Snagit is very easy to use. In fact, it’s so easy that it will save you time over using other tools.
Deployment:
Snagit is software you install on your computer. It is compatible for both Mac and Windows users.
Special Features:

Grab text, make objects in your screenshots movable, replace text, capture screens, move objects, remove image backgrounds, and more. If you need to manipulate screenshots or simple screen recordings, then Snagit offers you everything you need.
Disadvantages:
This tool is a lot like Camtasia, only a simplified version that is better at some tasks, like manipulating screenshots. If you’re going to make screen capture or screen recordings for online courses, you probably don’t need Snagit in addition to Camtasia since it duplicates many features.
