Pros Une fois formée par un formateur , ce qui a été mon cas, c'est facile à prendre en main. On peut faire rapidement une animation sympathique avec des personnages pré-définis Cons Si on n'en a pas un usage régulier, c'est cher. De plus, le compte est clôturé si on ne maintient pas l'abonnement. On ne peut pas s'abonner pour 1 mois ou 3 mois ou 6 mois : ce serait un vrai plus Reason for choosing Vyond Facilité d'usage et d'abonnement en ligne. Formation de prise en main du logiciel en distanciel et disponible rapidement. Review Source TG Teresa G. Instructional Designer Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Lots of Fun" April 14, 2021 5.0 I absolutely love adding videos to explain a concept or define something towards the beginning of a learning solution. It helps set a fun, light-hearted, and often-times humorous tone, which also helps the learner connect with the video and creates the buy-in we look for from learners when they are getting into a learning solution. That buy-in helps the content imprint in their memories. :) Pros I love how many character actions and prop options are available. It's so easy and super fun creating videos with . Cons I always find a need for more character building (like additional clothing and accessory options), action, and prop options. I also find it challenging when I add a sound effect that is very short and I need to move it on the timeline...I end up having to extend the length of it to be able to move it then I have to try to get it back to the length it was prior to extending and moving it. Alternatives considered [Powtoon](https://www.capterra.com/p/140321/PowToon/) Reason for choosing Vyond seemed easier to use and had so many more eye catching, engaging options for building fun videos. Learners love when we include Vyond videos in our learning solutions. Review Source RV Ralph V. Owner Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good product" April 12, 2021 5.0 Decent amount of templates and environments available. There can never be enough of these, please continue making more. I keep losing character's action continuing when Continue Scene option is used to extend scenes where character is performing actions. So if a character is explaining something and looking left, his arm/body re-orients to the Continued Scene if I decide character's head looks right, instead of left for new Continued Scene. This makes simple, fluid character actions like arm moves and stance appear choppy and incongruent. Pros Templates speed up the mundane tasks of creating moving images and environments. Cons Lots more templates needed. Get ride of the amputee options that always seem to appear first for any character actions. Simple actions like "Standing" or "Talking" often return amputees as first option with regular appearing options further down the Actions List. Or perhaps have a group of Frequently Used Actions for characters instead so I don't have to scroll all the way down for the ones I need in each desired action. Reason for choosing Vyond I already bought but keep getting enticing Powtoon offers which are 40% below Vyond's yearly price. Review Source Response from GoAnimate April 27, 2021 Thank you for your review, Ralph. Your suggestion for a "Frequently Used Actions" section is excellent and I will share this with the team.

Instructional Designer Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for fast explainer videos" April 12, 2021 5.0 has helped me to develop content for both soft and technical skills training in a way that is engaging, visually appealing, and fun for adult learners. It is customizable enough to work for most L&D teams. I appreciate that it also allows me to occasionally add some humor to e-learnings (when appropriate for the right audience). I've used it collaboratively with teammates in the past and have easily onboarded others to the program. Pros has a great asset library and the UI is pretty straightforward. I've used it to develop training in the past. It also is easy to add narration to custom characters and upload your own assets for inclusion in videos. It has a wealth of customizable templates. Cons The zoom/pan function can get a bit tricky and cause the editor to crash. Also note with any cloud-based products info security is always a consideration. Alternatives considered [Powtoon](https://www.capterra.com/p/140321/PowToon/)[VideoScribe](https://www.capterra.com/p/182209/VideoScribe/) Reason for choosing Vyond Best repository/library of templates and visual assets that are easily customized. Easy editor. Review Source Response from GoAnimate April 27, 2021 Thank you for your review, Ellen. Also, thanks for the feedback on the Zoom/Pan function. I'll share this with our team.

