Cloudinary Reviews & Product Details

Cloudinary helps me streamline my processes when checking for errors on shoots and making sure things go live on-site in time. I like that I can easily search for what I want to look for in the assets bar, and I can review things really easily without having to overdo my workload. It helps me streamline my processes because I can search it myself without having to ask a different team who would normally manage the shoot process. So if I want to check if something's been shot, I can easily review that with the asset tab. The setup was very, very easy and I didn't have any problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really. I actually find everything quite helpful. I don't have any negatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy it is to search for files in Cloudinary. I can use it not only as a data resource, but also as a source of inspiration when using more generic terms. It does a great job at searching not only specific search terms, but parts or phrases that are similar. I appreciate the creation date filters, as I can see exactly what the teams are working on day-to-day. I also use the file type filter often to make sure I am getting the highest possible quality resources for the type of content I am creating that day. I appreciate the ability to quickly preview hundreds of files and view the full-size files quickly. Other platforms did not allow us to have such a macro and micro scope of content. It solves the problem of needing multiple programs and resources to host files, and our creative, marketing, design, and all of our teams use it as a single source of content. After we switched from our internal file server, it was much easier to see the content as a thumbnail size, and users could stay logged in instead of constantly re-logging into our system. The initial setup was quite easy. The login system is straightforward and easy to set up new employees and new teams with the content on day one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area Cloudinary could improve is previewing videos from the site itself. To preview long videos, it can't be done quickly. I recently tried to watch a video made by the marketing team that was about 14 minutes, and it took time to load the preview. It was actually faster to download it than it was to wait for the preview to prepare. I did not cause any massive delays, but it did take a few extra steps. I think lower-res previews would be very helpful when browsing for videos and quickly being able to understand if the video can be useful to the business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Cloudinary's user-friendly interface extremely helpful when attempting to find and organize a SKU. It allows my organization to neatly organize files in a structure that makes sense. I don't handle accounts for my business and therefore don't deal with pricing, so I cannot speak on the subject. Cloudinary integrates perfectly into my organizations workflow, letting us easily add images to the website. I was onboarded by my organization, but Cloudinary was easy to pick up and understand. I have experienced nothing but smooth performance and accurate search results. Cloudinary's AI features are also helpful for workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not experienced many issues other than slight search accuracy problems, but this is due to a SKU not being available in my organizations specific cloudinary structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Cloudinary is how it removes a lot of the messy work around images and videos without feeling heavy. Upload once, and resizing, compression, and format changes just happen through simple URLs, which feels surprisingly flexible. It also handles edge cases well, like optimizing for slow networks or different devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing can become confusing once you move beyond basic usage. From my personal experience, transformations and bandwidth are harder to predict than expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Image management/CDN for our Adobe Commerce site is relatively seamless once the integration bugs were worked out. Having a pre-built integration available from the marketplace was helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Training for design and marketing staff was a slow process. Cloudinary image management from the UI could be more intuitive for end-user staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that we can structure and upload files in a way that aligns with our needs. We can reliably update assets so our apps remain dynamic when fetching images, and our team can change images without involving a developer. We also appreciate the support for multiple files, which has been valuable while working with 3D models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI for configuring transformations could be a bit cleaner; it feels overwhelming at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The API is well documented and user friendly, and the capabilities it provides are what I'd want from an image cloud storage provider. It's also reliable and performant, working really well even at a high scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel like the UI is a little janky; it sometimes feels not entirely clear what's happening behind the scenes, and navigating a large collection can be a little bit clunky, but overall it's still quite usable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how organized Cloudinary is. It makes managing files straightforward and helps keep content consistent, which is especially useful when you’re working with a large team. Additionally, uploading files is easy and takes no time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the search bar could use some improvement. Whenever I’m trying to find an image, it only shows up if I type the exact file name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I truthfully just love the product and the functionality. I think that it truly helps my day to day life so much. I love that you can do so much with it besides just uploading the files. I've uploaded so many, and every single one has just loaded so smoothly. I really appreciate what it has to offer. I like using the embedded URL link because sometimes we are required to embed elements on our user's website. So having that directly integrated where it provides the embed code for you is super helpful. The initial setup was super easy, very straightforward, and very simple.

I think sometimes the drop downs could be a tiny, tiny bit confusing whenever you're going to share or export a photo or video. I think maybe just concise the list a little bit, would help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
