What do you like best about Cloudinary?

We work closely with the Cloudinary team as our DAM and CDN provider, but what has most impressed me is the responsiveness, time, and effort they take to consider all our use cases and how to evolve what we use their tools for. I think their customer service is second to none, thank you Maor and Guillaume! They always make the time and talk us through options/answer any questions we have and we've had frequent calls with them to discuss features, campaigns and future roadmap items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

There's nothing to dislike about Cloudinary, we're pleased with the product and service provided! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cloudinary:

If you want great service and a team willing to listen and share best practice & help you evolve your content needs then they are the company for you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cloudinary solving and how is that benefiting you?

Currently our main focus is on improving QA, starting to automate some of it gradually via test & learn. In the future would love to explore machine learning tools for QAing of content. Outside of that the main purpose is as our DAM and CDN provider for all images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cloudinary?

It's easy to get started using Cloudinary; then, from there, it's fantastic to find all the features that improve the image/video pipeline in your app. After having used it for 5+ years, I can't imagine anyone not leveraging Cloudinary! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

There are few downsides, if any. It requires a bit of a different design process to upload and manage image/video assets, but once started, it's hard to stop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cloudinary:

Get started using Cloudinary as soon as you can. The hardest part of our transition was transitioning existing assets - which Cloudinary does make easy, but always takes time.

Also, take advantage of their support. Tech support is always constructive and quick to provide high-quality responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cloudinary solving and how is that benefiting you?

For a long time, we managed our own images. Hosting them on our servers, using 3rd party tools to crop, compress, and convert them. These other tools (such as ImageMagick) were great when they worked, but our dev team found themselves troubleshooting odd colorspace issues and having to add additional tools to compress images further. Then yet another tool to handle cropping.

Once we started adding videos, the complexity got unbearable.

Cloudinary in its simplest use case is a CDN, providing better and faster access to users around the world. Just as an easy-to-use CDN, it's worthwhile. Then being able to process images and videos is incredible. Simple transformations such as resizing and cropping is easy. The wide range of processing that is provided is useful for any use case we've been able to throw at it.

More recently, with the increased use of video throughout all industries, processing video with some simple API or URL commands is nothing short of incredible. It was a game-changer for our team with close to zero effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