Executive Director Judiciary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User friendly, wide usage" April 13, 2021 5.0 Very good. Been a customer for a few years and intend to stick with this company as it grows. Pros is relatively easy to use and has templates, props, and scenes to suit most circumstances. Cons Certain professions, sports, hobbies, and scenes, if included, will easily make this a far more superior tool. For example, I couldn’t find characters or costumes for a dance scene I needed. I had wanted to illustrate stress relieve hobbies people can pick up during quarantine like sewing, but not available. Also I am not sure why there’s no “talk HAPPY but no lip sync” option. Reason for choosing Vyond Truth be told, it was because at that time, only Goanimate offered a free trial period. I tried it. And I decided to continue with it. Switched from [Powtoon](https://www.capterra.com/p/140321/PowToon/) is a lot more expensive but overall functions are more complete. But vyond lacks the superhero storylines that pow toon has.

Senior Instructional Designer Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple tool adds so much value" April 13, 2021 5.0 Our course engagement has increased among our learners, and surveys are showing a great response to eLearnings that include videos. I've greatly enjoyed using Vyond over the years. It's one of the best tools in my training toolbox. Pros The ability to show a concept to my learners in such a way that is engaging, and helps people who learn best with video. Cons A format painter would be great, especially for customizing templates. Switched from [Toonly](https://www.capterra.com/p/205553/Toonly/) Ease of use with and the quality/aesthetic of the product is much better than Toonly Review Source Response from GoAnimate April 29, 2021 Thank you for your review and feedback, Amy.

VR Verified Reviewer Communications Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Vyond Yourself" April 13, 2021 4.0 Exceptional. I am a power user of this product and it is by far and away the best visual storytelling tool for distilling fine-grain concepts into high-level education. Pros Features of TTS (text to speech Amazon Polly) as well as customizable options. Cons 255 character limit in TTS foreign language captures. It makes for laborious back and forth when you are working with voice-over scripts of 1-3 minutes. Reason for choosing Vyond Customization and the TTS feature. Review Source Response from GoAnimate June 9, 2021 Thank you for your review and feedback. We also appreciate your insight on the limitation of our TTS feature. I'll share this with the team.

