What do you like best about Zight?

CloudApp has a lot of options and features for taking screenshots and short clips, as well as marking them up, and sharing them in a variety of ways. The "point" markup option is great, as well as the privacy filter. You can choose whether to copy the image/content or the CloudApp URL, you can customize shortcuts, etc. It's been very useful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

There isn't a way (that I know of) to easily integrate with a longer-term image hosting solution. Sometimes my coworkers would conveniently add a screenshot to an email, support request or bug card and the image would expire from the cloud before they were examined. The only way to really mitigate this is to download the image from CloudApp and upload it somewhere else, manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I'm able to quickly, easily, and conveniently communicate with customers *visually*. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

I love that I can easily grab a screenshot, add a markup to it and share it with my team in under a minute. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

There isn't anything I dislike really. Although I do wish there were some more options in the markup editor -- different text options, etc. When adding in long content it's not the best tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Giving instructions on how to access different parts of software, either with screen recordings or marked-up screenshots. Communicating with my remote team on edits that need to be made -- with Cloud App I can do that quickly and effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I get notified that someone watched a recording when all I have done is pasted the link into Slack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a developer I take screen shots of my code, as well as the output of my code so that other developers and our designers can quickly solve problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

Hi,

I was using till now another snipping tool

and I'm trying these days your CloudApp.

I found it very useful for its plenty of options

and that you can go back to your previous collections.

Thanks, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

I would be happy if you could add a "Print" function to your Share menu.

Secondly, how don't you have the Do and Undo functions, it's basic.

Actually I can use Delete but not at all the actions.

I also didn't see the Erase function...

Thanks, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I can crop photo and mark on it arrows and other highlights to explain better

what I need, add text, share and downloads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

I love how quick and easy CloudApp is. If I need to do a quick screenshot and annotate or record a video within seconds it's by far the best app. Also, you get a shareable link immediately when it is finished. So easy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

Not really any downsides. I requested the have folders/collections to add videos and screenshots and they came out with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use it 20+ times a day to send screenshots to clients or create quick videos to show how to do something. I realized how much time I was wasting do it with another software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

It's very easy to use, and I appreciate that my desktop isn't cluttered with billions of screenshots and short recordings I need once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

The collection dashboard is so hard and clunky to navigate. Additionally, I've had issues of past URLs suddenly not working, when I have a doc where every single piece of creative I've ever used is shared by a Cloudapp URL. This isn't great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

CloudApp has gone through some growing pains to turn into one of my favorite secret weapons. It allows me to refrain from overloading my clients' mailboxes with large attachments and reinforce my branding at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

Because CloudApp is in growth mode, things change frequently and I often follow a link to a different view than I had seen before. The changes are usually great, though they sometimes degrade the experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I've created a relatively seamless way to share proposals, screenshots, and links that reinforces my brand and works with a very quick workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

It is a all-in-one solution for those who want to record screen tutorials or take snapshots. Provides the ability to simultaneously record the screen with an overlay video of the front camera with a nice layout. Stores all videos, GIFs and snapshots in the Cloud and allows easy sharing. There are a lot of keyboard shortcuts which facilitate the capture of content. The shortcuts are user configurable. The level of personalization of the Cloud sharing platform is top-notch and goes well beyond similar solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

Could allow for higher resolution recording and provide different options regarding layouts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

No problems. Just a lot of fun! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

Quick, simple way to share images and videos to colleagues. Track when someone clicks the link. I like the weekly recap email and Productivity Dashboard. This shows time saved in the last week and time saved to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

Login process. It does not keep me logged in on reboot of my Mac. Sometimes I want just the link and other times I want the actual image. A more native integration to slack would be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Collaboration and keeping it DRY. Sharing content with my peers so they can quickly review content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

The thing I like BEST is the effortless video capture. The workflow to select a capture area before recording, record actions within that region, and immediately paste the captured link or content feels perfectly designed.

The ability to quickly annotate a capture in a straightforward tool before sharing is a close second! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

The only problem I have had so far is that if I position the mouse cursor to show a tooltip or other item shown on hover, pressing my shortcut to take a screenshot behaves as though I have moved the mouse away before capturing. I can work around this using the delayed screenshot option, but I would prefer that this behaviour was the default for all captures. A previous tool I used would snapshot the state of the entire screen at the moment the hotkey was pressed and then let me select my capture area from within that frozen-in-time image; I prefer this as default behaviour.

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

I work in technical support, with most of my support provided by email. Being able to present a clear visual aid to my support clients is extremely valuable, and I am saving a lot of time and eliminating many back-and-forth email chains and phone calls by using CloudApp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
