Likelihood to Recommend I think Bambuser is well suited in a scenario when there are specific trends in the fashion and cosmetics industries about a product and people want to know what the hype is about, streaming videos about such products give a clarity of the product and a good decision making ability to the users to buy it or not
Read full review Not sure on the negative use case because it does exactly what I need it to do. Made client website look more professional without having ads displayed. WordPress integration was clean and simple. Shared links were a lifesaver, no need anymore for having to build a landing page. Saved hours in our workflow.
Read full review Pros Stream Live video and lets users shop online live! add to cart functionality redirects to the brand's page once added items to the cart Read full review The dynamic watermark is excellent in case people are that dedicated to stealing content, the watermark protects videos from being recorded by embedding the name or ID associated with the account viewing/recording the video to know who's releasing the content into the public. Total video and player branding - it's not account-wide, but collection or even video specific (as far as I could tell) - so it's easy to clients with their own collection without having to create a new account everytime In general, the features for the price is great. Gumlet provides far more functions than the big name video hosts.

Settings are not always found where one would expect them, also data management with tagging and search still needs refinement. Working with thousands of files in numerous categories could get challenging. The team, however, is aware of these shortcomings and is working on improvements. We would greatly profit from files which remain linked to their source, once they got uploaded to the Gumlet platform. If his was the case, one could replace background music, refine text or improve colour grading without manual re-uploads and having to re-attach videos to pages. Gumlet supports already watermarks, but it would also be handy to have simple option to set text / overlay graphics just for the thumbnail.

Responsive teams mean the product is going to continue to improve and deliver.
Read full review Usability Probably unfair to take a point off for this. It took a little while to navigate all of the options. This is a more complex platform than I was used to. And I am fairly new overall to CDN video hosting platforms. It took the first day to get comfortable with what we could do and how to manage it. But, it now all makes perfect sense and I prefer this layout.
Read full review Support Rating This is probably the biggest factor for Gumlet. Their support team is fantastic and always professional. Most support inquiries through their chat get answered in minutes.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Used the Douglas live streaming feature many a times, very very similar experience and not much of a difference, but like the fact that Bambusers streaming is smoother, would love to see Bambusers live stream on many brands as well as other 1-1 features which help the introvert shoppers like me
Read full review When you log into Gumlet the difference becomes apparent immediately. The sleek and data friendly dashboard puts all the important details right in front of your face. The upload and transcode speeds of Gumlet is also steps above VadooTV. Gumlet has top notch support and customer service where VadooTV is difficult to contact and has a slow response time if any response is received at all
