“Complete creative animation tool”
Pros
Working in Harmony gives me a really complete way to bring my creative ideas to life and it makes my 2D animation much more enjoyable overall. The software comes with color controls, 4K camera resolution, advanced tools and several other features that are genuinely useful when I need to be creative and get my work done. I also appreciate that it comes in three different packages to choose from and the pricing is very affordable.
Cons
Getting started with�the software�was quite challenging at first. The learning curve felt steep and having more documentation would be very helpful for new users who are trying to learn how to use�the software.

“offer unlimited animation freedom”
Pros
Right from the start, Harmony has felt like a tool that gives me almost unlimited creative freedom for building beautiful animations. It's packed with flexibility, functionality and plenty of advanced tools that help me produce the highest-quality results. I can create and design at a very professional level with high-grade graphics and working on 2D animation is much more flexible in Harmony. It also says a lot that many major production companies rely on it.
Cons
Because�this platform�includes so many features, getting comfortable with everything can take time and the learning curve is definitely challenging. It also glitches once in a while which seems to happen because�the software�is handling such heavy features.

Cons
The learning curve can be a little tough at first. When I was just starting out, I didn't know much about animation but�the software�helped me build those skills over time.

“perfect for serious animator”
Pros
The reason I recommend Harmony to serious animators is that creating animation and storyboards with it is much more engaging. Also it is incredibly flexible which saves me a lot of time while still letting me produce beautiful animation. The interface is simple to work with and it supports all kinds of animation styles for my projects. It's a really powerful tool for artists like me who are serious about their work.
Cons
Getting started can be a little challenging because the learning curve is noticeable at first. Some of the more advanced features can also feel complicated but once you get past that initial stage, it becomes much smoother to use.

“Simple and dependable records”
Pros
Having practical access to customer details like contract numbers, names, surnames, payment history and maturity information makes this a great option to keep subscriber records secure in a digital environment. It's simple, fast and dependable, while still offering plenty of useful features as an analyst and developer.
Cons
Their approach to financing feels a little too aggressive and�the software�gets more expensive every year. On top of that, they seem to be falling behind when it comes to innovation.

“Brush tools are quite good”
Pros
The brush tools and the ink-and-paint workflow are the parts I value most in Harmony. They consistently help me finish my work efficiently and the layer hierarchy makes my whole process much more manageable. Harmony really takes my 2D animation to another level.
Cons
At times�the tool�feels a bit complex simply because it includes so many features that I still need to learn. Aside from that, it fits my needs perfectly.

“Full featured professional tool”
Pros
Harmony is a full-featured animation program that lets me handle multiple areas of animation, including paperless, cut-out and 3D CG. Compared with Adobe Animate, it is much better suited as someone who works in animation professionally. The interface is user friendly, it's approachable to use and the wide range of tools makes Harmony a go-to option for my animation work. The built-in compositing is another big advantage. Overall Harmony is like a carefully designed and well-developed program. I began learning digital animation with it and I am really happy I did. It took me about two weeks to understand the basics and within a couple of months I felt confident in what I was doing and could troubleshoot plenty of issues and obstacles that came up and my friends. The community is helpful, welcoming and full of professionals. Their website is also an excellent learning resource, both for when I was starting from zero and for when I was still deciding whether the program was right. On top of that, their tech support is amazingas fast, knowledgeable and very reliable.
Cons
That said, like most high-end animation software,�this platform�can feel a bit complex for beginners and trying to teach yourself during the first few weeks may be discouraging. The monthly subscription is also expensive and purchasing a full license is far beyond what an average person could realistically afford for home use.

“offer a wide feature range”
Pros
Getting started with Toon Boom Harmony is very approachable. It offers me a wide range of features that really help me improve and refine my animations. The onion skin works wonderfully and the layer organization is arranged in a way that makes sense.
Cons
The node view can become pretty confusing especially when working on puppet animation. It's also difficult to keep track of which nodes are supposed to connect properly.

“Scalable vector brush quality”
Pros
Toon Boom Harmony lets me create a huge range of things and the scalable vector brush lines are one of my favorite parts. When I scale my characters up, the quality stays intact which is a big plus.
Cons
Its interface doesn't feel as polished as Adobe's. The tools seem scattered all over the place and the UI can feel a little cramped and claustrophobic.
