GoReact vs. Snagit vs. Zight

It is very well-suited for business presentations. The students improve their presentation skills tremendously using GoReact and the feedback from the instructor. It is less suited for very technical areas such as operations research and management science.

Let's say you are on a webinar or online meeting and want to take several screen shots of what is on the screen and save all of them. Rather than opening Windows snipping tool (or other free products) and needing to save each one as fast as you can, SnagIt saves all of them and you can go back and delete the ones you don't want. Capture the entire screen quickly or do a region for only a portion of the screen. Very handy. SnagIt also provides easy ways to add your edits to the screen shot in a professional way. Rather than trying to "hand draw" a circle around the item you want to bring attention to, you can use professional tools for circles and rectangles to highlight a specific area for someone to see right away when looking at this screen shot

I appreciate when I can take screenshots, and send them to coworkers. When I need to illustrate when something is not working properly, I can easily take a screenshot of the error message, and send it off to IT. This way they are able to resolve the issue much sooner. I will receive website leads, take a screenshot of the lead, and forward it on to the sales team

• Records lessons well
• Able to make concrete comments on their performance
• Able to print or save and put on the GF transcript records
• Easy to sue and navigate

• Video capture - the countdown feature is great so you can set the scene. And you can convert to a gif and easily copy and paste to an email or messenger app.
• Markup - easily blur areas, crop, cut out (in the middle of images), add text, add arrows or boxes around areas and much more.
• Scrolling capture - allows me to grab images that span several scrolls to get everything in one image.

Incentivized

• Ability to capture media: screenshots, GIFs and video (including webcam if you'd like)
• Automatically hosting the images, so these can be previewed by others (this saves *so* much space!)
• A generous freemium account which gives you a taste of what's possible
• Cool UI -- CloudApp is really pleasant to use, especially on iOS
• Great marketing!
• Great integrations with tools like Slack which automatically preview the screenshots!

• Bigger screen of an individual signing
• Do not see the closed captions if necessary
• Do not combine gradebook with My Course at RIT and Blackboard at UR

Incentivized

• Sometimes the app won't catch that I'm pressing print screen and it won't register
• Make the editing function a little more user friendly. Some options can be tricky to find.
• Making it so you can automatically drag the image into a drop box without needing to save as PDF

Incentivized

• The one thing I can think of is making it easier to save images, videos, and GIFs to your desktop. This requires a few extra steps and it's typically easiest for me to pull an image directly from my desktop into an email or knowledge base article.

I think that the tool is excellent for what it is being used for. I particuarly like the ability to capture content from the screen whilst using the scroll wheel on my mouse. It is very annoying when your try to capture something with grab and you can't scroll which leads to multiple images

In all honesty I don't even have time to look for an alternative to CloudApp at this point in our business. CloudApp works for what we had planned to use it for and unless a competing service that offers the same quality and ease-of-use along with video screen capture comes out I will renew indefinitely.

As I said earlier, I use it numerous times throughout the day. It's easy to execute and easy to work with. I am continually learning new features and incorporating them into my tasks throughout the day. Before we had Snagit, things we do routinely now were time-consuming and laborious, so often they just weren't done.

If someone is used to using internal screen capture software Zight may have a small learning curve. Luckily, once you get the hang of your new capture method, it is a quick process. Updates can be tedious. Although I am glad the team is working on the application and consistently improving it.

I've actually never had to contact support as the tool is easy to use. One aspect is that they upgrade and send email notifications of the upgrades. They don't charge extra for upgrades and their enhancements fall in line with the way we use the tool. We haven't had to submit any upgrade requests as the tool already does what we need it to do.

I would give cloud app a 9/10 score on overall support mostly because I have had very little need of any support at all being that the tool was designed almost to use itself. In my opinion this level of forethought is equal to customer support. As of yet I've only had one real problem with cloud app which was the loss of a 20 minute video screen capture. Unfortunately I have not had the time to contact support about this loss. The only other minor issues that I confronted was within the initial set up which I was able to resolve via their website's support pages.

It's a simple next next finish install. The SnagIt Library in the user profile should probably be backed up to make sure they have access to their old screen captures. We frequently will go back to previous captures and add context bubbles etc. when software changes to show the "old" vs "new". Also, go to SnagIt's website and download the additional Stamp Sets for the user. These are terrific. I wish there was one download to get them all, but you have to download and install them one set at a time. It's worth it - especially for training how-to's.

I was extremely satisfied with how quick and easy the implementation of Cloudapp was on my MacIntosh using MacOS Sierra was, along with how amazingly fast I was able to be up and going with the tool. most often with sass tools we are lucky if we can use 50% of the features without having to have consultations and a ton of back-and-forth email on how to use other features of the product. Cloud app has made it extremely user-friendly with almost no need for customer support. To My business, that equals time savings which as most business owners know, can be far more valuable than a few dollars saved.

We looked at Voicethread because the university has access to it but it does not even come close to functionality of GoReact.

Snagit takes an entirely different approach to saving, editing, and manipulating screenshots. Adobe is fine for .pdf documents, but it's challenging to use, and if it has the features Snagit has, I can't find them. GIMP is suitable for working with certain images, but it doesn't address all the problems Snagit easily solves.

Zight is more of an all-in-one visual communication tool — it supports screenshots, GIFs, and video recording, whereas Loom is primarily optimized for video messaging. When compared to Loom, Zight offers more robust video editing and lets you annotate while recording. Zight
AI is a major differentiator: Zight uses AI to generate video summaries, chapters, automatic transcriptions, titles, and even translates in 50+ languages. Loom has AI features too (summaries, filler-word removal), but Zight’s feel more powerful for documentation use. Snagit is not cloud native which makes it a bit harder to use. Zight uses links to easily share content with others.

• Reduced my time for providing feedback by at least 30%
• Increased the likelihood students would see and use my feedback
• Increased the likelihood they would watch themselves on video

• There is no doubt that Snagit has saved us a huge amount of time. Our time is valuable so the ROI there is very high.
• I think the most positive impact is with the clients. They love the explainers and the training videos. It makes their life easier as they can watch on their time as opposed to setting up an online meeting and then never really covering what we need to. A very big convenience factor that my clients have thanked me for more than once.
• The only negative is that it's not free! But it's not expensive either, it's a great tool and I can't really say anything bad.

Incentivized

• The cost to buy and use in bit more than the output I got so far
• The features and user friendly UI this app provided is worth using it and getting more contents sharing done in less time
• The business criteria has met with the use of this app well
