Cloudinary is very powerful - but expensive as a CDN for your assets
What do you like best about the product?
Cloudinary is best in class at optimizing images and video in terms of size, compression, format and such. It's super simple manipulating assets via the SDK or the URL.
There is also a useful SDK utility to upload images from a web application.
The support staff is nice.

What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing: Cloudinary's pricing can skyrocket, especially with large files and high traffic. We experienced a bill increase by 10x due to a single large file.
Bundle Packages: Their fixed "bundle" packages lacked flexibility, forcing us to shift to the pricier pay-as-you-go model, which was a considerable drawback.
