Qualification note
Belongs in DAM as media-asset management, transformation and delivery infrastructure, not as a generic CMS. Best fit where the buyer's principal need is developer-centric media transformation and delivery performance rather than brand-governance workflows. Validate whether the client needs brand-governance/DAM workflow features (favor Bynder/Aprimo) versus pure media transformation/delivery performance (favor Cloudinary).
