Cloudinary vs. IntelligenceBank

Cloudinary handles pretty much anything you have related to images. From serving them up efficiently to adding transformations on the fly, there's really little this service doesn't do. Their pricing plans allow you to grow into the right levels and their website dashboards are very helpful. I would easily recommend this for all but the simplest of use cases.

In a small company like Gogo, employees wear many hats. The thing I love about IntelligenceBank's product is that it allows me total control over my own content and real-time control over who can access that content.

• Cloudinary is the best in the market for photo and video transformations.

• The design of the website is super intuitive. Our customers have commented on how easy it is to find what they're looking for.
• IntelligenceBank provides great support. On the rare occasion when I need technical assistance, the IntelligenceBank team responds quickly.
• IntelligenceBank provides a great product at a fantastic price.

• Their API does require URLs that can get quite lengthy and not always easy to parse on sight.
• Documentation on how transformations work and what they actually do to your image could be clearer (what does force_strip actually mean?).
• Although a free tier exists and is quite generous, should you need to acquire a premium plan for your needs the pricing at scale can climb quickly.

We rarely use their support. But when we need it they are always there. They provide great consultation and suggestions to help us manage our costs and resources better. In the last 8 years perhaps we have contacted them 3 or 4 times - which is really really great

Cloudinary seemed to be the most sophisticated with the most documentation and platform support. Other solutions seemed to be a lot harder to implement, however, due to the good documentation and API samples on their GitHub we were able to implement it nicely. Additionally, they have a lot of really well-known brands using them like Wired, Sky News, and eBay which gave us a lot of confidence that this was a good robust solution to use and to help others with
