Considered Both Products	Snagit Verified User Anonymous Chose Snagit Skitch, compared to Snagit, is a basic screen capture image editing tool.

User Testimonials
	Snagit	UiPath Task Capture
Likelihood to Recommend	As mentioned the ability to take screen captures with just a keystroke is great. Snagit has a nice suite of markup and manipulation tools that are great. Video recording is good and stable, with many options for sound, etc. What Snagit is not is a video editor. If that is what you are looking for this is not it. However, if you need one good tool that will have you covered for grabbing and sharing captures and video Snagit is perfect. Incentivized Jeff Smith Owner Principal Read full review	StepShot is excellent for organizations of any size. Whether you're a solo-entrepreneur who has contractors occasionally help out or a Fortune 500 company, StepShot can help. It offers options to export to Word, PDF, PowerPoint, HTML, WordPress, and even Confluence. With so many output options available, StepShot is excellent for any organization, no matter how simple or complex their document structure is.

Pros	Video capture - the countdown feature is great so you can set the scene. And you can convert to a gif and easily copy and paste to an email or messenger app. Markup - easily blur areas, crop, cut out (in the middle of images), add text, add arrows or boxes around areas and much more. Scrolling capture - allows me to grab images that span several scrolls to get everything in one image. Incentivized Kathleen Murray Application Analyst Read full review	The annotations options are fantastic. You can adjust exactly where you want your mouse cursor to show up (if at all) and can create all images for step-by-step It has a really nice interface, simple to use. It's customizable - you can choose full screen, active area, etc. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	I'd love to see more video editing abilities. For example, adding a highlight box inside of a movie before saving it to a GIF. Snagit has limited font options when adding and editing text. Integrating with Google fonts or even adding support/making it clear how to add custom fonts would improve usability. Adding the ability to fill while erasing. For example, if erasing an element from a white background, auto-fill in the erased patch with white, or some other custom color. Instead, I have to rely on copy/pasting from other areas in the picture. Rosalie Byrnes Technical Writer Read full review	It will be good if it is available in web instead of installing on the local device Some little changes can be done in the interface to be updated as per trend in market Can make the login procedure simple so that it will be good for the new users Incentivized Santosh Yalamanchili Senior RPA Consultant Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	I think that the tool is excellent for what it is being used for. I particuarly like the ability to capture content from the screen whilst using the scroll wheel on my mouse. It is very annoying when your try to capture something with grab and you can't scroll which leads to multiple images Incentivized Stephen Fuery MSc M.M.I.I Marketing Executive Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	It's button centric for easy access to every feature. Everything allows undo! It works like any other standard Windows application. Everyone can be a professional without having to select every feature yourself by using the built in styles with just one click of a button in most cases. Every button is clearly labeled too. Incentivized Debbie Johnson Systems Administrator Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	I've actually never had to contact support as the tool is easy to use. One aspect is that they upgrade and send email notifications of the upgrades. They don't charge extra for upgrades and their enhancements fall in line with the way we use the tool. We haven't had to submit any upgrade requests as the tool already does what we need it to do. Incentivized Cindy Lalowski PLM Manager Read full review	I have only run into an issue once, which I believe was due to a newly released feature (cloud storage). I was running into issues with the functionality on my Mac. The team was incredibly helpful in both troubleshooting the issue by jumping on screen sharing sessions, as well as providing multiple releases for me to test to fix the problem! Incentivized Christopher Page, MBA Owner Read full review
Implementation Rating	It's a simple next next finish install. The SnagIt Library in the user profile should probably be backed up to make sure they have access to their old screen captures. We frequently will go back to previous captures and add context bubbles etc. when software changes to show the "old" vs "new". Also, go to SnagIt's website and download the additional Stamp Sets for the user. These are terrific. I wish there was one download to get them all, but you have to download and install them one set at a time. It's worth it - especially for training how-to's.

Alternatives Considered	Windows free snipping tool - Con: had to save each screen shot before I could take another screen shot and couldn't draw nice circles/rectangles around the area of the screen shot to bring attention. Chrome plugin options - Con: editing tools were lacking. Incentivized Quentin Goin Integration Engineer Read full review	While StepShot provides us with more options for modifying our screen recording and adding helper information for our audience, iSpring is a little more accessible since you can connect directly to YouTube for videos. Since most of our work doesn't require a video tutorial, we are happy with StepShot, but iSpring, like many other screen recorders, is a little more "well rounded" when it comes being able to connect our guides with our intended audience.

Return on Investment	Snagit isn't a very expensive product in general so it has been a huge ROI for us It saves me countless amounts of time each day I'm able to share instructions much easier and allows for more time spent on other tasks Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	This has saved us MANY HOURS in either walking clients through processes in person or having to create a one-off guide through taking screenshots and creating our own documents with the screenshots hand placed. Client satisfaction is high when they receive these guides. It is documentation that they can refer to at anytime that is personalized to their use or individual needs.
