    Cloudinary handles pretty much anything you have related to images. From serving them up efficiently to adding transformations on the fly, there's really little this service doesn't do. Their pricing plans allow you to grow into the right levels and their website dashboards are very helpful. I would easily recommend this for all but the simplest of use cases.

    Gumlet
    Gumlet has been consistently reliable whenever we need to deliver video assets for internal projects or client work. As mentioned earlier, DRM protection and livestreaming are two standout strengths. We moved from Vimeo to Gumlet and haven’t regretted it. That said, if you need native social media integrations to go live or schedule posts, this isn’t the right tool. It’s also not ideal for monetized channels or large private audiences, as the current limits on private subscribers and profiles are relatively low.

    • Watching videos together in a group, synchronously, works perfectly – no stuttering, no pixelation, no audio dropouts, even if someone only has mediocre internet.
    • The automatic adjustment of video quality to each individual's internet speed ensures that the best quality is always delivered without me having to worry about it.
    • Videos start instantly and without loading time, which is a huge difference compared to our previous LMS and makes the flow of live events appear relaxed and professional.
    • Das gemeinsame, synchrone Anschauen von Videos in einer Gruppe funktioniert absolut stabil – kein Ruckeln, kein Verpixeln, keine Ton-Aussetzer, sogar wenn jemand nur mittelmäßiges Internet hat.
    • Die automatische Anpassung der Videoqualität an die Internetgeschwindigkeit jeder einzelnen Person sorgt dafür, dass immer die beste Qualität geliefert wird, ohne dass ich mich darum kümmern muss.
    • Videos starten sofort und ohne Ladezeit, was im Vergleich zu unserem bisherigen LMS ein riesiger Unterschied ist und den Ablauf bei Live-Events entspannt und professionell wirken lässt.

    Cons
    Cloudinary
    • Their API does require URLs that can get quite lengthy and not always easy to parse on sight.
    • Documentation on how transformations work and what they actually do to your image could be clearer (what does force_strip actually mean?).
    • Although a free tier exists and is quite generous, should you need to acquire a premium plan for your needs the pricing at scale can climb quickly.

    • I would like the ability to set a higher minimum playing resolution so that videos aren't blurry at the start.
    • Coming from Vimeo I would like to see a Chrome extension or Windows application to record my screen similar to what Loom has.
    • I would like to see sub folder in playlists within collections. Currently I can only have top level playlists.

    I’d rate our likelihood to renew at a clear 10, because Gumlet has become such an integral part of how we deliver, protect and scale our video content. The platform consistently performs without issues, the playback quality is excellent, and the security features give us peace of mind that no other tool matched. Beyond reliability, Gumlet keeps adding meaningful improvements such as AI subtitles, interactive elements, and better analytics, which continue to streamline our workflow and increase engagement without extra effort from our team. At this point, switching to anything else would feel like a step backwards, both in efficiency and overall video experience.

    The dashboard is simple to navigate. It's easy to view my videos and organize them. It just makes sense. I don't have to guess where to find anything. I also love the import tool and the ability to set up players based on my collections. This type of customization will save me time!

    We rarely use their support. But when we need it they are always there. They provide great consultation and suggestions to help us manage our costs and resources better. In the last 8 years perhaps we have contacted them 3 or 4 times - which is really really great

    I had a quick technical question prior to purchase and a live-chat CSR gave me quick and helpful advice. I appreciate being able to clarify matters via live chat and prefer that over phone calls and emails.

    It was quick and easy. We found that the import from Vimeo wasn't pulling in the highest original quality so we manually uploaded our clips.

    Cloudinary seemed to be the most sophisticated with the most documentation and platform support. Other solutions seemed to be a lot harder to implement, however, due to the good documentation and API samples on their GitHub we were able to implement it nicely. Additionally, they have a lot of really well-known brands using them like Wired, Sky News, and eBay which gave us a lot of confidence that this was a good robust solution to use and to help others with

    They have all the same features and keep adding more, generating landing pages for video share was huge for us. Ease of use, no ads. cost, it really doesn't compete. We're very happy with the outputted quality of the video exports and the ability to manage DRM for video protection was built into the app. A huge bang for the buck here. Can't wait to update or try out more new features. The biggest thing I love is that they listen to their customers and work to implement suggestions from the community.
