Nimbus Capture

Pros

At first, I was skeptical to use it but after giving it a try, I was so impressed.

It's a great alternative for Loom. There's no limit on how long the video recording is. That will be very useful when making long presentations. No need to worry about running out of time. Also, you can use annotations, which is not present on Loom. You can use it to make your video presentation more interesting and easy to understand. Again, this is not available on Loom.

I've been using the default screenshot function on my Mac but after trying Nimbus Capture, I think I now have a new favorite. I really like the Select & Scroll feature because it's very useful when trying to get a screenshot of a vertically long website. Trust me, you'll gonna need that feature someday.

I can now disable 2 extensions on my Chrome and just use Nimbus Capture. This will be my new favorite extension.

Cons

I don't see any issues so far. Though I suggest they add an on-screen timer when it is activated. You have to count in your head in order to know when the recording has started. Adding the on-screen timer will fix this.

Reasons for Choosing Nimbus Capture

Nimbus Capture has annotations and there's no time limit while screen recording. Also, I'll remove Awesome Screenshot because this app works well too and there's an option to upload the screen capture to my Nimbus Note account.

Reasons for Switching to Nimbus Capture

As I mentioned above, I would like to use just one tool and this one does it all, plus it also has more features.

Pros

It is extremely easy to use. The flexibility to use it for screen captures of the Internet as well as any open application on my laptop is 2nd to none. I just wish Capterra made dictation software; been my life would be complete. The Annotation tools are remarkable and I use them daily. And the ability to customize the tool to mirror how I use it most is priceless.

Cons

I wish I could choose a different default Annotation tool other than the arrow. I would set the default to crop because I use that more than any other Annotation tool. Also, once I annotate a screen capture and hit done, I wish it would automatically save a copy of it to my Google Drive and still give it the option to save it anywhere else as well.

Pros

Nimbus Capture was easy to use and learn

Cons

My team didn't have any issues with the actual product but we will never use Nimbus products again based on Nimbus shady business practices

Pros

I mainly use screen capture which has several options to use in itself. No other software does what Nimbus does that I can find. Simple, fast, and functional. I use this constantly during the day.

Cons

There are times when computer software is upgraded when one or two functions quit working. For example, the scroll and select doesn't work. I (and I assume many others) send a note to Nimbus. I find that it works as soon as the next day.

Pros

Nimbus Capture is ready at all times to make simple screenshots and annotations - very simple to engage with!

Cons

Opening my screenshot is a seperate tab is sometimes a pain, I wish there was a pop-out option that let me stay in my current tab to annotate.
