5/5
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

I really appreciate the convenience that Cloudinary offers. It is extremely easy to use, and the initial setup was very simple, which is a great advantage since I didn't encounter any problems. I mainly use it to generate URLs that make it easier to upload and view images on my site, making visual content accessible to visitors. Cloudinary's complete platform is very good and, even though I don't use all the tools, I believe it helps various companies improve their performance. The product is so effective that I would rate it a 10 in terms of likelihood to recommend it to a friend or colleague. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive Scaling, High Costs"
5/5
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

I appreciate the URL syntax in Cloudinary, which allows me to apply all desired transformations. This enables flexible and efficient image processing directly via the URL, without the need for additional development resources. This offers a great time saving and significantly simplifies the workflow. The initial setup was very easy and pleasant, which made it easier to start using it. I can use Cloudinary seamlessly in my development environment and have integrated it as a plug-in in Visual Studio Code, which further simplifies handling and ensures a smooth workflow.

4.5/5
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

Cloudinary provides instant transformations on all of out images used in a large scale ecommerce site. They are fast and their image optimizations are insane. We can apply filters, scaling, cropping and a ton of other optimizations through a simple URL parameter and get the image we want/need nearly as fast the first time than an image that already exists.

5/5
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

Cloudinary has significantly improved the way we manage images and videos on our projects. The automatic optimization of file sizes and formats makes websites load much faster without sacrificing quality.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

The admin panel sometimes seems overloaded, especially for new users who are just getting to grips with advanced transformations. Some features require additional study of documentation or tutorials. Additionally, more flexible pricing plans would be desirable for small teams or projects with medium traffic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
