Interactive Animated Presentations
Interactive storytelling in presentations took shorter time than before.
PROSPowtoon is simple, interactive and provides all basic functions for motion graphics to be used as a presentation.
CONSIt's web-based to due which browser got very heavy when working on larger projects.
Reason for choosing PowToon
Due to visual characters and animation as compared to simple textual animation.

Powtoons is Amazing
I have created dozens of videos for internal comms, advertising, recruiting and training. It has made my life so easy and with great reward and outcome.
PROSThis is a super simple app to create fun and vibrant communications pieces either with cartoons or video.
CONSI think customer service could be much better. I don't think I've ever gotten ahold of a live person.
Reasons for switching to PowToon
I didn't exactly make a total switch because I still need to edit some video before dropping it in to Powtoons, but the functionality of Powtoons and its ability to drag and drop anything into the video at any time is so cool. And it has a huge database of photos, video, and other tidbits.

Fun Video Creation Software
We are able to use PowTown to create short, professional-looking videos fairly quickly. It's a great option for an explainer video.
PROSI like the animated illustrated character options. It's fun to create videos using these characters. I think they make the video more engaging for viewers than a simple text-on-screen video.
CONSIt can be a little tedious to edit videos. There are a lot of feature options, which is great, but it can make it difficult to find the exact spot in the video that you want to edit.

Unethical Company with an easy to use product
I keep going back and forth with them.. they keep making unneccessary changes and I am always finding myself on the backfoot. As a south african.. i cant afford to pay dollars to upgrade every time they are on a WHIM to change what we can and CAN NOT have as a PRO user. (they literally are forcing you to get pro plus and not all of us can actually afford that)
PROSThe product is easy to use, and response on queries is quick
CONSI find this company to have some ETHICS problems. I have a PRO accoutn. And will create a numbe rof vidoes with different elements using my account. TWO MONTHS LATER i will want to edit something / add a translation.. and my vidoes are UNUSEABLE as they have upgraded some of my features for PRO PLUS users only.. almost forcing me to need to UPGRADE in order to use MY OWN vidoes i created 2 months ago. I find this very unethical. Now i cant redo those videos for my clients (who need some translating done) unless i PAY to upgrade. Its like they force you to upgrade to use a video you created 2 months ago.
Reasons for switching to PowToon
Financial.. vyond was more expensive and powtoon were having a sale - i think it was black friday.. and as someone from a low income country.. i had to make the move
