Vimeo vs PowToon: Which is a better fit?

Jonathan T.: I'm Jonathan. I'm a founder at an E-learning company. This is my review for Vimeo. I give it four stars. Prior to Vimeo, I was using, I think, probably mostly YouTube to host my videos. Well, it's free. It's fast. It works pretty well. There are all, of course, ads and related videos, which aren't the case on Vimeo. I chose to switch my video over to Vimeo. It has a cleaner interface for the end user, has incredible controls for limiting downloads, and, in our particular use case, there is a really great way to have a page element display when the player got to a certain percentage. That was important for us on a sales page. So, for those reasons, we moved to Vimeo. It was pretty dang easy to move over to Vimeo. It's a very straight-up interface. You add your video over, give it a name, set some parameters, colors of a player, where it can be embedded, things like that. So, it was overall a very easy process. If you're looking at considering Vimeo, man, these days, there are so many options on the market, I'd look at a few different options for you. Try to forecast the use that you're going to have there, whether total number of videos, total hours or bandwidth, or views, whatever it might be, however the pricing is set up, and try to gauge your future use and cost and then see which features are going to give you what you need, especially those high-priority features that you're going to need as part of your stack.

Speaker 1: Hi, my name is Rebecca. I'm a graphic designer working for a nonprofit library, and I give PowToons five out of five. The other products that we were considering when we chose PowToon and made this decision, we were looking into iMovie, we were looking into Adobe products, and PowToon seemed easier, more user-friendly, and it overall was more cost-effective for our organization. With choosing PowToon, it was more user-friendly for beginners within our organization. We found that it was easier with the templates, with the different content, different applications that you can use within PowToon for our staff members, whether they were beginners or whether they had more video experience or more editing experience. So overall, PowToon was our choice. During the onboarding beginning stages of using PowToon, we first started it with a small group of our staff members and got them trained, and then they were able to work with other staff members who would use PowToon more widely. And overall, it was very easy to get started with PowToon, with the staff members on PowToons on their side, and they were able to answer any technical questions we had or any, either tiny questions that we had, and we were able to also find answers to questions on their website very easily. I would recommend to other organizations who are looking at PowToons, that if they're looking for something that's very user-friendly, straightforward, easy to use from just editing and exporting and sharing, PowToon is probably the right choice for you. There are so many capabilities within PowToon, that I feel that it could be beneficial for any organization.
