Replied April 2021 --- ### Good choice for video production - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ann B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Public Relations and Communications - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We used this at an agency I worked at. The designers were pleased with it, and the admin team were able to log in and make simple changes without design help. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Easy to use; nice tool to make high quality video #### Cons A learning curve if you want to do some fancier transitions, but it is possible and you can save and reusue the set up in later videos #### Reasons for choosing Vyond Graphics looked more unique and more options for customization #### Reasons for switching to Vyond Wanted something easier to use with more things built in --- ### This experience was VYOND frustrating! - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Timothy K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: December 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I wholly regret the decision of purchasing this software. The extreme lack of common, everyday items for props and character animations you find yourself needing, the bugs and poor customer service make it a thoroughly disappointing experience. After spending hours trying to make a two-minute video with realistic actions and props, you find yourself forced to be creative just to cope with the lack of what you assumed would be standard. If I could do it all over again, I would have tried different software. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros This software has a lot of templates that can help you create videos quickly without starting from scratch. It seems to be well-suited for beginners to create very simple videos. #### Cons Let's start by talking about the bugs. Several times a day I encounter "video cannot be played" errors when trying to preview the changes I make while editing. Also several times I've been kicked out and told I need to log in again while in the middle of editing a video I had been working on for over an hour. When this happens, I lose all the progress I've made since my last save, which tends to be significant. I contacted customer support who told me "this is fairly common" and I needed to clear my cache, clear my cookies, AND restart my PC. I asked if they could extend my subscription or offer any form of compensation to make up for the lost time. They said they "can't" do anything of the sort. So aside from the software bugs and poor customer service, let's dive into the problems with the features. At first glance, it almost seems like they have too many props, character action animations, and so forth. But once you begin to create videos with any level of detail or natural actions, you'll notice just how frustratingly limited it really is. Say you want to create a scene where a character walks through a door. You'll find just two door props that have an open and close animation, but no static props of a matching door staying open. Nor will you find a wall prop to go with that door. Want your character to order a drink in a bar? There's no animation for walking while holding a drink. I've run into dozens of similar limitations of things that should be commonplace. #### Vendor response I'm sorry you've been frustrated with our product. Are you a subscriber, or was this during your free-trial period? I've shared your feedback about the doors and drink holding. Please feel free to send us more feedback: community@vyond.com. Vyond's product features do include auto-save and version history. Like other SaaS products, our product requires you are on a stable internet connection. Replied January 2020 --- ### Say what you need to say through awesome Vyond animtion - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ana S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Vyond became a tool we use everyday to create infographic videos for the university's virtual courses. It allows us to present case studies or present a lot of complex data in visual form. We also have used it to create campaign videos for dengue and covid prevention. It's so much more effective to present information in this audiovisual, friendly form. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I like the user interface the most. It's so so easy to use. One can get a very professional animation with a few clicks and when used in a lot of detail, one can get a very cinematic look using the camera options Vyond offers. It makes the job so much easier. What we used to do in three weeks, we get done in three days. #### Cons I think the media library options could be improved. Especially for images, maybe it could have a better filter, could be with folders. Vyond's music is ok, but I believe there should be more, more diverse and filtered by moods/genres. #### Reasons for choosing Vyond A mix of things: price, quality, diversity, ease of use, illustrations style. #### Reasons for switching to Vyond We needed a better, more smooth, more modern-looking effect on the typical whiteboard animation style. We got it and got way more than we expected when we got Vyond. --- ### Vyond a Great Video Creation Tool - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Carol S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I love using Vyond to create training videos and interesting presentions to keep our employees engaged. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love that Vyond gies you the option to create videos with ease and you can use cartoon or serious characters. It has also improved on text to speech which I use a lot in my video creation. I love being able to create my own characters to use in my videos. #### Cons I think that Vyond can improve on their editing features. They need to make it easy to import mp4s and be able to edit them with the transitions and animation. They need to offer more options for clothing and features when creating characters. #### Reasons for switching to Vyond Vyond was easier to use and gave me the ease of creativity. #### Vendor response Carol, Thank you for your review.

