Cloudinary has significantly improved the way we manage images and videos on our projects.

What do you dislike about the product?

Админ-панель местами кажется перегруженной, особенно для новых пользователей, которые только осваивают расширенные трансформации. Для некоторых функций нужно дополнительно изучать документацию или туториалы. Также хотелось бы более гибкие тарифные планы для небольших команд или проектов со средним трафиком.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cloudinary helps us solve the problem of storing, organizing, and delivering large volumes of media files across different projects. Before, we spent too much time manually resizing and optimizing images and videos. Now, everything is automated: transformations, responsive delivery, and fast CDN integration. This improves website performance, reduces workload for the team, and ensures a consistent experience for our customers.
