### "The DAM which grows with your requirements" — 5.0/5

> **Graham** | *10 December 2019* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - Great support from the Cloudinary development team&#10;- Willingness to enhance the product based on your requirements&#10;- Good features which can be deployed when required&#10;- Good API and widgets available for developers&#10;- Competitive pricing
> 
> **Cons**: - Some features can be confusing to activate such as automatically transcoding videos&#10;- Annual pricing offer was not clear in sign-up process&#10;- Web interface needed some experimentation to learn
> 
> Our clients often need a centralised DAM which can store large quantities of assets. One client wished to run a competition which required them to upload a video from a website, Cloudinary proved the perfect service to integrate with. The development team quickly integrated with the platform and issues during testing were ironed out with the help of the Cloudinary support team. Based on this experience we have rolled out the platform to several other clients over the past 18 months.
