What do you like best about Zight?

I love that I can use an easy keyboard shortcut to quickly share screenshots with clients or with support teams. After a screenshot is captured, I can preview it, annotate and much more. But the best feature is being able to drag and drop that screenshot in various places. It's a huge part of my daily productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

Sometimes a cloudapp windows appears over my start menu and it doesn't go away unless I shut the app down. But this is a recent problem so I'm sure it will be updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I can share screenshots with clients and others using a branded link with my domain so it looks very professional. I can show support teams to other products I use my issue very quickly with a link or drag and drop if it's allowed by the chat bubble. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

I like how I can quickly put together a brief instruction video for my clients. I use the Mac-based app for most of my recording. And I also appreciate the ability to download the video file for editing with other tools and inclusion into other videos, such as YouTube. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

I really have not run into any downsides with using CloudApp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

I highly recommend the use of CloudApp. It is well worth the time saved when trying to teach or provide instruction to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This saves me a lot of time when trying to explain the functionality and features of software or websites to others. Usually my clients. However, I also use it for giving a remote friend a quick explanation of how to do something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

Cloud app is super easy to use with just a few clicks and will save to your dashboard very quickly. I enjoy the options it gives you to organize your clips, because finding them can be a pain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

I don't have anything I dislike. Everyone needs to download this. Seriously everyone needs this if you use your laptop to communicate with people. it does gifs, video captures, and my most used screenshots. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Being able to annotate a screenshot is needed for remote work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

Sharing screenshots across our globally distributed team is a snap with CloudApp. Images are created, hosted, and I love how the link to the file is auto-copied to my clipboard, so I can just paste and immediately share with my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

Good security can sometimes feel inconvenient. My one pet peeve about CloudApp is when I get logged out every 7 days or so, but it's easy to log in, and I feel good knowing my cloud hosted files have this level of security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

CloudApp speeds up and improves communication within our team - sometimes the best visual aid for a creative project is what's on your screen.

I personally work with dynamically changing data and I find CloudApp to be a lightweight and intuitive solution for documenting my test sets over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I've used CloudApp for a couple of years now and highly recommend it!

I can create a video quicker than I can type an email and my customers love them. They can see and hear me as I show them on screen the updates and ask questions.

It's much more efficient than person-to-person meetings as you can stay on one point and finish your conversation without questions slowing the process and going off track! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

There was a time when we couldn't edit or search videos but that's been solved now! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

A great tool to increase your level of communication via video, screenshot and branded with your company logo! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use CloudApp to introduce myself to new clients. I then record a video to deliver the proposal and my closing rate has doubled! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

All day every day my colleagues and I have to swap screencaps of our work and I can't imagine doing it without this app. I am not even aware of any other comparable services. It may be a small thing, but it maes every day easier and really adds up. Those occasions when we need a screen recording, saving it as a gif is so easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

Screencaps can be slow to upload sometimes. Failed uploads have become less frequent in newer versions but used to be pretty regular. The frequent updates also required restarting and, in some cases, reinstalling cloudapp to ensure the screencaps continue uploading. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

Maybe do some research on other products that provide the service you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Manually uploading and attaching files is a slower process rather than just sending people an easy link. The benefit is being able to work more quickly on a day to day basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

Very easy to use and manage. I use this app on a daily basis. I love that I get notifications when my links are accessed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

The reporting seems unnecessary. I’m not sure if anyone would have a quota for screen captures so a weekly report doesn’t seem very valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I typically use it to record short “how-to” videos showing my customers how to complete tasks that might not be relevant to everyone. We have tutorials and articles for those. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

CloudApp enables me to publish videos and screenshots to their cloud app. I frequently need to generate step-by-step training and guides. I utilize CloudApp to propose screenshots to users. In addition, I've used this to offer video walkthroughs and also GIF graphic creations. The tool captures the screen image or video, directly uploads it to the cloud, and provides you with a shareable link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

Although it can send an email each time somebody opens a link I have shared, if I don't like this I could turn off the functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

Try it and you will be amazed just how incredible it is. Plus with annotations, you have the capacity to truly show what you're attempting to explain or describe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have a business that creates sites, and I operate in the training department - so I need to have screenshots and video clips available during the whole day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

It is so easy to use. I love how quickly the images and videos are uploaded and ready to share. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

CloudApp on the iPad doesn't really work very well. Screen recordings come out in portrait even if you recorded in landscape. So the screen is disproportioned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

Use it. It is worth it. I have used a lot of similar apps but none have been as easy to use or work with as CloudApp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use this every single day. I do support work and I am constantly using it to provide demo videos, screenshots with explanations. I also use it for blog post. I love that I can embed images and videos and stream them from Cloudapp servers instead of having to upload to my website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

It so SO much easier to make a screen share video than write another email that someone is going to skim. Also saves time because can do this instead of a lengthier zoom or something like that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

I wish it was easier to rename the different files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I can easily ask my team to change graphics and also train people on how to do tasks that are intricate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
