Fast Media Optimization and Delivery for Modern Web Applications
What do you like best about the product?
I really like Cloudinary's on-the-fly media optimization, automatic resizing, and format selection. The fast CDN delivery and the simple APIs make media handling efficient and scalable for us. The initial setup was also easy, with API keys, SDKs, and clear documentation making integration quick. Basic image optimization started working almost immediately.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cloudinary can get expensive at scale, transformation pricing isn't always predictable, and advanced features have a learning curve. Better cost visibility and simpler pricing tiers would help.

We use Cloudinary to solve media performance and scaling issues, automating image and video optimization while reducing load times and manual handling.
Essential for Startups, Seamless for Ruby on Rails
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Cloudinary has a generous starter tier that helped our small greenfield startup get off the ground. It's great how it supports a wide range of SDKs for any language or platform, which is a huge time-saver for us as a Ruby-on-Rails platform, especially since Cloudinary supports Ruby and Rails out of the box. The UI is friendly and makes it super easy to manage and tag our uploaded assets, so we can confidently delete outdated variants without worrying about impacting production assets. Cloudinary's integration with ActiveStorage is a seamless drop-in solution, which made it extremely easy to set up by just installing it and copying their sample configuration. These features make Cloudinary incredibly valuable to our workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing does ramp up quickly. Once you start hitting thresholds, it gets comparatively expensive versus other solutions.

I found the initial setup very easy, and everything was up and running within a week.

Simplified Media Management with Cloudinary

I greatly appreciate the metadata function in Cloudinary, as it allows me to efficiently sort and catalog our files.

This makes the display on our website and our Google campaigns much smoother and more organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
The video studio feature on Cloudinary does not meet all my expectations. Ideally, I would like to be able to edit videos by adding text and integrating Excel files for translation to create adapted versions for different countries. Additionally, it would be very beneficial to have basic effects and transitions available to facilitate video editing directly on Cloudinary, which would allow us to have only one visual for all our languages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Cloudinary to avoid file duplicates and easily find our files through metadata, as well as to store and transform our assets for our site and campaigns.
