    In my experience, I have used PicsArt in lots of projects which helped me to complete the projects on time with satisfactory results. Mostly I use the Android app which is super easy to use. I have created multiple templates for my business. But I think it should remove the watermark on video editing also in the free version. It helped us to create unique pre-designed templates with step by step process. Apart from that, I have never faced any issues with this tool.

    Powtoon is a very capable suite of tools that help a developer create training videos that look way better than they should. I've used it to create fun, attention-getting commercials for new topics, I've used it to enhance what would otherwise be boring step-by-step tutorials, and I've used it to create all manner of "Explainer videos" for all kinds of topics - this is where it EXCELS! In my opinion, its biggest limitations are limits on imported video (max of 90 seconds), which mean that you have to do a lot of extra work to break up and import anything of substantive length. And because it presents your personal library of imported images and audio ONLY sequentially, it's VERY LIMITED in the re-usability of those assets - it's way faster to just import a new instance of an image and audio than to try to find it in your library.

    Pros
    Picsart, Inc
    • Basic Photo Editing - more robust than your basic iPhone photo editing tools, but much simpler (yet still powerful) and user-friendly than Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.
    • Filters - a large variety of simple and complex photo filters with the ability to adjust the strength. A nice blend of filters can really enhance a photo without making it look heavily filtered.
    • User friendly - all across the board, this app is super easy to use and really powerful too. I can't imagine editing a photo on my phone without it.

    Cons
    Picsart, Inc
    • There are a lot of features available to only paying subscribers, but all those features still appear for the nonpaying user, marked by the crown icon. Particularly with filters and stickers, it can be annoying to scroll through the majority of locked options to find the handful that is free. A filter option would be nice.
    • It would be nice to have access to previous projects where you could still go back and undo edits you've made. The draft feature seems to only be good for one project at a time.
    • Layers would be nice. That way when you use a sticker or add a photo on top and go on to make more edits, you could still move them around instead of just having to undo everything and re-add the stick or additional photo.

    • Comparing it to Vyond, it is more time consuming to make videos. The timeline could be easier to understand.
    • They recently started upcharging to use some scenes. This has made updating some of my videos challenging as the scenes that were included as part of my plan are now an upgrade to use.
    • They don't have a voice over option. I have actually taken some of the videos out of the platform over to Vyond to add voiceover.
    • Some items they have introduced, like turning a powerpoint into a video really don't work.

    I have never needed the support feature. As I mentioned, everything was intuitive to me however I have taught myself Adobe, Final Cut and iMovie so most of these programs became intuitive.

    I used Lucidchart to develop architect-level integration flow diagrams to visualise integration flow. But Picsart has a user-friendly UI to develop and edit HQ pictures as per business requirements but some options are an enterprise where we need to pay and purchase those features and filters to use them while editing images.

    Powtoon has the advantage over traditional video editing software in terms of the library of characters and elements that can be easily dragged and dropped onto the canvas. Powtoon is easier to use and has a more intuitive user interface than Vyond.

    Return on Investment
    Picsart, Inc
    • It has a positive impact of decreasing time taken to create graphics for presentations
    • It has a positive impact of decreasing time taken to create annotated videos with text and sound
    • It lacks advanced editing features, hence has a somewhat negative impact by not facilitating imagination of users

    • We don't have to spend money on traveling to a location to do an actual live shoot.
    • I'm spending less time on hand animating videos.
    • We used these to create teaser videos for our professional development offerings. I believe because of the captivating graphics, we had a lot more people driven to our site.
