Web Developer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I cannot imagine using anything other than Netlify" May 6, 2020 5.0 With the right development flow, Netlify, along with its CMS, can allow you to go from blank page to a fully editable site in a matter of minutes Pros Netlify is honestly one of the best services I have ever used. It actually makes developing static sites an enjoyable experience. Automatic deploys, SSL, A/B tests, form handling, preview deploys, analytics, to name just a few of the features that I now take for granted Cons I suppose if you have a large team who need to access sites, or sites which have a very high bandwidth usage, the service could get costly, but the free tier is quite generous, and I have never needed to go into the paid tier. If this was ever needed, I would gladly do so Review Source Alex T. Front End Developer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Incredible Solution for hosting Gatsby Built Static Sites" May 2, 2019 5.0 Pros Netlify makes connecting the REST API for Wordpress to GatsbyJs stupid simple. It took me a matter of minutes to import my project from BitBucket and then add a webhook that would update the repository anytime a Wordpress post was updated. This relationship between these three technologies (Netlify, Gatsby, and Wordpress) is the golden trio that allows for our customers to use the familiar Wordpress backend to manage their posts and pages while not relying on an outdated technology for the front-end framework of their site. Cons The one negative I found was the pricing structure they had for simple integrations like contact forms. In my opinion, the pricing is unrealistic to charge for a simple service like email notifications or slack notifications. Review Source Jeffrey A. Web Developer/Designer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good tool for Web Developers" March 30, 2022 4.0 Netlify is a solid platform for static sites and frontend frameworks. Pros \- Easy to set up - Neat user interface - Free Netlify domain - Debugging logs - Custom domains - Github integration Cons If they removed the bandwidth limit(100GB per month), time limit(300 minutes) on uploads and made deployment faster, Netlify would be much better. Review Source AP Andrés P. Informática Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "La gran alternativa al Hosting tradicional" December 2, 2020 5.0 Gran velocidad, mínima inversión de recursos. Estabilidad y confiabilidad. Pros La cantidad de trabajo que ahorra es impresionante. Frente a los sistemas de hosting tradicional, con Netlify obtengo mejores resultados y mayor velocidad, con menor inversión de tiempo y dinero. Cons Es una solución con algunas limitaciones. Aunque puede encajar muy bien para la mayoría de proyectos, algunos requerimientos específicos pueden no estar disponibles. Review Source William A. Software Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Amazing hosting tools for developers! " May 14, 2022 5.0 Pros I love the easy deployment, the fact that I can also purchase and secure a domain with Netlify! The form feature is also amazing, being able to easily receive inputs from my website with less lines of codes is just brilliant. Cons I feel Netlify would be a whole amazing if it became possible to host servers, at least NodeJs. Review Source Lindsay S. Founder Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Genius, easy to use, smooth all around experience " July 20, 2018 5.0 Huge time saver in deploying (and being forced to learn how to construct!) static sites. It's set off a love affair in how to implement this technology in my consulting business with clients who definitely need things to be low maintenance. Pros The features available fully for even the free tier of their services are phenomenal. And the pricing for the pro features is SO reasonable, especially compared to traditional hosting (I use for headless CMS deployment and for testing purposes). Also, I appreciate that the language they use is plain English and can really be understood by even the newest noobs. Cons I hate to even put anything for cons because the offering is so great. If I HAD to pick something, I would say have everything be free (including all pro features). That said, that's not necessarily a realistic expectation on my part, just wishful thinking. Honestly I wish I would've known about them sooner. Much cheaper and easier to use for a noob than for example Heroku which is still rad, just higher level of difficulty. Review Source SZ Shmuel Z. Director of Engineering Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Too expensive" March 30, 2023 5.0 Used it initially to deploy lower environments for apps at work, with pricing changes we decreased the work and planning to move everything out of Netlify Pros Easy to set up and auto deploy based on branch in code source supports nice features like dns etc Cons Pricing changed a lot over time making it unpredictable and hard to manage Reason for choosing Netlify Ease of use/set up Review Source Wechuli P. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ridiculous Simplicity" September 10, 2019 5.0 Netlify has been a revelation for me, gone are the days of trying to figure out how to set up SSL or how to configure my domain, it has taken all the pain of deploying static sites. Pros \- Simple to use and get started - Have a generous free tier - Automatic deploys and builds from GitHub - Free SSL certificates - how cool is that! - Ability to add your own custom domain Cons \- Nothing, there is nothing I don't like about Netlify, the ease of use and functionality together make it the best platform to run static sites. Review Source AV Alex V. CEO Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fantastic hosting and serverless platform" May 8, 2019 5.0 The workflow is very smooth, straightforward, and robust. The integration of Netlify with other services is excellent. It's enabled me to take my basic web development skills to the next level. Pros As a novice web developer (I built and maintain my own site) Netlify has made the complex things a joy to breeze through. Since my technical skills are limited, Netlify steps in and takes care of the nitty gritty. Hosting is just the beginning, they have serverless and forms and many other a la carte services. It's super scalable. I've had my own site running flawlessly on Netlify for about a year now. Cons Nothing major so