"Go one step beyond with Vyond..."
What do you like best about Vyond?

The latest additions, such as AI Avatars and Vyond Go, which allow you to create content from a text prompt, are truly elevating Vyond to a new level. I have been following and using Vyond since its early GoAnimate days, and it continues to improve with each update. These new features help me develop fresh approaches to presenting my training materials more quickly, which makes me very satisfied. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vyond?

There is definitely room for further improvement when it comes to templates; in my opinion, updating and refining templates should be an ongoing effort. Another area that could use attention is the limited availability of backward views for characters and props. I often find myself needing to animate a character from behind or create an over-the-shoulder perspective, but the current options make this difficult. While it is possible to approximate these views by constructing characters out of shapes, this approach is both time-consuming and limits the range of animation possible.

"Very Easy to use product"
What do you like best about Vyond?

There are few good things about Vyond that I love:

1. Once you set a backdrop for a video, you can actually save it as a template and use it next time. This is helpful when I create videos that should reflect the Brand

2. The fact that now I can give a topic or a script and Vyond can create videos out of it is really awesome!

3. Creating Avatars using my own image or something that I would love in an avatar is simply amazing

4. The text to Image really works well, though with time I guess it will get better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vyond?

1. The pre-existing templates needs to be checked by the team on a regular basis and improvise or increase the inventory of it.

2. The Modern avatars do have limited customization compared to the traditional characters, like the lipstick colors, shoe styles, hair styles and body types.

3. I guess integrating a higher or better version of AI in text to video generation feature would bring fantastic results. I am sure the team is working on it though.

4. If you can add a tool like AI Prompt writer, which will assist us in refining prompts specifically for Vyond video/text generation, that would be an absolute show. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Content Creation with an Extensive Library"
What do you like best about Vyond?

My favorite thing about Vyond is how easy it is to use. Because it is so easy, I can create content much quicker, which allows me to do other things. I also love the amount of content available for us to use in Vyond's library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vyond?

The one thing I dislike about Vyond is the lack of control we have over some of the animations. I would like to change the colors on some of those, but that is just splitting hairs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love its vast assets for seamless creating very attractive and engaging animations to market our products. It neat interface for easier navigation.

"looking for a quick explainer video development.. then its time to think Vyond"
What do you like best about Vyond?

The most amazing part of Vyond is its gradual learning curve, Any one can learn how to animate in Vyond and also implement your training videos with just few clicks. It has AI based Voiceover with ease of integration. When u get stuck it has amazing customer support also. Once you start animating in Vyond you will use it frequently Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vyond?

The quality of translations tends to throw errors when the upper word count limit is reached. I would recommend increasing the word count allowance for translations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you so much for the feedback on word count with translations. This will be passed to our product team!

"Long-term, committed customer"
What do you like best about Vyond?

I appreciate that they consistently add new features each month and offer a lot of live and asynchronous training on their platform for free and through the community. Their CX crew is top notch. I probably reach out to them once a year and I've always beyond impressed. They're kind, competent, and always resolve my issue, no matter how big it might seem, within minutes. I've been a user for almost 4 years and nothing else compares to Vyond. It's easy to use and I use static images in PPTs and e-learnings as well as GIFs and videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vyond?

I wish they would improve their search function with the character creation area. I can end up wasting more time than I like trying to find the right clothing, hairstyle, etc. It's not easy to find what I'm looking for even when I know it exists. I'd also love a list of all the actions. There's no way I'm aware of all of them and many times I just happen upon new ones that are really useful. It would save me a lot of time if I could export HQ still images directly in Vyond instead of downloading a video and then going through other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Endless Creative Options and Effortless Customization"

Its simple but can also be as complicated as you want it, you can customise or commit with pre made graphics/characters/props. I have never been unable to deliver my intended outcome. The options are endless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-friendly and Fun for Teaching Materials"
What do you like best about Vyond?

I love that Vyond is so easy to use that you can get very far without training. This makes it accessible for users of all skill levels. Additionally, I appreciate the ease with which you can create voice-overs and quickly adjust them later, making the creation process much more efficient. The fact that Vyond enables animations makes the material more fun and engaging for learners. I am also pleased with the ever-increasing amount of elements becoming available for factories, which indicates that Vyond is continuously expanding and adapting to the needs of different industries. And because Vyond is online, the initial installation is also simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"3Es: Exciting, Engaging and Easy"
What do you like best about Vyond?

I like the range of characters and templates I can use to create videos. The tool is relatively easy to use, for the most part. Once the video is created, I feel a sense of accomplishment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vyond?

I find that creating longer videos (2 minutes or more) can become tedious. It can be taxing, so I keep my videos about 1 to 1.5 minutes. However, the tools is best used for shorter videos, I think.

The captioning is difficult for me. I can't understand why it is so hard. I have been using the YouTube captioning tool, which is not ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best help videos ever"
What do you like best about Vyond?

Vyond is easy to use, and I love being able to independently create videos that contain action and dialogue in my role as an Instructional Designer. One of the things that makes it so accessible is the help videos. When I have questions, I can always find the answers, and they are accompanied by video that walks me through how to do whatever it is I want to do. Also, the one time I reached out to Customer Support, I got a response almost immediately, and the person on the other end followed up until the issue was resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vyond?

For some reason the volume of the characters' voices is automatically faded at the end of their dialogue. I've tried extending the scene to see if this helps, but their voices fade as their speaking part ends. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
