    I have recommended Snagit several times. Discussion of screenshot programs is not something that often arises often, in my work environment. When such a situation does arise, I make it clear that Snagit is my go-to solution for anything related to screenshot capture. It opens the captured image directly into an editor window for quick and easy manipulation.

    Pros
    Renderforest
    • It's a great place for anyone who wants to improve their business by appearing very professional.
    • Easy to use and to create astonishing vibes with your clients.
    • Communication is very professional and really, really short response period.
    • For those who are more professional but have no time or ideas about what to make for their own business, inspiration is a place called Renderforest

    • Being able to take screen captures quickly and with just a keystroke is a prime feature. I took several screenshots just yesterday to show folks, which saved me from taking the time to meet with [...] everyone.
    • Obviously recording and sharing video is Snagit's strength. It does this as well as any product I have used. It is not an editor but there are a lot of capture features that cover just about any situation.
    • One great feature that Snagit has is the ability to pull text from a capture. We don't use this a lot but when it is needed it is a huge time saver.
    • The settings and tools within Snagit are intuitive and easy to find.

    Cons
    Renderforest
    • Uploading video is slow, processing time and rendering video are often jammed.
    • Some templates have more restrictions, such as the number of words in the title, the number of pictures, the size of pictures and so on.
    • Prices for individual users are not very friendly.

    • Image merge - I wish there was an easier way to merge two images in one.
    • Scrolling capture - even though this is one thing I love, sometimes the text gets wonky when I use this feature.
    • The shortcut - this feature feels super unnecessary. And it can be annoying when every time I move my mouse to the right of the screen it pops up.

    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

    Usability
    Renderforest
    It was very easy. They have a nice help video to guide you along the way that you can turn off if you chose. But It was a quick process and everything tied together very well. I am very pleased with the final product. I will definitely use them again.

    It's button centric for easy access to every feature. Everything allows undo! It works like any other standard Windows application. Everyone can be a professional without having to select every feature yourself by using the built in styles with just one click of a button in most cases. Every button is clearly labeled too.

    Performance
    Renderforest
    Renderforest Video has great performance. In all the time I have used it, I haven't ever really had to wait for anything to be done, except for the rendering time. The reason for not giving the product a full 10 out of 10 is that the page load times in the wizard have left me frustrated at times. This, though, is most likely the result of internet service in a 3rd world country, as opposed to a slow server.

    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.

    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.

    Renderforest is far superior. More intuitive and has a bunch of helpful templates. I've found that iMovie lacked in any direction and though there is a lot of freedom, for people who need to make quick and effective media, Renderforest is the better choice. I have really enjoyed my use of it.

    Windows free snipping tool - Con: had to save each screen shot before I could take another screen shot and couldn't draw nice circles/rectangles around the area of the screen shot to bring attention. Chrome plugin options - Con: editing tools were lacking.

    Return on Investment
    Renderforest
    • More time can be spent on interviewing clients and researching and development instead of creating quality graphics.
    • The subscription payment option saves money since we know we need them constantly in the future.
    • The quality of the content is superior to the ability of our on-site graphic design team at less than half the cost.
