    If you need to make any kind of instruction and your programmes are on Chrome you can document any procedure in a matter of minutes, you can then edit it and make extra notes and explain things in more detail. I can't think of any business that could not use this, unless IT block it

    When it comes to client-facing roles, this functionality is key. Before, I had to use an internal clipping or snipping tool and then download the content then share it as an attachment. With Zight, I simply capture what I want, then easily share a link that can be accessed within minutes by the ones I am engaging with. It is very easy to collaborate and clearly communicate. I would not recommend using it for internal documentation. Having too many screenshots might be hard to manage.

    Zight
    • Cropping the images: allows what I need people to focus on be front and center
    • Arrows: I almost always point to something important that needs to be highlighted
    • The Chrome extension makes CloudApp easily accessible. All I have to do is just click on the extension, and I'm there.

    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.

    The layout is easy to follow, when you are looking at their instructions they are very clear and easy to follow, the help section is easy. Once you have learned the control buttons it's very simple. Editing is very easy as you just click on the section, edit what you want. You can delete and copy easily

    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 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.

    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.

    The tools I have used in the past weren't available in the tool selector! Basically, I've mostly used Jing which I found to be quite clunky. The user interface is unnecessarily complicated and sharing files is more difficult. Trying CloudApp once was enough to see how much more superior it was to Jing! Honestly, if you need a tool that will help you take screenshots to help you communicate better with your team, give it a try!

    • The amount that I paid for it, I feel that it's paid for itself over and over and over multiple times, if for one reason, and that's time saved. If I have one app that does it all, quickly, and efficiently, that's my positive ROI.
