If you need to created membership Netflix-style Channels, this is a game changer

  • November 28, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating Membership Video Channels in WordPress is time-consuming and puts the burden of maintenance on the owner of the website. It also uses the resources of the website hosting service. Creating a branded Channel on Gumlet was pretty easy and takes the burden of manually creating membership Channels for videos very easy. As a website developer I like Gumlet because I can create and manage multiple Membership Channels for my other clients.

One of the best deal for video hosting & optimization platform that is simple and easy

  • November 28, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I got a Tier 6 from Appsumo's Black Friday Deal 2024. By far the best options to choose from?

1) You can host not only videos (Up to 4k Resolution), but they also provide Image CDN (Which is not the best value in terms of pricing IMO). With their Image CDN, and if you're hosting your website in Wordpress, you can easily turn on Gumlet's Image CDN with just one click. Simple & easy. DRM protected feature is also a value added ones.

2) Choosing a CDN we will see how good the delivery speed of the content (video or image), in my case, Gumlet's bandwidth are blazingly fast. Although I did not test it on 4k Video, 1080p video are no bufferings at all, just play instantly. Also, the publishing options widget makes it easier to embed in websites, emails, or share URLs easily.

3) Best for Freelancers / SMEs / Influencers which would like to share their high quality video contents on their desired platform (Either websites, social media platform, email).
What do you dislike about the product?
1) Gumlet's Image CDN (Which is not the best value in terms of pricing IMO) is a separate pricing compared with their Video CDN. Felt that there are cheapest solutions when comes to Image CDN, such as Bunny CDN, Imgix, Strapi etc)

2) In Gumlet's "Collection", this act as a workspace where I could categorize my videos. Gumlet's Video unable to move video that was uploaded from a collection to another collection. I did contact their support and they have confirmed that the feature will not be implemented in the near future as well (https://feedback.gumlet.com/feature-requests/p/move-videos-between-collections).

3) One thing to take note while using Gumlet's Image CDN Wordpress plugins. In my website's Gumlet settings, lazy load image activated, auto compress image activate, use original images activated, browser webp detect activated, Use width activated. I'm using Bricks builder as page builder, if Gumlet CDN is activated, sometimes it will cause Bricks Builder Page builder turns blank page. I'll keep Gumlet plugin deactivated if I would like to do edit and turn it on later on. Maybe there can be some improvement in this area.

4) Lastly, it's the quota limitation for Videos uploaded to the server (Count by minutes). Would be happier if it's file storage or video quantities rather than minutes as it felt inssuficient. Also, in my Appsumo Tier 6 package did not include Image CDN & DRM. The offer is not full fledged, some services allowed subscriptions only.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Basically Gumlet provide me a video hosting solution which I could share my high quality videos privately or publicly.


A Game-Changer for Video Hosting and Protection

What do you like best about the product?
Gumlet Video has been a revelation in our video content strategy. Its robust dual-DRM encryption effectively protects our content from piracy and unauthorized access, which gives us immense peace of mind. The platform's features, such as unlimited video uploads, customizable players, and detailed video analytics, are incredible for enhancing our viewer engagement and optimizing our content. Additionally, the intuitive video CMS and seamless integration with services like Vimeo and S3 make managing our video library effortless.
What do you dislike about the product?
The multitude of features and customization options can be overwhelming for new users. It may take some time to get fully acquainted with the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Online videos are vulnerable to piracy, illegal downloads, and unauthorized access, which can harm the content creator's revenue and intellectual property. Gumlet Video employs robust dual-DRM encryption (FairPlay and Widevine) to protect videos from being downloaded or accessed without permission. This ensures that my content remains secure and monetizable.

Hosting and Protecting Edicational Video Contant

  • November 26, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
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 suport is nice.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A platform to host educational video content I produce. It lets me host and deliver the content in a secure way to prevent piracy. The image optimization CDN is great too, makes the website load faster.

The video hosting tool I've been waiting for

  • November 26, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I've tried a few video hosting tools but this one really stands out the best! The user interface is really great and easy to navigate - not clunky at all. You can import videos from various sources which is a time saver. I love that it's mobile optimised as I use my phone for a lot of my content. Embedding videos is a breeze and the videos play smoothly with no issues like buffering. I like the analytics too - great to see what my users like (and don't like so much)!
What do you dislike about the product?
The limits are not on the generous side but the pricing allows for an upgrade if I ever need more bandwidth etc
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My previous video host started having issues but still raised their prices so I went on the market for something reliable and affordable. That's when I came accros Gumlet. So far no issues! Their support is great too so I'm hopeful they'll sort out anything that may come up in future
