"Right amount of POWERFUL software that is easy to use and always meets our needs!"
What do you like best about Snagit?

It has all the typical tools, and has some that are not typical. For instance the cut out tool allows you to make very fast adjustments that fit most use case requirements. Everything is simple and easy to follow while providing high quality output in all formats you will require. For me and our team, the ROI is excellent and the performance of the software always excels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snagit?

For my work and our team's requirements, there is nothing that we dislike. We would appreciate seeing some more templates and "Stamps" added throughout the year after a new software release - not because we NEED them but because we like the offerings! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple, Reliable Annotation and Screen Recording Tool for Life"
What do you like best about Snagit?

Simple to use and comes with all the necessary tools for annotation. I bought it once and using it for my lifetime. Recording my screen and taking screenshots are both very easy, and they’ve always been reliable for me. It’s also very good at identifying apps like my browser or any other window, and it automatically selects the right area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snagit?

Honestly, there isn’t much else to add. One thing I do want to point out is that if you buy a license, it applies only to that specific version. You can’t update to the latest version without purchasing a new license. That said, I’m perfectly fine with the version I bought, so I’ve never felt the need to upgrade.

"Simple One-Click Snips and Video Recording with Easy Notes and Editing"
What do you like best about Snagit?

It’s simple to use—I love the ability to take a snippet of something or record a video. Both are as simple as pushing a button. It’s also very easy to add notes and point out certain things, and the editing is super easy. The drag and drop programming is super easy to work with Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snagit?

It’s not that I dislike this feature, but I think it could be improved by making it easier to delete old snippets. For example, having a quicker way to remove them by date or month would help, instead of only being able to delete everything at once or one by one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My Go-To Tool for Screenshots, Annotations, and Quick Recordings"
What do you like best about Snagit?

What I like best about Snagit is how quickly I can capture, edit, and share visual information without breaking my workflow. I use it daily in my consulting work for screenshots, annotated images, documentation, training materials, client communication, and quick screen recordings. The biggest value for me is that it lets me go from idea or issue to a polished visual explanation in just a few minutes.

The UI is one of its strongest points. It’s intuitive enough that I rarely have to think about where tools are or how to accomplish something, which matters a lot when I’m moving quickly between client work and internal deliverables. At the same time, the editing tools are much more capable than what you get with built-in screenshot utilities. I can add callouts, annotations, highlights, and other visual cues fast, without needing a more complex design tool.

I also like that it supports screen recording in addition to static screenshots, which makes it more versatile for walkthroughs and training content. The integration with Camtasia is another plus, since it makes it easier to move from quick captures into more polished video content when needed.

One of the biggest workflow improvements for me is simply speed and clarity. Compared with using basic screenshot tools or something limited like Paint, Snagit helps me create clearer explanations faster, which reduces back-and-forth and makes it easier to communicate issues, instructions, or ideas to clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snagit?

What I dislike most about Snagit is the pricing, especially now that it is subscription-based. As a solo consultant, I pay close attention to software costs, and while I use Snagit enough to justify it, the price feels a little high compared with how focused the product is. For someone who only needs occasional screenshots or very basic annotation, it may be harder to justify versus built-in tools or lower-cost alternatives.

I have also run into performance issues from time to time. Most of the time, it works well, but there are moments when it feels slower than it should, which can be frustrating when I am using it frequently throughout the day. Because one of Snagit’s biggest strengths is speed, any slowdown stands out more.

That said, these drawbacks have not outweighed the value for me. I continue to use it daily because the workflow is strong and the editing tools are much better than simpler screenshot utilities, but pricing and occasional performance hiccups are the main tradeoffs in my experience.

"Snagit Makes Process Documentation and Screenshots Effortless!!"
What do you like best about Snagit?

Snagit is a WONDERFUL product. It's easy to use and has a great variety of tools and options. I spend a good amount of time documenting process and taking screenshots in my role. Snagit makes this super easy.

The system respond quickly. I've never had issues with lag or response time. It's easy to find help and tips when I want to learn something new, and tips for easier usage are available all the time! The pricing is great and absolutely worth the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snagit?

