Recommendations for Vyond?

Hi all, 

My team and I are looking into the Vyond platform for creating animated videos. We currently have a Powtoon account, but the platform is not very accessible and I've seen a lot of great examples and conversations about Vyond on here. 

Additionally, we have a Canva Pro account and have begun to make professional videos on there. Without starting a free trial (something we need permission to do and might be a long process), I'm interested in what the E-Learning Heroes community thinks. 

What are some of the benefits that Vyond offers that are different or better than other platforms (Canva, Powtoon, etc.)?

How user friendly is Vyond/how steep is the learning curve for new users?

I've seen a lot about how "friendly" it is with Articulate software - is that your experience? Can you give me examples?

If anyone has had any experience with accessibility as a video-builder (specifically needing screen reader accessible materials), can you give me some insight into what that experience is like?

Thanks for any insight you can provide!

    I was in a similar boat in my previous role. We were testing Vyond and Powtoon, and Vyond felt a bit superior in terms of functionality and user experience. One major advantage I found then was that Vyond lets you customize almost everything on the canvas.

    I think the use case for Canva Pro would be mostly for creating motion graphics and intros.
