Overall Satisfaction with Snagit

Snagit is being used by individual contributors at our organization. Clearly, the primary function is for screenshots, but it also works well for basic video editing, gif creation, and training step layouts. Techsmith continues to add useful functionality to Snagit, which makes the nominal upgrade fee acceptable. The gif creation tool has allowed us to create basic training steps by screen-recording the process and publishing to a gif. This made the roll-out of our new eCommerce solution easier with basic training on each screen.
  • Screenshot markup is fantastic and has become the standard for a simple workflow.
  • Gif creation from videos/screen-recordings is a great feature.
  • Training step layout is a promising new feature that can replace MS Word for basic process instruction.
  • Combine the capture and editor tool into one. They have always been separate, but it would be less confusing for new users if they were just one program.
  • Computer resource management. The program will take away some of your CPU and memory even when idle. I understand this for the video functionality, but I feel this is one area that could be optimized.
  • Better editor toolbar. As Techsmith adds new features to the editor, they are hidden under a sub-menu of the main toolbar. This causes me to forget about some functionality because it is not front and center.
  • With the program being so inexpensive, the ROI is guaranteed. A few uses and it is paid for.
  • The learning curve is very simple, so there isn't much time tied up in training.
Anyone that has to create content from screenshots and/or basic screen-recordings will find Snagit to be a valuable tool. It allows you to be more creative with your images and videos than standard Windows programs.
