Likelihood to Recommend
Not sure on the negative use case because it does exactly what I need it to do. Made client website look more professional without having ads displayed. WordPress integration was clean and simple. Shared links were a lifesaver, no need anymore for having to build a landing page. Saved hours in our workflow.

Pros
  • The dynamic watermark is excellent in case people are that dedicated to stealing content, the watermark protects videos from being recorded by embedding the name or ID associated with the account viewing/recording the video to know who's releasing the content into the public.
  • Total video and player branding - it's not account-wide, but collection or even video specific (as far as I could tell) - so it's easy to clients with their own collection without having to create a new account everytime
  • In general, the features for the price is great. Gumlet provides far more functions than the big name video hosts.

Cons
  • The following terms used for organizing videos are confusing - Video collections, Video channels, Playlists, and Video Library
  • Though Gumlet allows to add CTA, it would be great if we could collect emails before the video starts to play
  • Provide a switch to activate dark mode manually

Likelihood to Renew
1 is because I have purchased the lifetime offer from Appsumo, therefore does not need to renew any subscription from Gumlet, however the monthly subscription of the custom domain is makes us quite limited in terms of using 1 account to host few domains.

Usability
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.

This is probably the biggest factor for Gumlet. Their support team is fantastic and always professional. Most support inquiries through their chat get answered in minutes.

It was quick and easy. We found that the import from Vimeo wasn't pulling in the highest original quality so we manually uploaded our clips.

Alternatives Considered
I was a Vimeo subscriber for over 10 years, and - finally - Gumlet seems to be a fine replacement. The lifetime deal makes it very attractive to me, which is why I switched over from Vimeo. Google Drive and YouTube can deliver some of the features I need, but not all (player customization, no ads, etc.). Gumlet does everything I need so far and even offers some improvements over my old Vimeo plan (e.g. geoblocking).
