    Cloudinary Makes Media Management Effortless and Boosts ROI

    Reviewed on Oct 29, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Cloudinary is not just a CDN, but the de facto standard platform for images and video on the web. It is easy to use for developers, marketers and creatives and has dramatically reduced complications with delivering the right media to the right device at the right time. As a small business, media management will never be a profit center for us, so ease of implementation and integration are key for us and Cloudinary delivers. Additionally, new features and functionality only serve to increase our ROI as our adoption continues. The value for our teams and our business is undeniable.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Cost and sticker shock is definitely a concern, but overall value outweighs cost completely for us. A portion of the AI features are not relevant to our business. Mass update of image paths is not a trivial, so initial setup is critical. Stock Wordpress integration leaves something to be desired.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Cloudinary's digital asset management, optimization and on-the-fly delivery replaces expensive home grown projects to perform these tasks. Additionally replaces limited onprem media asset management solution. Replaces manual image manipulation and scales extremely well without requiring additional resources.

    Powerful, User-Friendly Asset Management

    Reviewed on Oct 28, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Cloudinary offers dynamic image manipulation and a robust API, supported by comprehensive public documentation. Its user-friendly interface makes it accessible to everyone in the company, and it serves as a single source of truth for all digital assets. I also appreciate Cloudinary’s commitment to keeping up with the evolving technology landscape.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    I wouldn't say I dislike it, but I do wish it were more affordable for us, given that the base product includes plenty of features that are certainly valuable but that I haven't gotten to take advantage of due to my specific business needs.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    We are able to integrate it seamlessly with our own platforms through the API, and by taking advantage of its dynamic image manipulation features, we can deliver the most efficient image format and size for each specific placement and device. Additionally, this allows us to reduce the production time required from our design team, enabling them to focus more on creativity rather than on localisation tasks.

    Essential Image Management with Powerful Tools, Awaiting API Improvements

    Reviewed on Oct 28, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    We store millions of images in Cloudinary, and it plays a crucial role in moderating and optimizing these images for display across all our applications. The optimizations ensure that our users enjoy the experience they expect, while the management tools empower our internal teams to make modifications whenever necessary.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Some of the newer APIs still require further development to achieve full feature parity, but we are actively collaborating with the team to ensure these areas are prioritized.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    The most significant benefit for us has been the rapid retrieval and optimization of images across various platforms. We are eager to start using the MediaFlows features for moderation and to further enhance our images.

    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    The easy moderation process and ability to search and look up images, even ones that have been uploaded months or even years earlier.

    The UX isn't always intuitive, it can be difficult to find what you need straight away.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
