Overal the video delivery is ultrafast and amazing optimization capabilities. Getting improved video delivery performance, reduced buffering, and enhanced user experience with it's player.

PROS

The best thing I loved is the easy controls and superb speed(no buffering). The customer support is amazing and understands our needs. We integrated with S3.

CONS

The docs about S3 should be detailed. Other than that I feel there's no cons.

Reasons for switching to Gumlet

The major problem was buffering issues at BunnyCDN.

Best vimeo replacement

I must admit, I was initially skeptical about Gumlet. Over the years, I've tried numerous tools to streamline and optimize my video content, but always found myself reverting back to Vimeo. However, my experience with Gumlet has completely changed my perspective. The first thing that caught my eye was Gumlet's comprehensive suite of features. Unlike many other platforms I've previously used, Gumlet provides all the necessary tools that I've been searching for. It's the first service that has been able to successfully replace Vimeo for me. One of the standout features is the video player. The design is sleek, visually appealing, and most importantly, customizable, allowing me to tailor the look and feel of the player to suit my needs. This level of customization is something I've struggled to find elsewhere. Another huge plus is Gumlet's ability to bulk-process videos, a feature that, surprisingly, is still not available on Vimeo. This has significantly improved my workflow, saving me valuable time and effort. However, the main selling point for me has to be the speed at which videos load across all devices. I've found this to be a common issue amongst many video hosting platforms, but not with Gumlet. Regardless of the device, my videos load quickly and smoothly, greatly enhancing the user experience. In summary, my experience with Gumlet has been overwhelmingly positive. I've been incredibly satisfied with the all-round service provided and would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a robust, reliable, and efficient video hosting solution.

PROS

bulk edit your videos very fast streaming great looking player

CONS

bandwidth of 2TB is not that much. This could be higher for the growth plan.

Reasons for switching to Gumlet

too expensive bandwidth, if you need more than 2TB

Experience seamless video hosting with Gumlet - a must-have platform for content creators

Not everyone needs the Gumlet, but those who use it will immediately gain the tools it to make your business more professional. In addition to video hosting, Gumlet provides detailed analytics tools that offer insights into audience demographics, watch time, and engagement metrics.

But the best reason to invest in Gumlet is to protect your videos from unauthorized downloading - and protecting your intellectual property. Gumlet's user privacy and data security tools are strong measures to protect your videos from going viral. A great choice for us content creators.

PROS

So the question is why should you use Gumlet to host your video instead of using YouTube or Vimeo or other free ad sponsored services? It comes down to taking your business to the next level. I am new to Gumlet platform — I needed something better for hosting my short videos to my clients without obstructive ads and better analytics. What won me is the easy to use platform - and the tools — so many tools to deliver high-quality video to my clients - no hassles. I especially liked the video resolution choices, high streaming quality, and upload speed of my content. Bottom line the user-friendly interface and high-quality streaming options make Gumlet an ideal platform for us content creators and creatives.

CONS

The upload process takes a bit of acclimation. It's a bit intimidating at first -- I wish we had two levels - normal and expert -- and I wish we had more options once the video is live.

Affordable Video Hosting with Many Features

I utilize Gumlet for hosting videos related to my business. I am genuinely amazed by its exceptionally fast loading times. It provides unmatched reliability, affording me the flexibility to either incorporate these videos into my business website or establish a separate channel that matches my specific goals. Additionally, the feature of creating chapters greatly improves the quality of my videos.

PROS

Gumlet provides a reliable and economical option for video storage, posing as a competitive substitute to platforms such as YouTube or Vimeo. Furthermore, it allows you to select your desired video processing resolution, enhancing its appeal. It boasts impressive playback speeds and the inclusion of DRM ensures the security of your videos.

CONS

Having more customization choices for the channel's homepage and a selection of theme options would be advantageous. The user dashboard's interface could be improved for simpler navigation. The need for a separate Apple Fairplay subscription for DRM is unfortunate.

Reason for choosing Gumlet

I chose Gumlet over Vimeo because of long-term cost considerations. I also chose Gumlet over Adilo because of a terrible customer service experience I had with them.
