We've been using Loom too in its early days. Loom vs CloudApp really boils down to personal preference. If you're using screen recording more, then Loom, if you take a lot of screenshots and annotate them, then CloudApp. The pricing is very similar, with CloudApp a bit more …
Chose Zight
It's probably easier to do recordings via zoom right now. In my opinion, if CloudApp could get the Video Editor & Trimmer to actually work properly, that would be incredible. I created some videos, spent a ton of time to edit them exactly how I wanted, cutting many segments. …
Chose Zight
The closest product to CloudApp that I've used has been Photoshop. Though, they're both very different. Photoshop has better editing qualities and abilities. Whereas, I appreciate the nimbleness, efficiency and flexibility that CloudApp has to offer. CloudApp also allows …
Chose Zight
I like Loom better personally. It is easier to use in a creative way and made to be fun. CloudApp is more serious and better for professional settings.
Chose Zight
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 …
Chose Zight
I have Snagit, but I find the interface a nuisance and resent the amount of time it takes to do simple annotations. The same can be said for Voila, and a few others I can not longer remember.
Chose Zight
The only other competitor I'm aware of is Droplr. I liked the clean, white interface of CloudApp as well as the rest of their user interface. It's been fairly intuitive to figure out. The one thing Droplr had integrated before CloudApp was "work spaces" where you could easily …
Chose Zight
In the world of screenshot taking and sharing, there isn't much. Jing, AwesomeScreenshot, and others have been used in the past, but CloudApp is the one with the best UX, has the best-integrated capture and sharing features, and the best cross-platform compatibility (desktop …
Chose Zight
Dropbox is nice, but if you try to share to an email address outside of your domain name, there are additional setting you need to do per image. That’s too tedious for quick chatting at work.
Chose Zight
I need to point out that I love Snagit. It's a fantastic product, but there are different use-cases. CloudApp for me is about quick and efficient sharing. Snagit doesn't really allow for that. Yes, they have a cloud sharing option, but for the entirety of me using the program, …
Chose Zight
Irfanview is a personal favorite of mine. It is much more powerful at image manipulation and markup. And, it is free.
Chose Zight
We have used more screen grab/screenshot technologies than I care to remember. Many had one or two things that worked fairly well. the problem was having to annotate, adjust and edit out sensitive information using multiple programs just took too long but I thought I had no …
Chose Zight
It's very fast and allows to share images and gifs (which none of the tools I tried allows). In addition, it allows you to edit screenshots, which is essential to our job.
Chose Zight
I like how in Jing allows you to choose how you want to export the content and it is simple to find everything. However, cloud app helps to do a lot of things that were never a possibility with Jing, such as blurring content, face bubble on videos and it generates links much …
Chose Zight
I migrated over from Evernote.
Chose Zight
Hands down better with other integrations and ease of sharing.
Chose Zight
Droplr worked great for us, until it didn't. After a new OS X version was released the app stopped working. We have not had this problem with Cloud app.

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

Pros
Zight
  • Capturing specific contents in video format instead of getting recorded the whole screen
  • Customizing the contents of any video or screenshots and annoting in terms of user's need
  • Editing the videos and screenshots which is helpful in terms of sharing contents in online presentations or meetings with client
  • Getting more customized settings while uploading or editing screenshots to look the content more readable

Cons
Zight
  • Can get buggy or slow to load when you have a large library of media saved
  • The GIF/video capturing can bug sometimes when you are in full-screen mode, but I have a feeling that's connected with going over the limit of the freemium account 😅

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.

Usability
Zight
I would give cloud app a 10 out of 10 if the video screen capture portion of the tool worked flawlessly and the addition of few suggestions like full-page screen grab and the quicker ability to download screenshots or screen videos to my hard drive. I don't mean to repeat a feature request here being that features would heavily improve usability in my particular usage situation.

Support Rating
Zight
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.

Implementation Rating
Zight
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.

I need to point out that I love Snagit. It's a fantastic product, but there are different use-cases. CloudApp for me is about quick and efficient sharing. Snagit doesn't really allow for that. Yes, they have a cloud sharing option, but for the entirety of me using the program, it hasn't worked right. You'll have to try both to see what I mean.

Return on Investment
Zight
  • Speed. It's incredibly quick and easy to share images, gifs, and videos. That saves us time and makes us more productive.
  • Storage. Everything is kept in one place, so it's easy to go back and reference/keep track of. It keeps us from hunting down previous shares.
  • Annotation. It's very quick to mark things up before sending! Again, the primary benefit here is speed.
  • Cash. We'll occasionally share videos with prospects so they better understand our offerings. Some of those people become customers!
