Cloudinary has two parts
- a Digital Asset Manager for storing content
- an service for optimising / resising images (and video) that then uses Cloudflare, Fastly etc as a CDN
Akamai, Cloudflare, Fastly all already have image optimisation services, so if you're using them already why use Cloudinary.
The DAM piece is more of an issue as most CMSs aren't great on the asset management front but looking at commerce etc platforms they're getting better
