"Indispensable enterprise-grade power for the little guys"
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

There’s no better solution for asset management. Being able to control how your assets are not just rendered, but their delivery, is incredibly critical in this modern web world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

I really don’t dislike anything, however their interface went for user-friendly over being able to find the controls you need. After years, I still get lost. Docs need better organization. Everything needed is available and intuitive, but cumbersome for seasoned developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eugene Musebe of Cloudinary

Great to hear Cloudinary’s delivering the performance and control you need! We hear you on the UI and docs—improving usability for experienced devs is on our radar. Appreciate the insight!

The lack of a cheaper subscription model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eugene Musebe of Cloudinary

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're pleased that you find the ability to host audio with shareable links valuable. We are continuously evaluating our pricing models to ensure they are competitive and offer good value for our customers.

"A game changing tool for image processing"
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

Insane amounts of customizability. Extremely fair pricing with generous free tier. Once you have your transformations setup, everything works great and is very easy to integrate into your workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

There is a bit of a learning curve, and definitely a bit more suited towards developers or no-coders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eugene Musebe of Cloudinary

Thank you for your positive feedback! We understand that Cloudinary may be more developer-oriented, but we strive to provide resources and support to make the platform accessible to all users.

"A must-have vendor for any site optimization needs"
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

I love Cloudinary's on the fly transformations which can be activated by writing only a few words on the image or video url. At my job we rely heavily on it for video and image optimizations. No other vendor comes close when it comes to providing this service. This allows images to load fast and keeps our google site speed scores in great standards. Cloudinary has some great advanced features as well as custom widgets, and advanced video cropping options. Cloudinary offers tons of options and has great documentation available online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

The Cloudinary JS automatically updates. I would rather have control on when it updates as it can break things when using their widget. (This does not impact hosted images and videos that are in Cloudinary.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eugene Musebe of Cloudinary

It’s great to hear how central Cloudinary is to your optimization workflow—especially with URL-based transformations and site speed impact. Your point on JS updates is totally valid, and we're exploring more flexible options to give developers greater control. Really appreciate the thoughtful feedback!

"Very easy to use with great compatibility"
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

It's very easy to use. I can drop my image in and the link is instantly ready for me to use as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

Lately there has been odd coding added to the end of the file names; not sure what that's about, but it doesn't appear that I can change it. Also, editing directly within Cloudinary could be easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eugene Musebe of Cloudinary

Thanks for the feedback! We're glad Cloudinary’s simplicity and instant links are helping your team stay efficient. Noted on the file name quirks and editing, improving control and ease of use is definitely on our radar.

"Image serving for company web site through Cloudinary"
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

Ease of use and robust cross-platform integration has made Cloudinary an indispensable asset for the online presence of Bass Pro Shops. Moving from Adobe Scene7 to Cloudinary was made easy by expert technical support and good communcation with Cloudinary's engineers. Several teams in Digital Production work daily in Cloudinary to support web initiatives and build product imagery for online and retail purposes. We literally could not function without Cloudinary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

Complaints or dislikes are minimal. Asset searches can be a bit tedious and Cloudinary didn't have an out-of-box solution for a video sitemap. But, those have been minor concerns and Cloudinary has been quick to help us with any issues that have come up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eugene Musebe of Cloudinary

It’s incredible to hear how integral Cloudinary has become to your workflow—especially across teams and at scale. We’re proud to support your move from Scene7 and help keep things running smoothly. Appreciate the note on asset search and video sitemap—we’re always refining the experience. Thanks for the trust!

The free tier is a gneours stepping stone to growth. Scaling into robust image and video solutions is easy. Whether using their dedictaed player for videos or crafting your wown the potential is limitless and performant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

The docuementaion is rich but a little hard to navigate. The pricing structure is a little hard to understand, but I havent met the upper limits of my pro account and I'm well within the limit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eugene Musebe of Cloudinary