Sometimes I have trouble finding the options I'm looking to toggle on or off without using the Help feature. But the Help feature is detailed and thorough. So my complaint is not that I can't find something or make changes to my preferences, but more that it can take some digging to find what I'm looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Snagit Makes Capturing, Annotating, and Sharing Visual Guides Fast and Easy"
What do you like best about Snagit?

What I like best about Snagit is how quickly it lets me capture, edit, and share information without breaking my workflow. I use it to take screenshots, annotate key details, and create quick visual guides, which is especially helpful when communicating processes or troubleshooting issues. The editing tools are intuitive, and I like being able to add arrows, text, and highlights to make things clear for others. It saves me time compared to typing out long explanations and helps keep communication more efficient and organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snagit?

One downside is that Snagit can feel a bit heavy when running alongside multiple applications, and there are moments where it takes a second to respond, which can interrupt workflow. The interface is generally user-friendly, but some tools require a few extra clicks to access, so streamlining navigation would improve efficiency. While it integrates well with other tools and is easy to get started with, enhancing performance and simplifying certain features would make the overall experience smoother. From a value standpoint, it’s useful for saving time, but improving speed and responsiveness would make it even more worthwhile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Game Changer for SOPs and Construction Communication"
What do you like best about Snagit?

Snagit has been a game changer for how I document and communicate, especially in the construction industry. It’s made creating SOPs incredibly efficient. Being able to quickly capture screenshots, mark them up, and clearly show each step has taken a lot of the guesswork out of training and documentation. Instead of long written explanations, I can provide visuals that actually make sense in the field.

It’s also been really helpful for emails. I can quickly grab a screenshot, highlight exactly what I’m referring to, and send clear, direct communication to team members, subcontractors, or clients. It cuts down on back-and-forth and helps avoid misunderstandings.

Overall, Snagit has improved both the clarity and speed of communication across projects, and it’s become a tool I rely on daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snagit?

Honestly, I haven’t found anything I don’t like about Snagit so far. It’s been incredibly helpful for creating SOPs and improving communication, and everything I’ve needed it for has worked smoothly. At this point, I don’t have any complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Snagit Makes Screen Recording and Screenshot Editing Fast and Effortless"
What do you like best about Snagit?

Snagit is one of the best tools for screen recording. I can record meetings and important work, capture screenshots quickly, and then edit those screenshots right away. It’s also easy to share recordings with anyone via email or save them as files. I like that I can preview what I recorded, and everything I create in Snagit stays visible in the Library section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snagit?

There’s nothing I would say I dislike, but one area for improvement is when I’m using two screens and recording on one of them. If the screen being recorded is switched off or gets disconnected for some reason, then all the recordings get cancelled. Instead, whatever has already been recorded up to that point should still be saved, so the work done isn’t lost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy-to-Use Screenshot Tool with Smooth Scrolling Capture and Great Support"
What do you like best about Snagit?

It is easy to use, has many tools to create and edit screenshots and integrates with the other Camtasia tools. I like how you can start a capture and then scroll on the screen and it captures everything that was scrolled. It is updated regularly to add new features. It performs well. I've never had any slowness or pauses. The pricing is good. I haven't needed support often but when I did, they were quick to respond and very helpful. The tutorials and training are very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snagit?

There isn't anything I don't like about SnagIt. I use it multiple times almost everyday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Indispensable for Documentation with Minor Timing improvements"
What do you like best about Snagit?

I rely on tools that are both powerful and dependable, and Snagit consistently exceeds expectations. I use Snagit daily for screen and video captures, data extractions, and creating clear, professional illustrations for documentation. It plays an essential role in my work on operations manuals, standards operating procedures, and technical guides, allowing me to communicate complex information with precision and clarity. Its ease of use, consistent and well-organized user interface, combined with robust functionality, make it an indispensable part of my toolkit. The initial setup was easy and straightforward, and I installed it everywhere I work. I also appreciate how it integrates with other tools like Camtasia. The fact that it's a standard tool for my contracts within and outside the Canadian Government speaks to its reliability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snagit?

I wish that Snagit would allow me to time my recording independently. In other words, I can set when to start and when to stop. I have been asking this for many years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
