I like their Snagit tool and Camtasia. I find them both easy to use, especially for those who need only intermediate capabilities. I use Snagit to capture screenshots and instruction graphics for our help center and Camtasia to do basic editing on webinar recordings. Works for my needs although their programs do crash occasionally and have bugs, I find I just need to exit the program entirely and restart it on my computer and that usually does the trick.

I've been a Snagit customer for years; it is a great alternative to more expensive products (like Adobe) if you don't have heavy graphics demands. I primarily take screenshots and draw system architecture diagrams for tech docs, so I'm not doing intensive photo editing by any means. Never crashed. I've used Camtasia for the past two years. It does seem a little buggy - I get a wierd black screen randomly when I clip video segments, and the file size it produces seem unnecessarily large. Also, the media directory isn't relative to the project, so if you move a project around you have to relink all your media. But I would still recommend it as a product for video production - again, not a power user by any means. Customer support is just fine - sometimes they can help, and sometimes they cant!

Camtasia is a great product I use daily, the only drawback is that the app can freeze when you work with an especially 'heavy' project. The overall experience is very satisfying.
