, as well as the features and settings available out of the gate (like custom domain names)

They don't offer an SSR option (at least for Vue/Nuxt)

I'm using Netlify for SSG of Nuxt websites but starting to use them for other types of sites as well. The deployment speed from start to finish and the ease of use really sold me.

Netlify offer the CI solution with github integration, also the possibility to add forms backend less. I love also the different integration possibilities like with Contentful, slack,... And all this with a small price

I think the fact that you need to pay for an extra collaborators

Netlify offers a complete solution. I use it for all my react projects. It helps me to save a lot of time

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

I am using hugo with netlify which requires a greater level of technical skill than wordpress but it builds fast sites.

We moved our site from wordpress and its now a lot quicker.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Accumulated and very useful features in one central place for site maintenance.

some functions are still on testing or beta.

for small and even medium-sized web projects, Intuitive and simple to use

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.

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.

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.

Free static site hosting with free custom domains and HTTPS support. They even give you free continuous builds and deployment.

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.

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.

Mainly the ease of getting started and the ease of use.

The pricing model, specifically I don't think the pricing should be user based.

Easy hosting for DNS and websites.

Since I started using Github Pages I've been looking for other services to deploy static websites and Netlify is one of the best products I've found. Super easy to setup (and I don't have technical background) and their free tier is awesome. I've used Netlify for a personal project and at work as well. I needed to create a simple website to manage some content and serve as Landing Page for an event and in one morning I could make it available for the public to access. Awesome.

The one thing I missed was a way to automatically deploy and update the website whenever I made a change. But it might be something I was missing and didn't not know how to configure. I had to run a command to deploy it, not sure there was another way to do it. It was a problema because the other people on our team didn't not know how to do it.

We had a small marketing team and we were on a short budget so we had to find a way to launch some landing pages and manage some content without spending too much. Netlify was perfect because I just needed to create a simple template using bootstrap, attaching to it a form from our marketing automation software and publish it on Netlify. It was flexible enough because I could use my own templates and I could use their free tier to do it. Great for a team that is short in budget.

The ability to automatically optimise assets for our project.

netlify limiting the bandwidth and getting with a high price

Fast to build ,

The platform is easy to use and you have great flexibility. It is an open source project, so there is great potential for improvements in the future. Their static page scaling feature provides a convenient interface for editing our content. The ability to run the CMS without any backend server or service. It allows me to use Git as a backend service for my CMS, which reduces costs and increases simplicity for me and my clients.

The documentation was a bit difficult. Some features are missing compared to the full CMS. The authentication settings for the administrator are a bit confusing at times.

Netlify CMS allows you to create/edit these custom files without having to use a code editor or know about GitHub pull requests or anything else. I am able to save a lot of time by letting my clients edit their own websites instead of having to do it all myself. If you are looking for a static website solution that works right out of the box. It's still a good choice for anyone working on a smaller project.

It is very easy to get the static website deployed - can be integrated with other repository-hosting platforms such as GitHub. On the push of code, the live website gets deployed automatically.

It would have been better if we could have a similar experience in deploying dynamic websites - the current platforms for deploying dynamic websites are not as good as Netlify.

These are the problems that Netlify is solving: - Any static website can be deployed by just pushing code to the repository. - Pre-merging checks and deployment can be done without additional effort, that helps the developers ensure that bugs are not introduced in a new patch.

Netlify is everything you need to deploy a static site, whether HTML only or based on a framework like Hugo or Gatsby. Netlify has many additional services that can make a static website more dynamic like Netlify CMS, Identity, Forms, or Functions.

The pricing is not as flexible as I would've hoped. The free plan is generous, but if you need anything more, you'll have to pay 20 USD per month, even if you need slightly increased build limits. Also, self-hosted GitLab or GitHub Enterprise instances are supported only on the business and enterprise plans.

Netlify is our web hosting, CDN and CI/CD provider. We're using Netlify to deploy and manage websites and web applications using Netlify build. Netlify also allows us to use a social content management system for static websites - Netlify CMS.

Trial Opportunity given to first time users

Limited Linking Sources for retrieving Website files

Cloud website hosting platform problems.It affords me the opportunity to link showcase my work e.g my portfolio projects easily

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!

We are looking for CI/CD solution for our web app, and Netlify works excellent! some of the benefits are as follows 1. Easy to use compare to other services 2. Good admin panel for controlling things!

The thing I like most about it is its simplicity and ability to easily integrate with Github. It is quite simple to use.

The only one thing I dislike is that sometime their CDN become slow.

We are using it to host our site and integrating with Github
