We have used zoom, google meet or youtube to manage our videos in the past. But both did not seem to be as seamless for everyone to use it. Loom came in to provide an easy way for everyone to use video and share screens or communicate in general. Loom integrates with slack and …
I tried other solutions for video feedback and none of them could match how quick and easy the video recording and sharing is on Loom. Also the consistency of the recordings and reliability is crucial.
Loom: Loom offers both free and paid plans. The free plan includes basic features and limitations, while the paid plans unlock additional functionalities such as longer video recordings, HD quality, and more advanced sharing options. Either way, quite affordable Vidyard: …
When we evaluated the alternatives, Loom was by far the most advanced tool, with multiple types of integrations. Additionally, Loom also provided a Free plan, which made it easy to consider as an alternative. Vidyard and similar tools integrated better with certain other tools …
Honestly, before using Loom, I was recording videos from my cell phone and sending them through Whatsapp or Telegram to try to send large file sizes! I know there are other screen recording tools, but Loom's web interface with all the settings just knocks it out of the park for …
I selected Loom because of product superiority and intuitiveness. Loom has high quality videos compared to others, the Freemium tier is very exciting in Loom. Loom is a multipurpose tool that comes to our help in many areas- whereas other tools are more focused on a specific …
I didn't use any other product like Loom. Skype or Viber just won't work for what I needed. I talked with people who used other products but didn't try one myself. Loom was the first to try and I stayed with it. I was satisfied enough with Loom that I didn't feel like exploring …
I prefer loom to droplr because of its easy interface. I had to take extra time to learn how to become effective with Droplr, while Loom felt self explanatory.
Zoom's recording feature has been helpful before Loom, but I appreciate that with Loom I can go back and re-record something if I made a mistake. It's much easier.
Simplified version of ScreenFlow, not as comprehensive as ScreenFlow in terms of features, but it does the trick for making short training videos. If you just want to capture something on-screen and not do a lot of editing, then Loom is perfect for that. Great for generating …
I tried lots of different screen recording software but ultimately chose Loom because it had the simplest and most user-friendly UI. There are certainly more advanced apps, like ScreenFlow, but my use case is fairly simple—I just want to be able to record video/screen-shares as …
I've used Camstasia and Screen-o-Matic to record screen capture videos in the past. These 2 options at the time didn't have an online platform to upload the videos, so I uploaded it to Youtube or Google Drive so my collaborators could watch them. Loom is easier than them, as it …
Loom solves something that no one else is even trying to solve. Quick visualization of your online experience. Every other solution that records your screen takes time to render the video before it can be shared. Loom is taking the magic of sharing a screenshot of your computer …
Loom is the best video screen sharer that we have come across. Its ease of use and relative value in its free product make it an easy stand out when we went looking for a platform to use. Though there are different video recording platforms out there that can do similar things …
I also have used eCamm and Quicktime for screen-share/screen recordings. All of the tools here require some patch working of a screen recording, uploading the video to a hosting site, and then eventually sending it to the client. Huge time suck!
I used to use Zoom to do screen capture video - even I don't have someone else in a video conference - just because it does a good job of creating screen captures. But that's not really what Zoom is designed to do. Now, when I need to do a fast, low-production-value, …
There are plenty of screengrab / screen recording tools out there. I like loom based on it's simplicity for acheiving regularly occuring challenges. I don't typically need anything heavier, so having this as a quick tool is great!
For desktop recordings, I've only used Quicktime. Loom is overall a nicer looking and functioning tool for recording videos, although there are a couple tools that Quicktime has (like splicing videos and selecting a specific recording size) that I wish Loom had.

Chose Vyond
Vyond is WAY better than VideoScribe (although, to be fair, it's also about six times more expensive)! It's much easier to work with and more versatile in terms of styles and what you can do with it. We used VideoScribe for a few years and then ditched it and went looking for a …

Chose Vyond
Vyond was far better than Animoto for creating animated graphics and characters. Vyond was also far more flexible than "doodle" software such as Doodly, which is very limited to "whiteboard" videos.
When compared to Vidyard and Lumen5, all these tools do a great job of making it easy to create customized sales/marketing videos and demos. That being said, Vidyard and Lumen5 do not have the extensive animation capabilities that Vyond has. Vyond also has many more …
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".
I started using Vyond back when it was Go Animate. It has been so long since I vetted other products, I can't remember who they were. I am so happy with Vyond that I don't bother to look elsewhere.