far, I have light traffic so I'm not sure how the fees and stability is at bigger scale. Review Source Alicia A. Solution Alchemist and Dream Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Netlify allows you to build, version and deploy your website within the same tool. " April 29, 2019 4.0 Netlify allows you to build, version and deploy your website within the same tool. The learning curve is reduced because you're using tools that as a web developer you already know. That's also why the documentation is simple and to the point since it is only guiding you to learn this specific tool. Pros Netlify allows you to connect with existing services such as Github, also it offers a free tier for small business and/or personal projects. Their documentation is very concise and yet covers everything you need to know to launch using Netlify. It also has an uncommon service to host media files directly on your Git repository using Git LFS, when typically other services send you to host somewhere else. Cons Probably that it's difficult to make a parallel comparison with creating your site without the aid of this software. Review Source Danish M. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Deployments made easier using Netlfy" February 6, 2022 4.0 Pros Netlify is easier to use and helps deploy static website from Github/Gitlab within minutes. Netlify functions are an amazing thing , they can help you to automate a lot of things on your website. Cons So far , I have not found any shortcomings. It very rightly serves its purpose. Review Source DL Dennis L. QA Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Netlify + Gatsby = Match made in heaven" August 29, 2019 5.0 Without a doubt the easiest CD system I've used. It was almost plug and play. Pros Netlify is super easy to setup, extremely powerful, and takes a lot of the setup work out of developing and deploying your app/site. It integrates very nicely with Gatsby.js and is probably the easiest system I've used for deployments. Cons Though it is very easy, some of the settings are a bit confusing, especially regarding Github integration and Auth. Review Source Roshish S. Flutter Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easiest way to host website" September 19, 2023 5.0 Pros Setting it up is super easy and you can get your frontend website running within half an hour. It integrate with git workflow flawlessly and it automatically deploys newest changes really quick. Cons You can only host static websites. Apart from that, there is really nothing to complain much about. Review Source Dominic T. Senior Developer Financial Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "This is how hosting should be" December 14, 2018 5.0 Pros The interface is very fast and intuitive, it's almost laughable effortless to set up a build chain compiling from a git branch and configure a custom domain. Take note hosting giants. Cons So far I have no cons I'm just filling this box because it's required. Review Source SK Sim K. Founder of Premed Peers Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Netlify: Not a beginner tool" February 7, 2022 3.0 Pros Netlify was very cheap and easy to follow for basic design of website. Cons There are many cons as this is not a beginner friendly platform for a website. You must know how to code and integrate the features on the website. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/)[GoDaddy Website Builder](https://www.capterra.com/p/182500/GoDaddy-Website-Builder/) Reason for choosing Netlify Netlify was cheaper but we did end up making the switch to a different platform. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Super simple deploys" August 9, 2019 5.0 Pros Easy setup and continuous deployments. Faster than any other option on the market. I use it for hosting almost all of my front end projects. Cons Pricing is per website, instead of an overall flat rate Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Business Information Analyst Government Administration Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Netlify is now my go-to solution for hosting static sites" September 21, 2018 5.0 I use Netlify for static site hosting over other platforms because the continuous deployment is simple to set up and works great. Pros The main thing I love about Netlify is the easy to use continuous deployment from a Github or Gitlab repository. This alone makes it my go-to for static site hosting now. It also has a great free-tier that is great for developing sites and for anyone learning web development. Cons I have yet to run into anything that really detracts from using it. The cost of using lambda functions might add up eventually but I haven't had that issue yet. Review Source Dominic Vikram B. Growth Design Advisor Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Makes hosting seamless (and often free)" October 19, 2018 5.0 Pros As a junior developer, Netlify has made hosting insanely fast and simple. Cons Hard to find anything wrong with Netlify expect perhaps that pricing is priced per site. Review Source Sean B. Student Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Incredible value and ease of use" December 5, 2019 5.0 I am pleased with the service that this platform provides, there have been times where it took me some time to get around it well, but overall it has saved me more time than it has cost me. Pros The platform facilitates and speeds up hosting to an unbelievable degree, with great support for any advanced features you could need. Cons For more intricate projects and requirements, such as serverless applications, the platform requires a more in-depth understanding of particular concepts which could be better explained in the official documentation. Review Source AL Alaister L. System Administrator Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy and Free Static Hosting" July 23, 2021 5.0 I enjoy using Netlify. Their service is very good. I haven't faced any technical difficulties. Pros Netlify is very user-friendly. Websites are automatically deployed from our GitHub repo. We can build our apps quickly and easily. We can use our custom domain with free SSL. The CDN is good and the website load time is short. Cons The only disadvantage is that the free version only allows one team member.

Pros Connects and pulls automagically from Github branches and runs a live version on its own servers. It is very quick, modern and easy to use.
