Overall Satisfaction with Publitio

We use Publitio to host the audio files for our online repository of event talks. Publitio is accessed by several team members. We are able to batch upload the audio and determine the final url based on a standard syntax--we don't have to copy the url of each file because we know what it will be.
Publitio has been consistently reliable and unremarkable--in a good way. I am not aware of any outages in our approximately five years of use.
  • Playback is fast
  • The service is secure. I recall no downtime.
  • The platform offers multiple security options.
  • Files are easily made downloadable.
  • Lots of options for format conversions are available.
  • It's easier to set up Publitio than an AWS bucket for non-IT users.
  • The user interface works fine but is not particularly intuitive.
  • Documentation is not always clear and simple.
  • Publitio has taken load off our site's server, enabling us to keep the site faster.
  • Publitio offers solid dependability, meaning our visitors can always listen to what they need.
  • Publitio's affordable pricing makes asset storage sustainable.
We were able to find great pricing on Publitio. Even though Publitio is not particularly streamlined, it is still a little less technical than S3 for non-developer users. Publitio is both managed (unlike AWS and Vultr) and competitively priced--and it offers content management features that may be key for some folks.

Would you buy Publitio again?

Yes

Publitio works great for serving media of almost all kinds. Although we don't use this, Publitio has a transform-by-url feature that allows website managers to serve different image sizes and formats by changing the url. If you need reliable image, video, and audio hosting, Publitio is a solid choice. The service is less well developed for document content such as DOCX files.

Using Publitio

3 - Site management, site content management
2 - Publitio requires only basic familiarity with SAAS protocols. In order to take advantage of all its programmatic feature, more advanced knowledge of webhooks would be required.
