Manage extensive content workflows with user-friendly interface and WebScan feature
What we appreciate about Arc XP is its comprehensiveness. For media organizations with numerous content contributors, creators, and curators, Arc offers a complete solution that addresses all their needs. It provides all the necessary tools for managing extensive content workflows, which we find particularly valuable. Another standout feature is its user-friendly interface. It’s very intuitive, similar to Microsoft Word, making it accessible for journalists and content creators who may not have technical expertise. Lastly, the WebScan feature is exceptional. It functions like a newsroom project management tool, helping to organize and track content planning and workflow. This feature is unique to Arc and is highly beneficial for editorial planning.

Reliable image hosting and storage improve organization but setup complexity challenges new users
Cloudinary is valuable for storing and hosting images, especially because it allows for easy storage and organization of media files. This feature is particularly useful when dealing with large amounts of images. Additionally, Cloudinary offers capabilities to create folders and organize images effectively under user-specific folders, which enhances usability for social media purposes.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It’s very intuitive, similar to Microsoft Word, making it accessible for journalists and content creators who may not have technical expertise."
"Arc XP Experience Platform is easy to use and flexible for creating different components in the front end."
"I use the solution for posting images."
"I recommend Cloudinary to other users because Amazon is a bit expensive for me."
"The tool has tools designed for the average user, and the onboarding process is very easy, especially for aspiring junior developers. I love Cloudinary's automation feature. It automatically optimizes assets, so I don't have to do anything. When I store an image, their system already optimizes it. Its CDN is very powerful. The solution also has a default configuration that makes images load faster without losing quality. We haven't faced any issues in integrating the tool with other platforms."
"Cloudinary is very easy to use, especially for users or for developers."
"I like its ease of implementation. I can easily call the API into my platform and use it to upload images from the machine to the server."
"Cloudinary will check for corrupted video or audio files and can re-encode them into different formats without much effort—you modify the URL, and it handles everything server-side."
"I would absolutely recommend Cloudinary. Here's why: It's easy to set up, which saves development time."
"The automation tools were used most often. They are quite convenient and cover our requirements."
 

Cons

"Arc XP could add structured content."
"For a small site, Arc XP Experience Platform is not worth it."
"The main issue with the package is how it handles errors. It swallows errors and throws its own, but without preserving the stack trace, making debugging nearly impossible."
"It blocked our account, prevented us from uploading files, and showed a message about file adjustments."
"The user interface of Cloudinary needs improvement."
"Cloudinary has a good user interface (UI), but there are some things the product can improve, like convenience."
"We decided to quit using Cloudinary after two years because we were getting a lot of users, and it was becoming expensive."
"The high price of the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"One thing that comes to mind is the capability for hosting very large video files, similar to platforms like YouTube."
"For non-technical users, the initial setup could be made easier."
