Pros

“For us, this was the only possible way that was secure at that time.”

Anton V.

Founder

“JW Player is a free multimedia player plugin itintegrated in web browsers to view multimedia content.”

Arshad A.

Media Studies

Pros

“Being able to watermark videos with the custom options and use DRM protection gives me peace of mind for my paid courses, the security features are exactly what I needed I also really appreciate that storage is charged by "video minutes" rather than file size which is a huge cost-saving.”

Dr D.

Independent researcher

“Another feature I really appreciate is the player's customization: I can hide the progress bar, place the logo wherever I want, disable all controls, or even enable a download button when needed.”

Andrés L.

Consultant

“I like the fact that I can control my media, my live streams, my library and folders, with privacy features that are unmatched.”

anthony g.

Owner

Cons

“First of all, there is a significant lack of integration possibilities and modern tools.”

Anton V.

Founder

“Only thing I didn't like is its cost though it is worth your every penny spent but still I had to think twice before making purchase.”

MADHUR S.

Owner

Cons

“Gumlet lets me select any frame or upload an image for a thumbnail, but I miss having a built-in thumbnail creator for more eye catching designs.”

Gioacchino F.

Marketing

“The combination of extra payment for CNAME and an alteration of the storage updating system does make the budgeting side of things difficult for businesses trying to be cost neutral in regards to their media hosting fees.”

Caleb S.

NCLEX Tutor

“It needs a little more attention as its a page I use a lot when sharing content with clients and it does not reflect the gumlet look and feel.”
