Not as expected

I really wanted to love Publitio. At first, it seemed like the perfect tool, but after a few weeks we decided to get a refund and just use a different tool.

We needed it for delivering videos on our landing pages, which get a lot of paid traffic. So fast playing videos are key.

Unfortunately, this was not the case with publitio. We got a lot of buffering. Especially on mobile phones. Sometimes it took 5-10 seconds for the video to continue.
I tried different resolutions and settings, but the delivery speed was not reliable.
I compared Publitio with vimeo and bunny stream. This is a difference like day and night.

I am pretty sure, Publitio might be a good choice for you, if you need it for a Video-course, where speed is not the n1 priority. In our case, the performance was not good enough.

The good things:
+ support is really fast, even though not always helpful.
+ The limits are great, if you compare it to other LTD on AppSumo.

Bad things:

- not as fast, as Vimeo, YouTube or bunny stream.
- a lot of lagging and buffering on mobile
- payer design is not really up to date (subjective)

Hi

speed should not be a problem at all - as Publitio is currently on Tier 1 network (we have quite astonishing monthly bill) and our CDN infrastructure is global https://publit.io/community/blog/cdn-by-default-publitio-infrastructure-explained

slow speeds & buffering may occur due to several reasons, like internet connectivity between countries (which is beyond our control, and if I'm right you are customer with visitors from Indonesia), ISP may have their own problems (also beyond our control), caching of files/videos on local servers (this is only time when file is accessed directly from storage buckets in United States, while CDN copy is made), high load on infrastructure at the moment (until scaling of servers happen), hls keys decryption (requires additional step) and hls videos are in chunks of 10-30 seconds, so initial play could take few seconds to happen till whole chunk is loaded)

player will be better - we will add more skins and options

thank you for your comments
