Overall Satisfaction with Snagit

It is used across the organization but only by those who specifically ask for it. It is oftentimes used by project managers, or those in Learning and Development to create visuals. The business problem Snagit addresses is that the snipping tool provided by Microsoft is not sufficient to allow for the markups on visuals that lead to better presentations.
  • Capture all or part of a screen or capture a screen recording. I use Snagit to quickly show someone how to do something via screen video capture, or to mark up a screen capture with steps (1, 2, 3)
  • Snagit houses all of your snips without having to save them. You can go back in time and find screen snips you took years ago where as with the snipping tool you need to save your snips.
  • I love the call out feature, the highlighter, and the step features. It makes markup quick and easy.
  • I wish Snagit had a record feature for webcam. I know I can use Camtasia, but I am always in Snagit and it would be helpful to have it there.
  • The stamps are limited and you have to buy more if you want to add additional ones. I feel they should be included in the license cost.
  • I wish there was a tool like photoshop where you can clone part of the picture. If I want to hide something, I have to create a shape the same color and insert it over where I cut it out.
  • Gosh, Snagit saves me so much time. I can capture an image from the source, annotate it to what I need it to be, and embed quickly.
  • I can create step by step instructions that are saved that can be referenced when new people join.
  • I used it even to share with the help desk to show the issue I am facing which prevents me from needing to stop my day and meet with them to show them synchronously the experience.

Do you think Snagit delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Snagit's feature set?

Yes

Did Snagit live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Snagit go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Snagit again?

Yes

I use Snagit on a daily basis at least a number of times per day. I use it to capture screenshots mostly. In a meeting and they did not share the deck? Snagit. Someone shared something important in the chat and you don't want to lose it? Snagit! Want to annotate screenshots? Snagit. Want to create step-by-step instructions? Snagit.

Probably not appropriate if you want to create super custom-looking things as if you want to bring in other stamps etc, you need to purchase them. You could however get creative and save images you find online, and bring them in as part of your snag it, but that is a bunch of extra steps.
