What do you like best about Greenshot?
The ability to remove/crop anything in the screenshot instantly before sending it. Also, I love how i am able to upload to imgur and other services just after editing it.
Greenshot is does its job better than the system default software in all operating systems, and it's heading in the right direction. With a little more development, they can perfect the software and overthrow everything else.
Greenshot's obfuscate makes it all the more easier for me to block sensitive information in the screenshot.
I would recommend Greenshot to everyone, not just professionals. Life would have been a lot more easier if I knew about greenshot when I was a kid, it was very difficult to brag about gaming achievements back then.

What do you dislike about Greenshot?
Greenshot isnt there for the Mac and Linux, this makes me waste more time in those operating systems, given that I use linux quite often, for software development.
Greenshot doesn't always work on OpenGL applications in Windows, and crashes often in that particular -case. Example : any video player, browsers sometimes.
Greenshot has trouble during startup sometimes, which crashes explorer.exe sometimes, that frustrates me whenever that happens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Greenshot?
The best thing I like about Greenshot is, it's editing features which are similar to Microsoft Paint, but when compared to Microsoft Paint, Greenshot is light weight, it consumes very less space in your system. In Greenshot image editor we can directly export the images to Microsoft Office tools such as Excel, Word, Powerpoint, OneNote, Outlook etc. Also we can upload the images directly to Confluence or Jira directly from the image editor screen itself. It's capabilities like Obfuscate, Highlight, Resize, Crop, drawing rectangle, ellipse what not it has everything that is required for editing the screenshots as well as any other images for business needs. The installation is also very easy. We use Greenshot in our VDI base image, as it takes very less space, which is ideal for VDIs and any virtual desktop environments. In envitonments where Light weight applications are preferred, Greenshot plays a crucial role. Also Greenshot is a perfect replacement for Windows Photos viewer application.

What do you dislike about Greenshot?
One thing that I dislike is it doesn't have any UI when opened directly, it will just run in background, we need to righ click on any image and select open with Greenshot Image Editor to get the GUI and all options, that is also fine considering the size of the application. Apart from that there is nothing to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Greenshot?
It is an easy-to-use snipping tool that provides better features than the Windows built-in snipping tool at no cost. There is no reason not to use the program and there is no use paying for anything else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Greenshot?
I wish there was more to the image editor but it does enough most of the time. I also wish after taking a snip that the options bar would show up bigger and not just small and in the corner of my monitor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
