Overall Satisfaction with Snagit

Snagit is a great photo capture tool. It allows users to quickly grab clips during presentations, videos, documents, and other resources to quickly modify into supporting clip art for documentation. This is my default snipping tool/screen capture utility for its quick capabilities for screen capturing full screen, scrolling areas, or click n drag images. I highly recommend this utility for support staff and business analysts that are writing business requirements.
  • Quick Photo Editing including cropping, resizing, snipping, framing, & commenting.
  • Quick Screen Captures by Key or Quick Menu on the screen edge. Whether you need a full screen, a selection, or a scrolling window capture, SnagIt covers it.
  • Very helpful for prototyping new app designs with its editing tools & transparency features.
  • Helps me capture screen shots and comment on changes for design team.
  • No side list view of all layers you paste into an image.
  • Text alignment is sometimes quirky with 4k displays. I have not run into this issue on other screens.
  • Standard highlighting colors work great. Custom colors many times distort the text you're trying to read.
  • No major enhancements year over year, more making sure the application continues to work 100% with its current capabilities for each new OS.
  • Capturing Screen Shots
  • Quick Editing Capabilities including adding text, arrows, and general color adjustments
  • Image Layering capabilities
  • Fast utility to snip and edit content to build documentation faster
  • Eliminates needs for tools like Visio for quick diagraming
  • Superior to tools like Windows snipping tool and paint
It's a great utility and cost-effective for the needs of business analysts to quickly crop, edit, and design images for documentation. It has areas to grow for process diagrams, in my opinion, but as a quick image editor, it has plenty of capabilities to get you by with building images, layering, color fill, and transparency features.

Snagit is a great cost-effective tool for image capture and editing. It is surprisingly effective for image development, building graphics and icons for apps, and graphic documentation support examples. This is not as robust as a Photoshop package, but for most beginner and novice graphic editors, this product is a must.

I wouldn't. This is a great product for little money.