Replied May 2022 --- ### Wide variety of applications for a wide range of skill levels - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. My first Vyond projects were change management prior to a big software implementation with a training push. The animations were engaging and could be sent out in microlearning sized chunks of 1-2 minutes of information about the new product. I've also used it to show scenarios before and after a new process or procedure, but my favorite is using it to provide animations to explain a concrete concept in a conceptual way before digging into detailed skills. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This software has many more built-in templates than similar products, and includes lip-sync and camera movement options that create a polished look. It's easy to start, although users with more practice will be able to create more engaging storytelling and learning events. I also like the options for purchasing for a short period of time, if needed. #### Cons It's expensive for a freelancer like myself to own a license at all times. I tend to get it for a quarter at a time on an as-needed basis. #### Reasons for choosing Vyond Flexibility, particularly for storytelling with built-in template options, music, and camera movement - more options than other products. #### Vendor response Thank you for your review. Please feel free to share feedback with us anytime at community@vyond.com. Replied April 2021 --- ### Vyond Makes Animation Easy! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Erin R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used other for less than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. #### Reasons for choosing Vyond The customization options and the resource library #### Vendor response 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. Replied April 2021 --- ### Quality Customization with Small Learning Curve - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. #### Reasons for choosing Vyond The cost and level of customizability. Cheaper options were too limited in what they allowed you to do. --- ### Fun Product to Use - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Sue W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Pharmaceuticals - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I use this to create fun, engaging communications. I love the support that I receive from Vyond. I'm currently taking a free 8-week training from Vyond on how to create better stories. What a class-act organization. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This is a fun product - both from my perspective as an Instructional Designer and from the aspect of being able to engage my end users. I can take a simple message and my users are so much more likely to click the link and view the message. There are so many options and it is fairly easy to use. Vyond has a lot of great resources to get you started but to also keep you learning. #### Cons I actually have nothing that I don't like about the software. #### Reasons for switching to Vyond The company I work for uses Vyond but I must say, Vyond is easier than VideoScribe and the end results are so much better. #### Vendor response Thank you for your review, Sue. We'd love to hear from you, especially about props, actions, or character features you would like us to add. Please feel free to connect with us anytime at community@vyond.com.

I love this tool - I can't see us using any other animation software. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I like the variety of templates that are included in the software. I also love the props, stock images and royalty-free music that is included. The software is easy to use, although it takes a while to truly master - like any software I suppose! #### Cons Being network/internet based, there can be a delay in adding or editing scenes. I've also experienced delays when trying to render videos. #### Reasons for choosing Vyond Vyond offers bigger libraries of templates, stock images and music. #### Vendor response Thank you for your review and feedback, Clint. Please feel free to connect or share feedback with us anytime at community@vyond.com. Replied April 2021 --- ### Nice video creation tool - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Vyond’s AI features greatly enhance production and are beneficial when guided by experience in video production. #### Cons Editing options remain limited, but future updates could increase flexibility and enhance overall functionality. #### Vendor response Thank you for this feedback & review!

Replied June 2026 --- ### I LOVE Vyond! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Tonya H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. After being tasked with creating training videos for my department, I was intimidated. Vyond has been AMAZING to work with! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love the ease of creating amazing videos! The system is very user-friendly and just fun to use! I'm thanful for that! #### Cons Honestly, I do not have a con! This is the first system I've used to create videos, and I couldn't be happier with it. --- ### A one-stop shop for all your video creation needs! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: March 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. This cloud-based platform has made my profile stronger because I have upskilled myself in animation. Within 2-3 days I was accustomed with the tool and the features, which it offered. I have become a fan of this software because of its smart design thinking with a variety of templates, music, and props to offer. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Although there are two to three competitors who has similar features, but what stands out for Vyond is the smart design, which is intuitive and the user-friendly platform enables anyone to quickly learn within 2-3 days. There are plenty of templates to choose from plus there is a library of props, music, and text to speech features. The most standout feature for me is the camera angle for panning and zooming. #### Cons If there could be an option for object morphing something like square to rectangle using camera angle it would be great. If 3D objects can be rotated and if there is an option to modify color of all the props then it will make Vyond more robust and competitive. --- ### Easy to Use for a Variety of Projects - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Carolyn W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, I highly recommend Vyond and it is one of my most used products while creating online courses. There are so many opportunities for creativity and the tool is designed in a way that makes is easy and fun to create custom assets for courses. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Vyond is easy to use for many different projects. There are a wide variety of pre-made icons, pictures, characters, etc. in the library or you can create your own. In addition, it is easy to upload photos, music or videos for projects. One of my favorite things to make in Vyond is GIFS. They are a quick and eye catching way to get information to learners. Their customer service team is also PHENOMENAL and they truly care about making sure the product is working for your team/your needs. #### Cons I wish they had more healthcare related assets in the library. Some of the items we need are very specialized and we have to find a way to create them ourselves either from imported pictures or by piecing together tubes, shapes, etc. from the library. A plus side is that a Vyond rep reached out to me directly about this and asked me for input so that they can talk to the production team. #### Reasons for choosing Vyond My colleague and I had both used Vyond in previous positions and loved working with the tool. It was a no-brainer when it came time to choose an animation software. #### Vendor response Thank you for your review and feedback, Carolyn. We are working on adding more healthcare assets and appreciate the insight you gave us. Please feel free to connect or share feedback with us anytime at community@vyond.com.

