What do you like best about Cloudinary?

The integration into our backend is seamless. Cloudinary offers various image enhancement features and quality options. The quality and aspect ratios are on easy to use sliders that don't require any additional training to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

We've had some issues with image quality on the front end of our site using Cloudinary. They stem from a combination of the actual code of our site and Cloudinary image quality controls. Right now we can't use the highest image quality without taking a hit on load times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Using Cloudinary we were able in increase overall image quality on site as well as more accurately catalog uploaded images for quick searching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cloudinary?

Very easy to use. We're only using the free version right now, but still are able to do a lot with our images/videos, like overlays, cropping, and so on. Integrates seamlessly with the CMS in use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're yet to move to the priced version, not sure how the pricing will pan out depending on traffic. Not too much to dislike for now Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Definitely, will recommend signing up for it. Works much better and faster than storing images on the server, and the UI for the platform is very intuitive and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cloudinary?

This repository is key for all of our digital assets. The folder structures and auto transformations makes it a necessity for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

I don't like the plans and wish they were more customizable (we need more bandwidth, for example, but less transformations). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Hosting all of our digital assets on this site in one place helps us to keep track of them and transform them at will. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cloudinary?

One of the best advantages you can have using cloudinary is the automated ways of serving image assets on your websites. From resizing to serving an alterntaive format of the image based on the user's browser is very innovative to increase overall speed load times.

The overall look and feel of Cloudinary is very welcoming and easy to use with a drag and drop area for images, videos and other content. You are not limited to only uploading images, you can upload javascripts and css files as Cloudinary can be your one stop shop for your website's CDN needs.

They even have the ability to upload videos and to manipulate them on demand through the use of transformation , quality and many more options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

I do believe that pricing can be a bit better to make it more affordable for SMB but overall the benefits do outweigh the cons Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cloudinary:

I would also reccomend Rackspace CDN and Amazon AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Integrating Cloudinary significantly improved overall website load times, along with improving our Google Page speed score and SEO efforts. The improved load time speeds also improved our experience we delivered to our customers leading to increased pageviews per session

On a side note for those of you that are more technical savvy, the images and assets that are served to your user through Cloudinary save and CACHE those items for even faster delivery the next time the same assets are required by the web page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our web developers have a receptacle for our image assets without coming to me! They also can quickly export other image sizes and file types Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have yet to run into any problems with this tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cloudinary:

Any business with thousands of images to manage need this tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Web development and asset organization. The benefits are innumerable, we use this every day Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cloudinary?

Ease of use, by far. Everything from adding overlays to facial-recognition based cropping, it's a breeze. I also really appreciate the amount of leniency they have for development environments. I've regularly gone over my developer resources by two-fold and they simply send me an email asking me to tone it down a bit. I love this service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

The pricing can be a bit much if you're a high traffic site. We found that we utilized only around 5% of our storage, but were going way over our bandwidth. I know they use AWS for hosting so it might be difficult to shift costs around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cloudinary:

Seriously try it out. There are a few others that do it, but with all the addons and the standard functionality that comes with it, you'll be hard pressed to find anything better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We utilize Cloudinary heavily in our online publications, and being able to seamlessly deal with manipulations and store on a CDN without having to roll our own has been amazing. Cloudinary is a pretty robust platform, haven't seen any slowdowns or issues as of yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
