--explanation--

To seem is used when something appears to be true based on what we know, but we're not completely certain. For example:

It seems the users liked the new menu. – This means you think the users liked it, based on the feedback or behavior, but you are not sure of it.

To be found to be is a passive voice structure used when someone finds, discovers or concludes something, but the focus is on the result, not who made the judgment. For example:

The layout was found to be confusing by some testers. – This means testers thought it was confusing, but the sentence emphasizes the finding, not the people (in this case, the testers).
