Overall Satisfaction with Snagit

As a leader in an organization powered by volunteers working on a fixed schedule, Snagit is an essential training tool for those required to provide project-level guidance. The ability to take and annotate screenshots that we can use to provide at-a-glance best practices for our volunteer workers is a hugely impactful tool and a great way to maximize training opportunities. Additionally, it allows us to be economical in our words and provide visual learnings in real-time.
  • Easy to use – no training is required, the tools provided are beyond intuitive.
  • Fast – with integration into your toolbar, you're never more than a click away from what you need.
  • Sharable – literally (well not really, but you know what I mean) a million ways to share your output with co-workers or save for future use.
  • Asset library – at times you might assume you can use Snagit as a low-budget wireframing tool, but the limited selection of available assets makes for rudimentary wireframes.
  • Version history – an easier way to save versions would provide some next level capabilities to the suite of tools.
  • Notes – would love to see a notes feature that lives outside of your actual screenshot.
  • Annotations.
  • Video recordings.
  • Screen captures.
  • Hugely effective time saver for the cost.
  • Sharing features makes everyone more productive and increases learnings across thee organization.
  • Cost of training users is absolutely minimal because ease of use.
Snagit can be a bit more expensive than some of the opensource options (some of which are free and effective), but I think its value comes from the fact that no matter your level of tech-savviness, Snagit remains an out of the box solution that is ready to go on Day 1. That, coupled with the familiarity of the product (it's been around forever and has a real fan base), always seems to make it one of those tools you can't live without.

Yes

Yes

Would you buy Snagit again?

Yes

Well suited for:
  • Online training and education -- tools are well suited for quick, in-the-moment lessons in sharing best practices.
  • Video recording features seemingly improve with every new product release. This feature was once an afterthought for me but is now essential.
  • Quick annotations are a breeze with Snagit, and they are super easy to share on the fly.
Don't buy if:
  • You think this will be a design or wireframing tool. It is not made for that level of detail or professionalism. Screen captures are its calling card.
