Overall Satisfaction with Gumlet

We are hosting videos for our and our clients' websites on the platform. This includes both decorative and authoritative videos since web hosting is typically not optimal for hosting and streaming videos. We were looking for a video hosting solution since many clients want to use videos in their website hero sections, and came across Gumlet at an opportune time.

Pros

  • Video hosting
  • Image Hosting
  • Stream videos

Cons

  • More streamlined UI
  • Improve webhook setup
  • Add native integrations for automations
  • We bundle video streaming into our website maintenance services and Gumlet is one of the many tools that helps us justify a higher price point and better ROI for the client
  • We are still new to Gumlet but I can see the possibility of using Gumlet for live streamed videos
  • The DRM management helps protect video copyrights and reduce copyright infringement
  • The image management helps with image optimization, resizing, etc.
It is already at a very good place in terms of delivering what it is intended to do. Of course, there are always opportunities to improve. Gumlet is replacing strong video hosting services like Vimeo, YouTube, Wistia etc. so it needs to be positioned to deliver video streaming competitively to be relevant and worth recommending.

Do you think Gumlet delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Gumlet's feature set?

Yes

Did Gumlet live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Gumlet go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Gumlet again?

Yes

I recommend all clients host videos using Gumlet as opposed to using free third-party platforms like YouTube or self-hosting on a web host. Gumlet handles video/streaming and image hosting well without a high ticket price. Some clients are averse to spend money on video hosting so we recommend they get on the Gumlet Free Forever plan to get them into the mindset to think about video hosting differently.
