Pros
Easy to use, light on resources, stays out of way
Cons
Edit tools a touch kludge but for a free app quite simple yet complete
Summary
i tried 3-4 of CNET's highest rated free screen capture tools the past few years and this is the best I've found yet

Pros
Great. Just plain great. Well thought out. Maybe it sounds dumb to someone that an app that just takes a screen shot is so important. But with this program, in just seconds, I can take a picture of a small portion of the screen add some arrows and text and send an email. It is amazing. There are a zillion options too. I only look inside the options once in a while when I think of a way to improve the product seeing that the option is already in there.
Cons
There are no cons period.
Summary
This product makes me more productive and allows me to get points across easily to others that I am emailing with rather than having to give them shared access to my screen. With the built-in image editor, you can add to the image text, shapes and arrows very quickly without the need to open a heavyweight photo editing program. I have been using this app on XP for almost a year and then put it on a Windows 8.1 machine a month ago. Both work well. No errors. No speed impact. Thanks

Pros
Magnifier window for capturing exactly the area you want. Easy interface, very straightforward. Minimal clicks to get screenshot where you want it. Copies to the clipboard as well.
Cons
I don't think there's an option to just have it play a "click" when you capture the screen and nothing more. Minimum it shows a context menu asking if you want to save with standard settings or specify your settings.
Summary
I have never found a better screen capture software, and I can't really think of how you would make it better!

There are a great many good things to be said about this freeware, just read all the information on their site, download it to try it, and you will see for yourself.
Cons
Unless I am very mistaken, any text you add has to be in a box, it does not seem possible to add text without it being in a text box. Also the box you make needs to be the right length for the text you are going to put into it. And unless I am again mistaken, it does not appear to be possible to adjust the position of the box by dragging it, like you can with, say, PicPick. For these reasons I am not keeping GreenShot.

Pros
I've tried many screenshot apps, both free and paid. I work for a software company in the implementation division and find myself creating TONS of training materials that require screenshots. Greenshot makes it very easy for me to take shots of an entire desktop, window, contents, etc with hot keys.
Cons
No real cons to speak of. There are MANY configuration options that could be intimidating to novice users, but I see that as a plus personally.

Pros
Fast, reliable, a lot of functions, highly customizable
Cons
Can't capture video
Summary
I used to make screenshots with Jing, but it was awfully slow and not very stable. Greenshot works faster and has all I need: capture-and-upload in two clicks and ability to edit screenshots.

Pros
Free. Beats any other screen capture tool out there!
Cons
None - but I have a couple of features I wish are there.
Summary
Excellent tool. Better than the paid version of snagit that I normally use!
When you capture a screen it prompts you to which word document you want the image to be pasted in...- I love this feature.
But it would be great if the following features are also provided :
1) An option by which the image can be automatically pasted to given filename or the last file that was accessed automatically (without prompting with a list of files to choose from)
2) Another option by which the tool will paste into the document into which you click .

Pros
I really love this app. I can choose what to copy/cut - a page, an image on the page, part of a page and then save it to to one of my Office apps, Dropbox, Picasa and many other online sites.
Cons
Haven't found any yet.
Summary
When I don't need to use Evernote, but I want to save what I see, GreenShot does the trick intuitively and quickly.

Pros
Easy to use for even novice computer users - no big training required.
Nice intuitive interface.
It has the set of gizmos you'd want for documentation (arrows, highlight, crop, obfuscation) without a lot of extra stuff clogging up the program.
You can save and load objects that you frequently use (like numbering for instance).
You can "Open with GreenShot" to use the gizmos on other images collected outside of GreenShot.
Cons
I haven't tried any of the other newer screenshot utilities. It is possible one of them might have something extra that GreenShot doesn't. I don't know what that might be.
