Just a perfect tool for a developer to deploy his site.
Netlify literally helped me get my first job. I was able to showcase my works which I had hosted using Netlify. It's easy CI/CD helped me not worry about the hassle of deploying my code manually everytime I made some changes.
PROSIt is very easy to get started with the site deployment process. You just have to set up your repository then let Netlify handle the rest. I also like the fact that your changes to your repository are automatically deployed.
CONSFrom my experience it cannot be used to deploy your backends, it only supports front end deployment or static sites.
Reasons for switching to Netlify
Easy setup and developer friendly.

PROSOne click deployment and integration with GitHub
CONSLicense based on committers. Only licensed users are able to auto deploy. After 5 years, you are expected to go on enterprise plan. There are no mid size say 10-50 seats.
Reason for choosing Netlify
Heroku was more expensive for our use case.
Reasons for switching to Netlify
All in one solution and package.

Decent cloud deployment for less advanced users
We had a decent experience with Netlify, but found ourselves glad to switch away from it.
PROSWhen we began to use Netlify, we found it super easy to get started with. We had our project up and running within an hour.
CONSNetlify has a severe lack of features for the cost, compared to services like Vercel.

Netlify is geate choice for frontend applications
I was using Netlify since 2 years ago and till now, my overall experience with Netlify is so good. And, In these two years, Netfliy added so many features and upgrades which made easily development process for everyone from beginners to professionals.
PROSThere are so many features in Netlify that I enjoy using like: Collab with the team/users, Custom domain, Auto-update/deploy and etc. And, I used most features of Netlify for my web applications on a daily basis which makes my apps always ready with updated pages. Also, Netlify smartly handles all my projects.
CONSThere is nothing that I don't like about Netlify but one thing that I want to point out is that the UI of the site can be improved. And, If Netlify can make an easy option for deploying server-side apps then that would be great. Other than that, I am happy and enjoying the feel of deploying static apps o Netlify!

Deploy from Git with ease
I enjoy using this service to quickly prototype front-ends and deliver them
PROSNetlify works as advertised, you don't have to know about DevOps handling or anything to do with cloud hosting. You can deploy your static apps right from your hosting provider, whether it is Gitlab or Github, it just works. The starting price is also free so you can deploy your multiple projects for free and have a custom domain, these are features I really enjoy, just simplicity at its best.
CONSSo far I haven't really found something I didn't like about Netlify, they are doing their best to push the Jamstack tech ahead and this is great.

Creating new websites with Netlify.
I migrated all of my small / personal web projects and passed almost all back-end work to Netlify while remaining a developer with the ability to customize back-end functionality. Now creating, testing, experimenting. I will propose / recommend Netlify to my new clients.
PROS1. Opensource. 2. All-in-one (Full stack) / JAM stack. Accumulated very useful features in one central place for site maintenance. 3. Innovative. 4. Continuous deployment. 5. Github / Let's Encrypt (SSL/TLS) integrations. 6. Very flexible. 7. WIP / experimental. 8. Pricing / Free plan. 9. Serverless and headless cms (Contentful) integrations. 10. Has its own pluggable Netlify CMS. 11. Testing / preview pand optimizations. 12. Intuitive and simple to use. 13. "even more / even better".
CONSI have nothing to say about the disadvantages of using netlify, especially for small and even medium-sized web projects, except that some functions are still on testing or beta.

Bringing back static sites
It takes a lot of effort to convince your clients that static sites are not dead and that their back in the game, I started with Netlify soon after I started developing sites with static sites generators like Hugo and Jekyll. The main problem with those generators is a CMS-like editing feature and the deployment of your changes. Netlify has made it possible, they have their own CMS integrable with most of the static site generators and the deployment is a breeze, just connect your repository with Netlify and the site will deploy automatically for every commit. With that you have a CMS where your non-tech savvy clients can upload their content, an instant deploy and the speed and security of the static sites. Last but not least you can deploy every branch you a custom subdomain, branch.yourdomain.com for example. How cool is that! Their build logs are really helpful to find what went wrong and their support was awesome, even on their free plan.
CONSOverall I have no reals cons to say. It just does what it promises.

Incredible Solution for hosting Gatsby Built Static Sites
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.
CONSThe 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.

Genius, easy to use, smooth all around experience
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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSI 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.

Ridiculous Simplicity
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.

Best Hosting app
The most interesting thing about Netlify is the way they help you to connect to different source code control apps like GitHub and GitLab so that you code can be deployed from their immediately.
CONSNetlify tries to do everything as better as they can. But one thing they can improve is the way of showing errors to users. They have to give much details about an error.

Incredible
I was sceptik since I could do most of what it does with a few clicks using Jetbrains Webstorm commercial version, but when I managed to git push and automatically see netlify make the build and deploy it, i was stunned! Its really nice and Im so happy they have a free tier to start getting the hang of it.
PROSimpressive ease of use for the power it provides. github linking. build command automatically executed!! url prettifying free https
CONSit was a bit of work to understand things that I'm not used to do (all server stuff) but I think they made these things much easier to understand and do than if I tried to learn it all from scratch on another deploy system.

The best and easiest way to deploy websites with the most modern technologies
I can't say enough good things about Netlify, the best thing about it, Is how easy it is to deploy your website, in a matter of seconds! it's really easy to use, it has all the bells and whistles if you want or need to get further, The solution they provide are superior to github pages, or any other service for that matter.
CONSI never say that, and it might sound corny, but really there is nothing bad about it, It does exactly what it says, in the easiest way possible, kudos Netlify!

An amazing static website deployment experience
It's just so easy. I was shocked. Deployment for me has been a task frought with minutia in the past, this made everything simple.
PROSIts free, deployment was as simple as pointing it at my github repository, then it just worked. Attach my domain name, point it to the netlify name servers wait an hour and then one click lets encrypt https support. Absolute magic.
CONSThe only thing that I can think of is that maybe one day I'll be so attached to them that a price increase (from the current free amount) will be a mandatory step. I can't see this being a big deal though, you can always move away.

I really wanted to love Netlify, but image hosting is slow
I wasted 2 days troubleshooting slow image load times on my live site. I thought I had done something wrong, but as soon as I switched over to Firebase, it completely fixed the issue and I won't be going back to Netlify because of this reason.
PROS- Super easy deploy through Github repos - Good support that is quick to respond and provides detailed help
CONS- Their LMF system for image hosting and delivery of resized assets seems great, but it mangled my git tree multiple times and I was never able to get it working - Their basic tier does not serve images as quickly as it should. I would say it is unusably slow.
