Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We currently use Cloudinary to host image files on both our website and Help website. We love using the service and being able to utilize their API and make changes to images on the fly without having to go back and edit the image again. Also the ability overwrite an image if we need to change one is another great feature. We also host some CSS and video files there which is great that they do more than just images.

Support Rating

Cloudinary has great support and will reply to your requests in a fast amount of time, however their documentation if you need advanced help is very complicated for novice users. Their Documentation seems to be better suited for advanced users and not everyone will understand API usage without more explanation.

Cloudinary is not for people who have heavy video files and need to host thousands of images or files and have them all linked to their website.