Managing Partner Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple to use tool" July 24, 2021 5.0 is such a great animation tool. I would highly recommend this to anyone that is wanting to create more engaging content. Pros The library of animation actions that is available in is amazing. The character customisation also allows you to build animated characters that resemble anyone you choose. I use this software to produce videos for my clients and when they see the animated versions of themselves, they always have a good laugh. Cons Depending on the length of the animation, it may take some time to convert. The end result is definitely worth the wait though! Reason for choosing Vyond 's animation was more dynamic and offered more variety in animating characters and objects. Although Toonly was a cheaper option, the "look and feel" of the final animation from Vyond is much nicer. Review Source Deborah S. Learning and Development Information Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Vyond for your Presentations" January 6, 2022 5.0 Pros I LOVE using . It allows me to create videos easily and quickly. I can animate on-screen characters easily and the software allows me to use a text-to-screen dialog that will animate the characters so it looks like the characters are speaking. In addition, support is great - I ask a question and get answers quickly. Cons Not being able to start a small scene in the middle as I create the video (that consists of a number of scenes). Being able to do so would allow me to adjust the dialog and animation a bit easier (no need to go through each scene again and again to adjust something towards the end). Review Source Cheryl O. eLearning Content Writer, Developer and Coach E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I enjoy using Vyond so much that I used it for my Father's Celebration of Life Video!" April 27, 2021 5.0 I've enjoyed using over the last 18 months. I've created personal videos, portfolio showcase videos, and videos for clients. It's user-friendly and makes a great asset for eLearning modules as it engages learners. If the commercial fee was removed then I would use it a lot more. It seems nuts to pay $100 each time you want to share the files with a client. Follow Articulate's lead (Storyline 360 and Rise) and let us share without the fee. You'll see much more use by waiving the fee. Otherwise, it's one of my fave authoring tools! Pros is user-friendly and easy to create videos for both personal projects and eLearning modules. I also love the free Storytelling tour with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and use his tips when creating Vyond videos. Cons I'd love it if we could create our own characters, import different music and NOT pay the fee for commercial use per video. We already pay the licensing fee - it should be enough - similar to what Articulate does for us. Review Source EB Elizabeth B. Senior Manager, Talent Development Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "VYOND Makes Learning Better, Easier, More FUN, and Effective" April 13, 2021 5.0 I love it. Everyone who sees the end result loves to engage with the content. Pros I love that can take even the dryest content and make it sparkle! Every week there are improvements that make it easier to use and adds great elements to make things pop! The templates are hugely helpful in learning and there is a TON of great customer support through webinars and learning. Cons My one request for the developers is... when replacing characters, it would be amazing if you didn't have to reset their actions all the time. It would be nice if you could substitute characters and they would take on the same effects as the one you are swapping them out for. It would be A HUGE time saver. Reason for choosing Vyond I love !! It's fabulous Review Source Response from GoAnimate April 29, 2021 Thank you for your review and feedback, Elizabeth. We also appreciate your insight on the issue with replacing a character. I'll share this with the team. Please feel free to connect or share feedback with us anytime at community@vyond.com. KJ Kirk J. Instructional Designer Computer Games Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Epic!" April 12, 2021 5.0 Pros is easy to learn and has a robust set of props, characters, expressions, etc. that allow us to enhance our training content with storytelling elements. Since implementing Vyond, we've produced more video content faster, and with better engagement from employees. Cons Overall we're very happy- I would like to see a number of 'quality of life' improvements to make working within the tool faster, as well as continued growth of the props, characters, etc. Specifically white board style options. Review Source Response from GoAnimate April 27, 2021 Thank you for your review, Kirk. What kind of tools or quality of life improvements are you looking for us to prioritize adding? I'll also share with the team your request for more additions to the whiteboard style. Please feel free to share feedback with us anytime at community@vyond.com. Erin R. Creative Design Specialist Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Vyond Makes Animation Easy!" April 12, 2021 5.0 It's been great! My company asked if I could create animated explainer videos for them (which I've hadn't done before) but once I found this software, it was a no brainer. I've been able to create professional, clean animated videos to highlight and promote our products. Pros The range of flexibility you have to make customizations, the ease of use, the library full of characters, props, templates, etc. Cons Sometimes you need to be creative and think outside of the box to execute the animation you want - this may involve outside programs. Alternatives considered [Powtoon](https://www.capterra.com/p/140321/PowToon/)[Animaker](https://www.capterra.com/p/166064/Animaker/) Reason for choosing Vyond The customization options and the resource library Review Source Response from GoAnimate April 21, 2021 Thank you for your review, Erin. What kinds of backgrounds, props, poses, or actions can we add to make your work easier? Please feel free to share with us at community@vyond.com. JD Jennifer D. Corporate Trainer Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love this software!" April 12, 2021 5.0 The benefits are so many with this platform - fun, creative, engaging content can be creative for multiple audiences. I use it to create an image, gifs, AND videos. There are so many purposes! The templates are helpful and can easily be modified. Pros makes it easy to create images, gifs, AND videos that support employee engagement initiatives and of course for all types of training. I am able to create fun, informative graphics and videos that enhance the training the develop. Cons As a one person L & D department, I would like the ability to create contemporary characters. It's only available on the Professional platform and I'd really like to see it as an option on the Premium option. I don't need a scalable, teams platform as I am a one person team! Alternatives considered [Powtoon](https://www.capterra.com/p/140321/PowToon/) Reason for choosing Vyond The ability to create animated videos with character actions - not just animated powerpoints or slides.

