Overall Satisfaction with Gumlet

I create websites for clients. These often need video hosting which must be fast loading and reliable. I've used competing products for many years but, because of price, decided to try Gumlet a couple of months ago. I have two sites using it so far and the quality is comparable to more expensive services.

Pros

  • Hosting is fast and reliable
  • Easy to use
  • Automatically adds closed captioning
  • Player is customizable

Cons

  • The UI could be better, but it works
  • Would be nice to bulk upload videos from my computer
  • Fast, reliable hosting
  • Lower Price
  • Easy to use
  • Will lower my video hosting costs
Vimeo has a fine product. So far, I'm finding the quality of Gumlet to be just as good as Vimeo. One advantage Gumlet has is that it includes Closed Captioning. The other advantage is that I should save money by using Gumlet.

Gumlet is well-suited for hosting videos for websites. It is fast and reliable. It has been appropriate for all of my use cases. I'm sure there are scenarios where it would not be good to use but I have not stumbled upon one of those yet.