We use it for internal employee training and external consumer education. We are developing a series of how-to videos for some customer facing technology also, a first for us. It is easy and quick, so it allows my super small team to do a lot. As a non-profit I have to do a lot of work with a small team and and a small budget. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Vyond is easy to learn, easy to use, and we can create and deploy training quickly. We use it intnerally and externally for employees and customers. When you have people from the organization sending you emails that they enjoyed the mandatory compliance training, you know you are on the right track! Vyond makes that possible with fun, engaging characters, audio, ability to import video, images, audio, etc. And ease of exporting as .mp4 and then bringing into Captivate to make SCORM modules for our LMS. #### Cons The only thing I'm not happy with is the rudimentary formatting capabilities. It really needs to step up to PowerPoint's level of grouping. selecting, having a true selection panel. It gets the job done, and they enhance it frequently. But the clunky formatting is my only issue. It's improved a lot in the 2 years we've been using it. #### Reasons for choosing Vyond features, price, administration. I felt like Vyond had more to offer in one package, with more robust feature sets. Also, they have an active and engaged community and produce lots of content that they give away free to organizations as templates. I have used a lot of these, especially the COVID related topics. #### Vendor response Thank you for your review and feedback, Amy. We also appreciate your insight on the formatting issues. I'll share this with the team. Please feel free to connect or share feedback with us anytime at community@vyond.com. Replied April 2021 --- ### Great for microlearning! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jennifer C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Human Resources - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I started using Vyond about six months ago to create a series of microlearning videos on my company's core values. I had previously used Powtoons, which was user-friendly as well, but not as robust. I found Vyond to be extremely easy to learn as someone with no experience going in. The character sets are pretty comprehensive on their own, but the addition of the character creator was awesome! It allowed me to create one character I could use for consistency throughout each of my videos that won't be seen anywhere else. The developers at Vyond are also consistently releasing enhancements (finally there's align/distribute options) and idea videos that truly do improve the quality of what I'm creating and delivering. Text-to-speech options are pretty standard, too. Vyond does have a Community site that is very helpful and they frequently host office hours and workshops for budding and experienced developers alike. Using their resources and community, it's easy to have my Vyond questions answered. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Ease of use; variety of characters, poses, actions, objects; character creator; entrance and exit effects; screen transitions; consistent improvement by developers #### Cons Need more animated objects for whiteboard videos; I feel like most of the development and new character and object sets are for the colorized versions of videos; some text-to-speech sounds VERY mechanical #### Reasons for choosing Vyond Vyond is what we (the L&D team) decided had better capabilities and a more robust library of templates and characters for the money. #### Reasons for switching to Vyond Vyond is what we (the L&D team) decided had better capabilities and a more robust library of templates and characters for the money. --- ### Vyond Review - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Shamael K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Legal Services - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. My overall experience over the past 3-4 months has been amazing. The team at Vyond is very proficient with disseminating information on updates through blog posts and webinars. I have devised so many tips and tricks of my own to animate scripts. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Vyond is quite easy to use and not very hard for one to get proficient at it. The updates are frequent and always to the benefit of the users. Because of the glut of actions/characters in Vyond library, a video can be made more expressive with smart use of continue scene and instant effect. Despite its limitation, if one is applicable enough they can devise new tricks to animate a script to make it more communicable. #### Cons I feel the software has a long way to go to match industry-standard tools like After Effects. Having said that, adding more features would make Vyond complicated for a user not familiar with any animating software (thus losing on its user-friendliness). But one can always use third-party software to compensate for the limitations of Vyond. I feel more can be done on actions with a character using a prop. A feature that allows a user to change props used by a character in an action would really help. Perhaps Vyond can have two versions. One for an uninitiated user with all the simple-to-master tools and interface and one for the more experienced Vyond user with the option to customize actions or create new actions. --- ### Good product - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ralph V. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Financial Services - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. #### Reasons for choosing Vyond I already bought Vyond but keep getting enticing Powtoon offers which are 40% below Vyond's yearly price. #### Vendor response Thank you for your review, Ralph. Your suggestion for a "Frequently Used Actions" section is excellent and I will share this with the team. Please feel free to share feedback with us anytime at community@vyond.com.

Vyond is such a great animation tool. I would highly recommend this to anyone that is wanting to create more engaging content. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The library of animation actions that is available in Vyond 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! #### Reasons for choosing Vyond 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. --- ### I enjoy using Vyond so much that I used it for my Father's Celebration of Life Video! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Cheryl O. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I've enjoyed using Vyond 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! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Vyond 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. --- ### Epic! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kirk J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Games - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Vyond 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. #### Vendor response 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.

Replied April 2021 --- ### Leveraging Vyond for soft skill training - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Andy R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used other for less than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Vyond 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. #### Reasons 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. #### Vendor response 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.

As a user, I love Vyond. 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! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Vyond 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 Vyond 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. #### Vendor response 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. Please feel free to connect or share feedback with us anytime at community@vyond.com. Replied June 2021 --- ### Engaging method for learning content - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Michelle M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Insurance - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Very happy with the pre-built templates for generating ideas with color schemes, settings, character actions, etc. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. #### Reasons for choosing Vyond This software was added in addition to other standard learning technologies for our business. --- ### Vyond Animated Video Software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Michaela w. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Chemicals - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. #### Vendor response 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 Replied March 2021 ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/vyond-profile/reviews/?page=2) --- Vyond Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
