Overall Satisfaction with Vyond (formerly GoAnimate)

I create scientific training for biotechnology instruments that our customers use. I have created many training and procedural videos with Vyond.
  • Ease of use and easy to get started.
  • Many well animated templates to choose from.
  • Videos look very professional yet are fun to follow.
  • Time to result is very quick.
  • Company is always putting out tutorials and webinars.
  • I work in Bio-technology. They have introduced nice Healthcare templates and props to use. However, if they can keep adding props and templates to the scientific area that would be of use to me.
  • The timeline can sometimes be a little hard to read, particular if you add features.
  • The music selection is limited. If they could add more music to the audio selection that would be good.
  • I love the text to speech but it can be time consuming to add to every frame. If they can make this easier it would be good.
  • High level professional quality animation.
  • Ability to easily customize and tailor it to our content.
  • Ability to make videos fast because of their large template and prop library.
  • Customers have been able to self-train on our instruments using their videos as opposed to having a scientific trainer go in.
  • We have been able to use videos in certifications that we sell and offer our customers.
  • Since the videos can be made fairly quickly, it saves instructional design time and effort.
Biteable is great for real-world footage. It is also easy to use and they have templates. However, Biteable is not as easy to use as Vyond and doesn't have customization options. It takes me a lot longer to use Biteable and the program is a little bit "clunkier".

Vyond is wonderful if you are making training videos. It is also nice for summary or instructional videos. I like to start my courses with a Vyond video because it gives my learners the idea that the course will be both useful, fun, and professional-looking. It is not well suited if you have a lot of "real world" footage since it is an animated platform. Also, you have to consider whether animation may minimize the value of what you are presenting. So in my case, for some items, scientists may not take it seriously. We sometimes have to show the actual video footage of our instruments as opposed to showing it in an animated video.