VR Verified Reviewer Content Developer Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Animated Videos made Quick and Easy!" June 10, 2019 4.0 I used this software to create engaging animated video's for various business requests. Pros The feature i enjoyed the most is the timeline that allows me to view without having to leave the editor page. I that the developers of the software take their user feedback and recommendations into account when rolling out updates. Cons Its not much of an issue, but if a desktop application can be developed that will allow me to save an offline copy of the project and not rely to much on the internet. Review Source AR Andy R. Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Leveraging Vyond for soft skill training" April 12, 2021 4.0 has helped provide a different option for my trainers, as well as other staff across the company developing training materials. We've had staff reach out asking to create new videos because they saw a Vyond video and felt that it would be a great vehicle for their topic. Pros The ability to showcase or develop an e-learning based on a soft skill (e.g., presentation skills, communication skills, managing remote teams, etc.) without having to rely on static images or slides which was how we typically did this. The customizable avatars, scenes, and animated quality of the visuals bring a new dynamic to our company wide training pushes which has been receiving very positive reviews from staff. Cons There is not the ability to incorporate clicks or learner interaction with the video. Would be nice to incorporate a different output format (HTML5) where a user could interact with a quiz or a "choose your own adventure" type story. Reason for choosing Vyond It was cheaper and appeared to have more flexibility than the other options. The overall style and look of the visuals/assets was preferable as well. Review Source Response from GoAnimate April 14, 2021 Thank you for your review, Andy. I'll share your feedback with the product team about interactivity and output formats. We love to hear from you any time you have feedback like this. Please feel free to connect with us at community@vyond.com. Progyamita "Reema" B. Director of instructional services Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Bring your stories to life" April 13, 2021 5.0 Pros We learn better when we can make a connection. Digital storytelling with is at its best. During my tenure at a previous job, I used it to create small stories of discrimination that were easy for the learners to resonate with rather than reading a scenario. I have used Vyond to demonstrate how functions like how does the web works? No matter what your end goal is, Vyond brings it to life. Gives the content meaning and ease of understanding for the learners. Cons As much as I love the fact there is no installation needed to get started with , but at times I think the speed of the internet (especially when we are all working from home) creates a few hiccups at times. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Instructional Designer Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Quality Customization with Small Learning Curve" April 13, 2021 5.0 Pros I love the level of control over interactions and how easy it is to tweak animations to match just about any requirement that comes up with an e-learning script. Even for new users, the time it takes to get started is pretty minimal. Cons I wish there was a way to import your own character assets in order to further customize the videos. While there are a ton of options to make your own characters, being able to add your own models would make it easier to align to internal branding. Alternatives considered [Powtoon](https://www.capterra.com/p/140321/PowToon/)[Animaker](https://www.capterra.com/p/166064/Animaker/)[Moovly](https://www.capterra.com/p/141489/Moovly/) Reason for choosing Vyond The cost and level of customizability. Cheaper options were too limited in what they allowed you to do. Review Source CG Carrie G. Instructional Designer Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Can't imagine life without it" April 13, 2021 5.0 As a user, I love . It's fun and easy to learn. But more importantly my viewers (company employees) consistently love the end product. It makes out training so engaging! Pros is super easy to learn which makes it a great product for those who have little to no experience in video development. I love that as a creator you have the option to make things as complex or simple as you like. As I've grown my skills my videos have become more and more complex but some of my colleagues who are still new to the product create equally awesome videos with just the standard assets and templates provided. Cons can be tough to use on a small laptop screen. Some additional customizability for the layout would be great, but since the program is web-based and not downloaded, it's understandable that the functionality is lacking in that regard. Review Source Response from GoAnimate June 9, 2021 Thank you for your review and feedback, Carrie. We also appreciate your insight desire to customize our interface. I'll share this with the team.