Vyond is the best tool our company has used for creating animated explainer videos and social content. We have tried many other software solutions but Vyond offers the most options for animating characters, text, and scenes. Despite the lack of options for overall styles, it …
I’ve used software like Powtoon before, and Vyond is so much easier to control. It’s great that you can control the motion paths and the timing of each action, other software doesn’t really have this, but this allows me to really time out the movements in my scenes more …
Before signing up with Go Animate (now Vyond) I also tested Pow Toons and My Simple Slide Show. My Simple Slide Show simply wasn't dynamic enough for my audience and I felt that it didn't provide anything I couldn't achieve through other tools I already possessed such as …
While most of the other platforms are there to help you publish your video, Vyond is more useful in creating the video. In this way, these tools can actually work together and our business uses all of them for different website and email marketing needs. Vyond remains a great …
We looked at a lot of agencies and used agencies for this type of content in the past. The cost to make one video was as much as a yearly subscription to Vyond and sometimes even more. With Vyond, we can create as many videos as we like and all it takes is the time needed to …
I can't say exactly which one I would recommend more, but the pros of BranchTrack are that they offer the ability to upload voicefiles which will automatically attach to each scene, saving A LOT of time. They're program is also very easy to move scenes around in and having the …
Loom is literally the best free (or depending on your team size) tool that I have found in recent years honestly. I have a consulting practice on the side where we work in multiple timezones. Im not the best with words or explaining things over email, and im a much more visual person. being able to show somehow how to do something rather than explain it via email is HUGE. Its literall creating the office culture vibe over video, and its exactly what i need to help scale my consulting while also help provide training at my current job.
Vyond is great for creating professional looking animations even if you have no experience in animation or video. Vyond is user friendly and has a relatively simple learning curve. The templates and graphics provided makes it easy to create custom animations and storytelling.
The video trim feature has improved a lot recently, but it's still not perfect. Sometimes when I trim a video clip, it distorts other parts of the video.
It would be nice if they had a referral/affiliate program. I would get all my friends to sign up!
The fact that it's on a cloud server means that sometimes the software can get clunky/slow.
There may be extra work involved if you have multiple characters talking in one audio file and you want them to sync their mouths with their appropriate lines.
Characters having multiple actions/expressions means multiple scenes, which can be very cumbersome to manage.
I was recently at a conference where I learned that many of my peers also use Vyond, solidifying my opinion that it is the right tool for out needs. Further more, one of our content vendors also uses it, ensuring that I will continue to use it as I believe this will facilitate our collaborations in the future
It's dirt easy for the one thing it does exceptionally well. If you think, "hmmm, I should make a quick screen capture of this thing on screen, you can start recording in seconds with almost no additional effort." Once you're done, the recording is automatically uploaded to your account site, and automatically creates a URL you can copy and share with your target audience. From IDEA to EXECUTION to DISTRIBUTION is literally seconds.
This program is great when you have no video experience! There's only a little of a learning curve to the program. In general, the user interface is great and easier than using a program like Adobe premier. It's a great resource to use as a marketer.
Loom is one of my favorite solutions and I've been a raving fan since they first launched. The value of quickly sharing videos in seconds is amazing. Our customers love it so much that they have even downloaded the Loom Chrome extension for their own use with their clients! It's so simple, and nothing else compares or competes.
Vyond is just an animated video creation tool. You have to use your video content and track its performance through other means. Because it is an online tool it doesn't hog your resources or slow down any other tools that I use. It is a stand-alone product and it doesn't need to integrate with any of our other tools. It does what it does and that is all we need.
I use Loom for simple tasks. Never used customer support really. It's so simple to use. I haven't had any real issue with Loom which would require customer support to help me out. So I just put 5 because I don't know if the customer support is good or bad since I never used, so I'm kind of neutral.
I haven’t had any issues that required me to contact their support team. However, I believe support in any product starts before you have to call for help. Vyond provides an option for priority queue when you have their professional option. This is great for folks who need things done faster, especially when businesses can’t afford any downtime. Their Live chat feature is also reassuring, because I don’t always want to spend time on the phone or on hold if their call volume is high and I need to solve an issue.
We have used zoom, Google Meet or youtube to manage our videos in the past. But both did not seem to be as seamless for everyone to use it. Loom came in to provide an easy way for everyone to use video and share screens or communicate in general. Loom integrates with Slack and that is another cool feature
Vyond is WAY better than VideoScribe (although, to be fair, it's also about six times more expensive)! It's much easier to work with and more versatile in terms of styles and what you can do with it. We used VideoScribe for a few years and then ditched it and went looking for a replacement tool. Another application was being used by another learning developer, but that was nixed by IT as not being secure enough. Vyond has given us both the functionality/assets we need and the security that makes IT happy.
It gives me back 2-3 hours per week in time saved fussing with typing out long emails.
Our team and vendors understand us faster and better when we offer revisions and training using Looms vs. trying to type it out - causing better client satisfaction.
We still have to use Snagit, though, until Loom gives us still screenshot edit/markup abilities!
