Efficient asset management, but a lot of add-on subscriptions required
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Cloudinary provides a central storage point for all our assets, making it easier for everyone to access them at all times. I appreciate the various upload transformations available, ensuring a consistent look, feel, and size for our hotel images. The interface is really easy to use, and the folder search functionality makes finding things straightforward - we use it all day every day.
I enjoy the additional features, including media flows that streamline image processing, and the video player, which delivers video assets in a more aesthetically pleasing manner than the previous YouTube player, and uses smart technology to reduce the time it takes for pages with video on to load. The initial setup was very easy, with a team member assigned to help us get the best out of the product. The client support team have also worked with us closely to unlock new ways of working.

What do you dislike about the product?
A lot of the fantastic features available aren't included in the plan we have, meaning you can incur extra costs that make it more difficult to get a return on your investment in the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cloudinary centralises all of our assets and offers upload transformations for consistent image quality and style. It also offers a vieo player that's more aesthetically pleasing on site, and it doesn't require users to accept cookies to view the video, which means more people are seeing our conversion boosting content.

My experience with Cloudinary: Easy, efficient, and smart
What do you like best about the product?
One of the most helpful things about Cloudinary is its ease of use and intuitive platform. I feel like even non-technical users can quickly upload, organise, and optimise media without a steep learning curve. The dashboard is clean and user-friendly, making it easy to manage images and videos in one place.

One thing I dislike about Cloudinary is that the pricing can become expensive as usage grows. As storage, bandwidth, and transformations increase, costs can rise quickly.

Currently Cloudinary are developing an image sorting tool which automatically sorts out pictures following a predetermined order. This significantly reduces my workload, saves time, and improves efficiency as it lets me focus on more important tasks rather than manual file management.
Fast Media Optimization and Delivery for Modern Web Applications

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.

I would like to have a way to upscale videos. That's a feature that is missing, and I would like to be able to buy additional credits without having to upgrade for a bigger plan.