CEO Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perfect tool for our businesses that help in making interactive and animated video with zero technic" September 10, 2022 5.0 is a video platform that allows us to create, edit and then share video stories with our audience. Vyond is the perfect tool for businesses looking to create animated, interactive videos without any technical skills or expensive software. Whether you are an individual or a business, you can use Vyond to add an extra dimension of interactivity to your videos and engage your audience. Pros working with has helped us to build a brand of our own, as well as identify and define how we want to be seen through an eye-catching animation videos. The platform has helped us to create a unique brand and visual style for our content, and we look forward to continuing to grow our brand through the platform. Cons is a highly intuitive platform that enables us to create animated videos, explainer videos, whiteboard videos, and more. Review Source MM Michelle M. Global Learning Content Developer Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Engaging method for learning content" May 18, 2021 4.0 Very happy with the pre-built templates for generating ideas with color schemes, settings, character actions, etc. Pros Some of the most beneficial features of this software for our business learning deployment is that the animated nature is engaging. Insurance isn't typically the most "fun" content to deploy to our new claims and underwriting staff. But the characters and animations offered make the content more engaging and allows us to deploy learning in a enjoyable way. Also, the ability to split the audio files easily on the scene is very helpful than having to edit in another software and then import again. Also, the props, characters and music that is built in are very helpful! Also, the auto save feature and ability to easily share content with others makes this software a HUGE plus! Cons Since this product is web based, at times, depending on my connect, I have to "reload" the video when a connection is disrupted. Also, I would like to see more features added to have characters more seamlessly transition with actions, walking, talking, stopping, etc. Reason for choosing Vyond This software was added in addition to other standard learning technologies for our business. Review Source CL Chia-Wen L. Customer Success Manager Think Tanks Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Vyond is so fantastic in producing professional but interesting video" April 13, 2021 4.0 is an easy-using platform. Even though I do not have any animation background, I can still learn and use Vyond to produce professional videos in a short period of time. Pros provides lots of templates for users, so I can easily construct my ideas through these templates, then customized them to fit my demand. Besides, I can also make my personal characters with different styles, and use the character to represent me since I am not comfortable with camera. Last but not least, the interface is quite easy to understand and use. Cons Since my company is Taiwanese reseller team, sometimes I have to hold a seminar to teach HR how to use . However, because the link-sharing function is locked for free trial account, so they cannot share their work with other colleagues, or present their work to boss. Moreover, sometimes the sharing link is not workable on mobile, so this situation might keep some people from buying Vyond. Alternatives considered [Powtoon](https://www.capterra.com/p/140321/PowToon/) Reason for choosing Vyond Abundant templates and attractive functions (such as movements and facial expression) Review Source Response from GoAnimate April 29, 2021 Thank you for your review and feedback, Chia-Wen.

Learning and Development Specialist Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Vyond Animated Video Software" March 18, 2021 5.0 We use it for so many different things, small learning moments, scenarios, and video explanations. It really gets the job done and shows something the learner wants to pay attention to. Pros This software is by far one of the easiest softwares to use, learn, and create absolutely brilliant and engaging work. I absolutely love how great everything looks and the sky is really the limit with what you can do. Cons The only thing I don't like about it is that you can't make the background invisible and it doesn't have specific dimensions in the software. I'd like the ability to remove the background to put them in my eLearnings and have the video be different sizes. Review Source Response from GoAnimate March 22, 2021 Thank you for your review, Michaela! We also appreciate your feedback. We are working on supporting size variation and hopefully will release this to the product in the near future. For transparent backgrounds, we aren't as close to adding this feature yet. We do have some great suggestions and videos for using Adobe After Effects and Vyond in combination to achieve a transparent background. https://vyond.force.com/community/s/feed/0D51Q00007aW7cbSAC BB Brandi B. Enablement Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Tackle.io Feedback" April 13, 2021 4.0 I've always enjoyed using the product and I will say that the UI has gotten a lot easier to work with since the acquisition. I'm still happy using this platform. I would like to see another branch come that is focused on helping developers create visual concepts that are less human-oriented but more concept oriented. I know the Contemporary setup is better suited for my needs in that realm but I end up using Moovly.com for that. Another cool idea would be to develop a Comic or Pop-Art section to allow development of scenes and stories using that design. That would be really awesome!! Pros I like that there are 3 options to do different-looking videos. It's great software for adding a human element to concepts. Cons The original character scenery could use some updating. It's been the same for about 5 years from what I can tell. I did use this product when it was GoAnimate and a lot of the backgrounds are the same. Additionally, I paid a fair monthly price for access and am disappointed that I have to pay even more to be able to edit Contemporary characters. That actually urked me. Reason for choosing Vyond Still determining if we will do a year subscription of based on how our team feels about the look of the videos. Review Source Response from GoAnimate April 29, 2021 Thank you for your review and feedback, Brandi. We also appreciate your insight on the backgrounds in the business-friendly style.

Pros features an easy to use 2d animation editor. With a mix of templates, pre-built scenes and the ability to upload your own images, it can service all your animation video needs. Cons The ONLY thing that I dislike about is the inability to export individual assets in high-res. Sometimes it might be useful to export a character for a powerpoint deck, but you have to export a gif or other non-high res version.
