Overall Satisfaction with Snagit

Our department is focused on learning and development. We use Snagit to capture screenshots (photo and video) for use in tutorials. Outside of our department, Snagit is used to screen capture issues with systems that I help to manage for troubleshooting. Creatively, Snagit steps in where most use Microsoft's Snipping Tool. Often times for our tutorials, we need to capture a delayed still. Snagit accomplishes this task with ease.

  • Snagit handles delayed screenshots extremely well.
  • Abilities to add frequent functions to your profile for quick access is a great time and effort saver.
  • Seamless connection to video editing resources is a great bonus for increasing workflow efficiency.
  • Snagit doesn't do a good job of remembering your last chosen file type. If I'm capturing and saving my images mostly to PNG, I would expect the application to save primarily to PNG.
  • Likewise, an ability to apply a naming scheme to files would increase efficiency.
  • Snagit isn't a full function image editor, but adding more tools to its belt would improve my likelihood to use this product exclusively.
  • Snagit has proven to a crucial tool in acquiring the images need to carry out our training.
  • Snagit has enable our staff to clearly capture technical issues and for our department to respond efficiently and clearly.
  • We now spend less time tracking down images of software that we might through image searches. For the software that we use, we can now just capture the visuals quickly and efficiently.
Our staff often uses MS Snipping Tool which comes installed on the PC. Extremely limited in its abilities and only capable of capture still images, we rely on Snipping for quick cut and paste captures. The image resolution created by this application doesn't provide sufficient quality for our documents and training.

Snagit is well suited to capture screens for troubleshooting and tutorial purposes. We build documents, sites, and courses with image gathered using Snagit. However, if you're looking for higher features for screen capture such as cursor highlighting, you'll need to look into spending more for Camtasia.

Snagit has limited image editing features, so it less suited for manipulating the images that you capture.
