"Using Cloudinary to power our e-commerce site"
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

Cloudinary allows us to support image creation for our catalog of many thousands of items. Our developers lean heavily on the query-parameter based parameterization in order to quickly build and support new transformation types as needed. We appreciate the clarity of both the API and documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

As Cloudinary is an end-to-end solution, we would prefer to use particular components a la carte and forego others, such as the ability to skip the Cloudinary CDN and front everything in our own CDN. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eugene Musebe of Cloudinary

Thanks for the thoughtful review! We're glad Cloudinary's API and transformation tools are helping power your e-commerce experience at scale. We hear your feedback on modularity and CDN flexibility — it’s on our radar as we continue evolving the platform.

"Game changer for our workflow. Cloudinary delivers!"
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

Cloudinary has really revolutionized how we manage and share our product imagery, proving to be an indispensable platform for our business. As a company that relies heavily on visual content for our partners who sell our products, the ability to seamlessly distribute images has been a huge upgrade.

Our design team is especially thrilled with Cloudinary's robust transformation capabilities. The excitement around being able to upload a single, high-resolution image and then dynamically generate countless optimized versions on the fly is palpable. This not only saves time, but storage as well, and it ensures consistency and quality across all of our channels.

Cloudinary has made daily operations incredibly smooth for our team. Our ecommerce analysts and sales department now find it super easy to access and pull the specific image assets they need, precisely when they need them. This efficiency has streamlined our internal processes and enhanced our ability to support our partners quickly and effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

Understanding the pricing model and factoring in storage, bandwidth, and transformations. While there's a generous free tier, scaling up can become expensive, and understanding how different actions translate into "credits" or costs can be confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eugene Musebe of Cloudinary

Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review! We're thrilled Cloudinary is transforming your design workflow and making image access effortless across teams. We hear you on pricing clarity, simplifying that experience is a priority, and your insight helps guide our improvements.

"Robust DAM suited for technical teams"
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

Cloudinary is feature-rich, which can be helpful, but takes some getting used to. They do offer lots of training documentation, webinars, and have responded quickly on their help forum. I particularly like all of the tagging and filtering, it makes sorting and searching images easy. The collection feature is also a great value for sharing assets with people outside of your organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

When my team first started using cloudinary in 2022, it felt overbuilt and overly complex to perform some basic features. The UI has gotten much better, but the product still has many features my team doesn't use for managing our front-end assets and some basic tasks still require specialization and training to get the hang of.

The integration with Contentful, my CMS, is still rudimentary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eugene Musebe of Cloudinary

Thanks for the thoughtful review! We're glad Cloudinary's tagging, filtering, and collections are helping streamline your asset management and external sharing. We hear your feedback on complexity and Contentful integration we’re continuously working to improve usability and expand CMS support.

"Generate Multiple Versions Easily from a Single Photo"
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

The fact of only having to upload a single photo and then being able to have x versions of it depending on the parameters you specify Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

The solution is a bit expensive when using tens of thousands of images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
