What do you like best about Zight?

CloudApp is really simple yet powerful. To be able to take screenshots, videos, annotate and more directly and readily with a shareable url at the ready, is extremely powerful. This helps to quickly convey ideas and thoughts - as well as build relationships and bonds with teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

No huge downsides but sometimes there are issues with getting screenshots with interactions - with other tools I can delay the shot then do the action and while that does work here, it doesn't work for all applications. I can easily get around it with doing a quick gif so it's not a blocker but I do prefer to save videos for when truly warranted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zight solving and how is that benefiting you?

The need to share feedback, convey ideas, communicate concepts quickly and readily with a distributed team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

I love the seamless integration with MacOS and the ability to record the full screen or portions of the screen(as well as the option to have the camera recording as well). Looking forward to checking out the pro options if I upgrade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

I don't like the 90-second free limit, but I understand they need to prevent abuse of the service by free customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zight solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problems I'm solving are related to show others how to do things on my computer. I've tried a few other similar services but CloudApp seems to have the best features. They are all a bit more money than I would like to pay. (I'd like to pay maybe $5/mont instead of $10. TImes are tuff so I wish they had more price tiers. ( Even a pay-as-you-go option where you could buy $X amount of credit and be charged X every time you created a video and shared it.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

Ease of use. Support and development use it and love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

When opening links in the browser, there's too much extra space on either side of the actual image. Edit and annotation tools should appear as a toolbar and the image should span the width of the window. https://share.getcloudapp.com/Jrunjxyd Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

It takes decent screenshots or video captures Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

Live me alone with your guided tour of the product. It feels super noisy when I just want to take screenshots. It's not like I don't know how to annotate a picture... Also, having the screenshot systematically openned in the browser annoys me, I just want that to be efficient and it is not. Having to use 2 different UI for each and every screenshot is a lack of my time. You're creating more problems than you solve here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zight solving and how is that benefiting you?

Taking screenshots or clip demos. Like it's not really more beneficial than other software I've been using for the same purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

I'm particularly fond of the screen recording feature. Since I'm a sluggish person, it's difficult for me to get anything out as I just get a working procedure, but I reached a point where I needed to successfully to capture my words on the computer, and so I tried this. It turns out that it has the same features as record.it, but with a much more attractive and user-friendly gui. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

There does not seem to be a way to store all snapshots locally (like automatically saving a local copy to an hard drive for backup purposes). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

Each day, upload and post screenshots. Editing is easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zight solving and how is that benefiting you?

Thanks to CloudApp I can easily share snapshots with my team members and clients via email Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

I love that I can share an image with my teammates with a couple of clicks, in the past I had to use one tool to take the screenshoot, another tool to upload to the cloud and then make the necessary adjustments to share it with my team. I love the recording feature. It saves me a lot of work so I feel I can be more efficient using this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

Nothing. so far I am very happy using this app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

when video recording make sure your mic is unmuted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zight solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sharing screenshots and videos with my team, as a Software tester I need to explain my findings to multiple teams and using cloud app reduce the time i spent using others applications to record videos or taking screenshots with annotations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

As much as I try to keep my calendar as clear as possible, it seems like these days I am having tons of Zoom meetings. I like to use CloudApp video/giphy to communicate more effectively so that I don't need to have as many Zoom meetings and still have some verbal communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

Not many downsides, that I can see. Took me a while to get around to using Cloudapp, but once I got the hang of it, it was very useful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

I'd recommend checking out all the tools out there Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zight solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem I am trying to solve is "how do I communicate effectively while being remote?" The benefit that I realized is that if I want to communicate something and leave less room for interpretation(as written words usually is), I can just make a quick 1-2 minute video. I can also do a screenshare and make annotations, which is useful when I am trying to get a point across. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Zight?

The app nestled in at the top of my Apple bar, where I can easily access it. It also stores all of my past records, making it easy to organize and find screen recordings or images easier. When I record videos and take screenshots, I like to use the annotation ability to make it very clear what I am asking the person to notice or take action on. This becomes very helpful when sending bugs or fixes to our development department. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

Not much, if anything, would be nice to set the compression on the file so it will download quicker, this may be able to be done though, not sure. I also find it difficult creating a team within CloudApp and sharing it with others. Not sure if I am not understanding something specific about the plan I am on or what. It would be cool to know how long someone spends time looking at a video or screenshot I share to advance the tracking a bit more. But overall not much to complain about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

Great for support and customer success efficiency! Makes it very easy to share in-app features. I also like the notifications you get when someone opens a share or someone new views it for the first time. The new annotation ability it quite nice as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zight solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it in our help articles to show users how to navigate, send quick fixes to our dev team in slack, and our support sends gifs to explain user errors in our chat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
