Simple to use and easy to implement. Coming from Vimeo and Youtube, we alway found that either we didn't want ads shown on our Wordpress sites for clients or Vimeo just got too expensive for the features that we have. Being able to post videos ad free, sharing videos that generate its own webpage was a game changer for our proposals, finally, um... it just works!! I wish I could give it a higher rating, I'm sure this company is going to get snapped up so jump in while you can. I does exactly what you wished the other big boys would do and the price is right.

Pros

Easy to user, quick onboarding, Generated a unique secure video link with a generated webpage within a minute, upload, generate... done. Great integrating with Wordpress.

Cons

Api was kind of tough to figure out, i think i should have just connected with support. Lots of options, I got a little lost at first, but I was good in a day. The quality of the project is amazing, no issues...really. Plan on upgrading to a higher plan because you're going to use this way more than you thought, lol.

Overall, I like Gumlet performance in prioritizing speed, performance, and simplicity but found it wanting in more advanced functionality.

Pros

The interface is very intuitive and made my process of uploading, hosting and optimising very smooth. Besides that, I love their customisable player and really fast CDN.

Cons

I found some of the advanced video marketing tools missing like email gating and lead form captures which are available in some other similar services.

Good Video-Hosting, many features - space to improve service

I haven't been using Gumlet for long. So far I am very satisfied with the services and features, only the “live” chat can be improved = after 40 minutes I still had no answer to my problem (= error message when uploading the logo). For me, Gumlet makes a solid impression and I can recommend it.

Pros

Gumlet offers many features for video hosting including numerous settings for the player, branding and security. The streaming speed is very good - at least in the tests I carried out. The UI is fine, I found my way around pretty quickly.

Cons

Not all the settings are clear to me - but there are tutorials for that, you have to invest a bit of time. Also had an error uploading my logo. I wrote a message in the chat about this = you should get a response within a few moments. After about 30 minutes, I still haven't had an answer. This should definitely be improved.

Response from Gumlet

Hi Martin,

Thanks a ton for your detailed feedback! We're thrilled to hear you appreciate the numerous features Gumlet offers for video hosting, including player customization, branding, and security. It's fantastic that you found the streaming speed impressive and the UI user-friendly.

Apologies for the delay in responding to your chat message about the logo upload issue. We understand the importance of timely support.

Your insights are invaluable as we strive to enhance our service.

Happy Streaming!

I found Gumlet to be very affordable compared to other services and that the way they organize clips helped me organize my collection

Pros

Gumlet makes is convenient to upload and share video material. I like that I can just drag and drop a clip and in a few minutes have a viewing page that I can share with a client or if I choose to do so an embed code for a website.

Cons

I found the streaming resolution can be reduced at times especially at the very start of a clip but once it starts playing the quality is very good.

A lot of the websites my web design agency creates feature fullscreen background videos, which can use up massive amounts of bandwidth, especially on high-traffic sites. Gumlet takes care of this by hosting and streaming the videos efficiently. Plus, it protects your media and is fully GDPR compliant, which is a huge priority for my agency.

Pros

What I love most about Gumlet, and the main reason I chose it, is its DRM encryption. I run a web design agency that offers video editing as part of our services. A while back, I discovered that another website was using a video we had created for one of our clients. Another designer had downloaded the video straight from my client’s site and used it for their own project without permission. To make matters worse, they didn’t even bother renaming the file, which made it extremely obvious the video had been stolen. My client sent them a cease-and-desist letter, and they took it down right away, but the experience left me worried. How many other designers could be using our videos without us knowing? That’s why Gumlet has been a game changer for me. With its DRM encryption, I can rest easy knowing our videos are protected and can’t be downloaded or used by others. It’s peace of mind.

Cons

Honestly, nothing at all. The dashboard is super intuitive, and if you ever have questions or need help with something, the support team is always quick to respond.

Pros

It has a robust ability in a very organized fashion to store various videos the user interface is very clean and intuitive.

Cons

It would be unfair for me to say anything in detail as I am still implementing this platform into our business. If I had to mention anything it would be to aware as with most software, there is a bit of a learning curve.

I've tried a few video hosting tools but this one really stands out the best! The user interface is really great and easy to navigate - not clunky at all. You can import videos from various sources which is a time saver. I love that it's mobile optimised as I use my phone for a lot of my content. Embedding videos is a breeze and the videos play smoothly with no issues like buffering. I like the analytics too - great to see what my users like (and don't like so much)!

Pros

Tough to pick one. I'd say the ease of use! I don't have to keep reminding myself where things are and how to navigate everytime I need to use it.

Cons

The limits are not on the generous side but the pricing allows for an upgrade if I ever need more bandwidth etc

A great alternative to Vimeo, Adilo, or even Wistia.

Reviewed on 2023/07/20

Pros

What I appreciated most about Gumlet was its user-centric approach to video hosting. The platform offers a more lenient upload policy compared to its competitors, which is a significant advantage for content creators dealing with larger video files. This flexibility allows for a more seamless and unrestricted creative process.Additionally, Gumlet's pricing structure is more cost-effective, making it an ideal choice for both individual creators and smaller businesses who are budget-conscious. This affordability does not compromise the quality of service, as Gumlet provides an intuitive interface and superior branding capabilities.Lastly, Gumlet's ability to manage content and audience is commendable. The platform offers a user-friendly way to control who sees your content, providing a level of flexibility that I found lacking in other services. This feature, combined with the other benefits, makes Gumlet a standout choice in the realm of video hosting SaaS.

Cons

The aspects of Gumlet that I found less satisfying were primarily related to video management and text formatting. Specifically, the inability to move videos from one collection to another was a limitation, and the lack of proper text formatting in video descriptions, which resulted in a visually unappealing wall of text, was a significant drawback.

Wistia

Reasons for Choosing Gumlet

I made the switch to Gumlet primarily because it offered more control over uploading large numbers of videos via an API. The platform's fast and quick loading times, comprehensive metrics, and reasonable cost structure were all key factors in my decision. These features provided the efficiency and affordability I was seeking in a video hosting service.

Solid product, even more solid team

Reviewed on 2023/12/07

Pros

The product does what it's supposed to do - it's well designed, generally and responsive. The interface is elegant, the workflow generally good. However, the thing that stands out is the responsive support. I never seem to catch them when they're not on top of things and responding. Almost every inquiry is answered within minutes.

Cons

They are a young company, so there are a few bugs here and there, and some workflow frustrations. (For example, if you change the processing profile at all, like adding another resolution - even a lower one later - you can't just reprocess the file, you have to reupload everything from scratch. So I hope you got it right the first time!)
