"Great static hosting with very generous free tier"
5/5
What do you like best about Netlify?

Free static site hosting with free custom domains and HTTPS support. They even give you free continuous builds and deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Netlify?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the easiest way to deploy a website"
5/5
What do you like best about Netlify?

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.

What do you dislike about Netlify?

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.

"Free and simple hosting for static sites"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Netlify?

My personal portfolio site is simple enough that I don't really want to pay for hosting. Netlify works great for this, I'm able to upload a zip folder with an index.html file inside and it is instantly online. I can also choose to connect a custom domain for free, which is great for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Netlify?

I'm not able to push updates by uploading a ZIP folder from my phone. The only way you can do it is by dragging the folder, which I can't do from my phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great hosting for static sites - the hype is justified!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Netlify?

Great features for deploying static sites either directly from a codebase or via a build pipeline. The added features for authentication, user accounts and more put Netlify almost in league of their own.

The company have also made it extremely simple to use most of their services, something which so many get wrong in over complicating their UIs and documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Netlify?

The services for more complex database driven websites are somewhat limited, so the hosting isn’t suitable for all kinds of websites and applications. Having said this, they don’t pretend to be and label themselves as being suitable for static sites (plus some integrated dynamic solutions). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best execution of cloud static hosting"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Netlify?

I was able to run numerous small projects without additional cost and global cdn deployment cannot be easier than Netlify. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Netlify?

Other than static serving, dynamic processing (server functions) is kinda tricky. Compared to now.sh, it’s little bit difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review for Netify"
5/5
What do you like best about Netlify?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Netlify?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
