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

Zight is more integrated and easier to use in most cases. Zight has many functions that overlap with its competitors; however, in many cases, the quick and lightweight functionality allows Zight to outshine or incorporate with the competitors' workflow. Zight can be helpful as …

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 …

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. …

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 …

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.

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 …

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.

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, …

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
