I like that Gumlet is affordable and much cheaper than competitors while offering generous storage limits. It's also very customizable, allowing me to edit how I want to display my videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would love to have custom CNAMEs for the videos (not just the channel). Currently, they're all on the account that I have domain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They recently included "AI chapters & descriptions" and that's awesome! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They keep going on the right path. Nothing to add!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cheaper alternative to Vimeo. The videos load fast and I can have my own branding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Gumlet is its seamless media optimization. It ensures fast load times by automatically adjusting to user devices and network conditions. Integration is simple, the analytics are insightful, and the pricing is fair, especially with bandwidth savings. Overall, it's a reliable and user-friendly solution.

I've noticed a couple of things that could be better: The user interface could be more intuitive, and I'd appreciate faster response times from customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've tried a bunch of video hosting platforms, and Gumlet is hands-down one of the best. It's super easy to use, even for someone like me who isn't a tech whiz. I love how I can organize my videos into collections and folders, and the dashboard is really intuitive. The video quality is fantastic – it loads quickly and plays smoothly, way better than some others I've used (cough, BunnyStream, cough). Plus, they have some really cool features like custom CNAME for branding, DRM, and dynamic watermarks, which is great for protecting my content. Whether you're hosting online courses, marketing videos, or just need a reliable way to stream video, I'd definitely recommend checking out Gumlet. It's been a game-changer for me.

its one of of the cheapest softwares for video hosting, but i wish it was even cheaper Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- The most important features in Gumlet are the DRM (Digital Rights Management) and the dynamic watermarking, which I like very much. I am planning to create online courses. I spent at least 5 years finding the best online piracy protector SaaS. It looks like I found the solution to protect my content.

- On the Gumlet website, there is a DRM-protected sample video. I tested it with many screen recording software, and guess what? I couldn't play the recording file properly. The whole screen was grey. I tried downloading this video sample with the popular Video Download Helper extension (Mozilla Firefox), and it didn't work either.

- I'm not a programmer. The learning curve will be tough for me, I think. For example, it's hard to figure out how to set up an API key for WordPress LMS (LearnDash), etc.

- They have a documentation page. I have reviewed it. I hope the whole setup might not be so complicated.

- Gumlet has a YouTube tutorial channel, although the last content was uploaded in 2023.

- I hope the CEO will upload fresh, helpful videos to their YouTube channel in the near future.

- Update: On November 30, 2024, in a Zoom meeting, Gumlet’s co-founder, Divyesh Patel, promised that in 2025 they will upload tutorial videos to the Gumlet YT channel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gumlet has fewer restrictions which allows for more advanced and authentic video creations especially functional for presentations, online training and clear vision. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There should be more 3D video articles to assist in more realistic imagery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have a client who wanted to have a video series subscription service on her WordPress website. I created a makeshift way to do this. When I told her about the ability for Gumlet to provide Netflix-style Membership Channels, she immediately saw the value and we purchased Gumlet. Creating a branded Channel was pretty easy. As a website developer I like Gumlet because I can create and manage multiple Membership Channels for my other clients.

I also like how the videos have protection from being copied vs Youtube or Vimeo. Most of my clients do not want people watching embedded videos on their website and then bouncing out to Youtube or Vimeo.

It's true, the videos do load very fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Areas where I think Gumlet needs improvement are:

1) Support for clients in the USA. Gumlet gives you the ability to book your own time slot for live support but times range from 9:30pm to 5:30am. If they want more USA clients they really need to provide business hour support.

2) I also wanted the Channel feature to provide a member payment features, which Gumlet does not have but says it is in the making to be released at a future date. Not having this mean I need to create my own payment portal and used an automation tool like TaskMagic to create the Gumlet registration invite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For an educational business, content is the most valuable commodity. If you invest your time and resources into developing content only to have it copied, you lose. You also need a way to distribute that content that is efficient and presents a great user experience. It needs to be fast and easy and not distract from the user experience. A good content platform facilitates the learning process. This means the platform also has to be optimized for delivery and speed anywhere the students are participating. And last it needs to have an interface to make managing the content easy. Gumlet does all this and it does it fantastically. The interface for content producer and consumer is super polished and intuitive. The optimized image CDN is a nice bonus. The subscribable streaming service is a nice feature too. 4K support is nice.

There are a lot of settings to fiddle with, some are a little confusing so you have to look through the documentation to make sure you don't mess up access to the content for the consumer. If you DRM a video, there is not an undo option. Some of the documentation links are broken. Seems like they need to clean up a bit. Would like more visual options like folders and tags to organize content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
