Animated videos can be easily created using PowToon
Initially when I started using the platform, the features and functionalities seemed very difficult to understand. Once I understood the same I was able to professional animated videos. The videos made looked like the ones created by an experienced professional.
PROS- PowToon offers large number of animated templates - Graphic and character quality is good - Royalty free music and objects are available for paid version
CONS- Much customization is not possible - Downloaded files are heavy - A little expensive
Reasons for switching to PowToon
Lumen5 cannot help you created animated videos.

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.

Powtoon
Not great they say they would be creating new content and we have had the service for 6 months with absolutely no content updates
PROSYou can put multiple layers of text on one slide and customize where it will show up.
CONSThey have absolutely zero content. They say they have marketing videos but they are only 10 seconds long and random. We no longer use this software.
Reason for choosing PowToon
We ended up purchasing promo as well because promo has a wide range and variety of videos and music that works a lot better than Powtoon. Very disappointed in Powtoon.

Don't Need to Be a Video Production Expert to Make Great Marketing Videos
It has been very positive and was really a self-service platform. I have yet to deal with any person on the customer support side, we purchased the tool and onboarded completely independently and that is a testament to the UX/UI team at Powtoon. It is very straightforward and simple to use right away!
PROSI liked how straightforward the use of the product was. I created 10-12 videos in a two-week span that were all ~60sec animated videos for usage in video advertising. It was very easy to learn, the platform auto-saves your progress so there's no fear of losing information, and it saves your video in whatever format you require. The templates are typically all I needed for videos, so I didn't have to start from scratch on any of my ideas. It has been a good experience and I will use the tool whenever we need to create a quick animated short!
CONSThe pricing was a bit confusing. We initially signed up for a base tier where we thought we'd have more functionality based on the description. When we got into the system we realized that immediately we'd need to upgrade from "Lite" to "Professional" in order to get the most out of the system and templates. We needed to remove watermarks and unlock key features, so we jumped to Pro. It wasn't outrageous to jump in price, but it was a snag as we had to get the new cost approved again internally.
Reason for choosing PowToon
We liked a couple of the templates on Powtoon for our initial use case better than the alternative solution we looked at.
