Vidcast is an asynchronous video messaging solution that uses recorded, instantly-shareable video to keep teams connected at any time. With Vidcast, users can record, edit and share short video messages as a way to provide feedback and updates without being tripped up by meeting schedules and time zones.
Droplr is most appropriate when taking quick screenshots and sharing them internally. It's outrageously easy to take a Droplr link, paste it in Slack, and have the screenshot unfurl.
Droplr is least suited to sharing assets between you and a client. If you're sharing a screenshot, you have to paste the link, then copy the image that's featured within the link to share the asset. You can't guarantee that a client would actually click on a deliverable link, so it takes up time and storage space.
It's very well suited for sharing content, making training sessions on your PC and having the ability to then spread it across the organization with a very easy access for everyone. Very user-friendly. So for those examples, it's great to use.
Making screenshots and recordings couldn't be simpler. I use these features constantly and it helps me to improve the user experience prior to user testing and delivery. The users can actually see how these functions will work and can replay/review them easily.
The process of sharing files is simple and the desktop app, as well as browser extensions, make it a real pleasure to use.
The tagging and categorization of boards, as well as the ability to share these collections with others, is invaluable. This allows me to easily share, for example, a large number of concepts at once so I do not have to send multiple links to customers and collaborators.
The windows app is not very reliable, it has some bugs still that are being worked out.
The screen selection for video would be better if you didn't have to share the entire screen or window. It would be nice if you could record only a selected area like with a screenshot.
When taking a screenshot with the chrome extension it would be nice if it were more clear what area your mouse was in right after clicking. For instance, highlight the cross-hair and dim the rest of the screen. The screen would lighten only in the area you select.
There are pros and cons to each and every one of them. To be honest, I use them all for different scenarios. Snagit is a desktop app and is a bit more heavy-duty. I don't necessarily need that all the time. CloudApp is the most comparable - it is also good in its own way
We have used Snipping Tool, which is a basic laptop tool to use for the same purposes, but Snipping Tool can be a little bit more tricky for usage and Vidcast is available with one click on the WebEx App. So it's a different experience, but Snipping through is a little bit faster than in the beginning.
I use Droplr every day and it's been a huge boost for productivity since I never need to think about how a screenshot will be shared. It's just built in and so easy.
