"Great ease of implementation."
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

It's ease of use. Personaly I don't use the available image enhacing/optimization tools, but I like very much the ease of integration of the Cloudinary API in code, it works very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

Perhaps I haven't found something to strongly dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eugene Musebe of Cloudinary

"Execellent API support for developers."
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

I like the ease of signup and very generous free tier.

I regularly run workshops in which participants build a starter web application which allows users to upload images through the browser on mobile phones.

I like the cloudinary dashboard which immidiatelly presents a code example to integrate the upload into a node.js application.

We also use cloudinary as CDN for pdf documents and host all media presented on our corporate website geolytix.com on cloudinary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

Having to install the cloudinary node package is somewhat cumbersome and completely unnecessary. It is fairly easy to sign an url for upload to the cloudinary API directly from the browser. The trickiest bit was to find the example.

The media explorer interface is somewhat long in the tooth. Batch uploads could be smoother.

I'd prefer if the file name would be retained when uploading an image through the media explorer interface into a folder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eugene Musebe of Cloudinary

Awesome to hear Cloudinary’s making a difference in your workshops and web projects! Love that you're using the dashboard code snippets and CDN features to the fullest. Your feedback on the SDK, media explorer, and upload flow is super helpful—we’re actively refining those areas. Thanks for sharing your experience!

"Wren Kitchens Content Writer Cloudinary Review"
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

Cloudinary is an excellent storage system for all of our visual and audio assets and it makes it very easy to share assets between the different departments of our company. It is also very helpful with how it modifies images for different platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

We have recently had a lot of trouble embedding our cloudinary links to videos in our eLearning training material on Rise360. While we have been in touch with cloudinary support on several occasions, they have yet to resolve this issue so we've had to start embedding videos on the modules themselves instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eugene Musebe of Cloudinary

Thanks for the great feedback! We're glad Cloudinary helps streamline asset sharing and image optimization across your teams. We’re sorry for the trouble with embedding video links in your eLearning material — our support team is looking into it and will work to find a resolution.

"Simple to tag items and organize your favourites, however navigating isn't straightforward"
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

It's simple to tag items and organize your favourites, making it convenient to access them later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

Navigating the platform isn't very straightforward, and locating assets based on their resolution can be challenging. Lack of transparent overview to folder hierarchy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"hands down the best image software for developers bar none"
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

The free tier has about 5 years worth of my photos and shows no signs of reaching the cost plans. I use it so often that I actually developed an npm package that will programmatically watch my Screenshots directory, then copy the markdown-formatted image to my clipboard that I use in my static site generated personal blog. It's extremely easy to use, and has integrations for literally any framework out there. The documentation is amazing as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

Literally not a single thing. Well, actually, the UI post logging in doesn't have a lot of use, and I think most would prefer to be redirected to their media library, rather than what it currently does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eugene Musebe of Cloudinary

Love how you've made Cloudinary a seamless part of your workflow—and even built your own tool around it! That kind of developer creativity is exactly what we hope to empower. Great call on the UI landing experience—we hear you. Really appreciate you sharing how it's saving time across personal and client projects!

"Cloudinary makes my digital asset management easier"
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

What I like best about Cloudinary is how easy it makes media management. I can upload, transform, optimize, and deliver images and videos all through one platform, with just a URL. The automatic format and quality optimization is a huge win for performance, and the transformation API is incredibly powerful for dynamic content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

Sometimes the pricing can get a little tricky, especially when you scale up or have a lot of transformations happening behind the scenes. Also, the UI could be a bit more intuitive when navigating between assets, transformations, and settings. But overall, the functionality still outweighs the drawbacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eugene Musebe of Cloudinary

We're glad to hear Cloudinary is making media management easier and more efficient for you! Simplifying the way developers work with images and videos is exactly what we aim for. We appreciate your feedback on pricing and UI—transparency and usability are areas we're actively working to improve. Thanks for sharing your experience!

You can have it setup quickly and or advanced. based on your preferences Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

Delivering images to certain systems is a bit complicated and also some restrictions based on your plan are too restrictive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eugene Musebe of Cloudinary

Thanks for the kind words! We're glad Cloudinary is powering your media delivery with speed and flexibility right out of the box. We appreciate the feedback on system integrations and plan limits, always working to make both more adaptable to your needs.
