Clean, Intuitive Platform with Many Features!

I am an instructor and offer my classes through my own online platform. I was using youtube unlisted for unlimited storage and Swarmify to encode and present an unbranded video player to my students. Swarmify offers unlimited bandwidth and fast 3% rebuffer rate. Its limits are based on the total number of videos watched per month, which was working very well for me. I decided to make the switch over to Adilo because even though its limits are based on total bandwidth used, it offers many features that Swarmify does not including:

- Branding - You can include your branding in the video player of Adilo.
- Analytics - There are many more analytics to view, including impressions, views, watch time, devices used, real-time activity, top videos, total clickthrough rate and total email captures.
- Video Customizations - You can customize the appearance, thumbnail, controls, privacy and add video chapters.
- Call to Action - You can add video call to actions.
- Storage - All videos can be stored on the cloud at Adilo without having to use YouTube. It makes the whole process easier and more organized and streamlined.

Adilo does include some additional security features that Swarmify does not as well. They allow you to apply anti-piracy multi-DRM licenses and watermarking to a certain number of videos. However, I feel these features are not really effective. In order for your videos to be fully protected, DRM and watermarking should be able to be applied to all videos instead of just a small number of them. I would have given their platform 5 stars except for the limited security. However, if they offered these security features for all videos, I think their platform would be unstoppable.
