What do you dislike about the product?
I have not seen any downsides to using Cloudinary.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cloudinary helps our website to have faster page load times because we do not upload images directly to our website.
As a result, our users have a better user experience and we are more likely to have a higher conversion rates.
Having a good user experience helps with our SEO because Google is able to send more customers our way and customers are less likely to bounce off our pages if our loading times are efficient.
This in turn leads to a higher sales for us when customers have a good experience on our website and do not exit due to being frustrated.
