Overall Satisfaction with Snagit
Snagit is being used by myself and the team I work with to help us take screenshots for courses, lab guides, student guides, instructor guides and to create how-to documentation. It is what we exclusively use when needing to take any screenshot. Using snagit has allowed us to capture screenshots that are of a higher quality than we have experienced in the past with other software.
- I find that snagit allows more flexibility when I take screen shots, allowing me to choose what area of my screen I want to take a snap of rather than having to crop it in the editing phase.
- Snagit keeps a library of my screenshots. This is a feature I thought I would not need at first but have grown accustomed to using and depending on this feature.
- The editing capabilities have been one of the most amazing features. Working with the snagit software I am able to edit the screenshots adding text, pointers, highlights, steps, etc with ease. It is just a one stop tool. I do not need to copy and paste my image in another tool to edit.
- I have found in the version of Snagit I have that I could use more details on setup or easier setup. I like to have a hotkey for the screen shots and found that with Windows 10 it was more difficult to set up. I am sure this might be a Windows 10 issue but Snagit could offer some tips on how to set it up correctly without my having to go digging for the information.
- I would like more editing features, it serves its purpose now but if there was room for improvement more editing would be nice.
- I do not care for the tab that is always open on my screen, I find that I am always accidentally sliding past it and then the drop down appears. I have tried to have it in different positions on my screen but nothing seems to really work for me. There may be a step I can take to make this go away and pop up with a hotkey but I do not feel snagit has educated me enough to know how to do that.
- Because my team uses snagit and we have a standard for what edits we use to create specific documentation it has added a great deal of uniformity to our screenshots that we use. This has been a huge plus for us and allows our documentation to be of a higher quality.
- Snagit has given me the chance to make my documentation more thorough. The editing features allow me to point out and show a person what I need them to see by means of my choosing. This overall provides greater detail.
- Editing is faster and easier. I no longer need to have 2 programs in order to take a screenshot and edit. I simply click my hotkeys, it opens the editing program when done, then stores it in the library for later use. It greatly reduces the time it normally took.
- Snipping Tool and PrintScreen
Snagit has done more than any other tool we have used. As a team, we would use Snipping Tool or take a PrintScreen then edit it in various photo editing software. By using the built-in editing tool we maintain a uniform look from one screenshot to another. This has never been accomplished before by the archaic means we were using prior to Snagit.
