Pro Allows annotating, highlighting and obfuscating screenshots
Pro Can capture an entire webpage
Instead of just capturing the visible portion of the page, this tool can capture all of the page in one image by scrolling through the page, taking images at set points and then stitching the images together.
Pro Can be quickly invoked with the print screen button
Pressing the print screen button will allow you to select the captured area.
Pro Selecting custom rectangle is the default
Easy to use selection tool with a magnifier to select only the part of the screen that you need.
Pro Classic UI design makes it easy to use.
Pro Exceptionally fast for NTFS drives
Because it reads the master file table (MFT) directly from NTFS file system.
Pro Free
There is no limitation to using it.
Pro Multiple view such as tree view, tree map, extension view, file view
Unlike other similar apps, which usually only offer single view, this app offers multiple views.
Pro Handles "hard linked" files correctly - doesn't count them more than once
WizTree is faster and much more accurate than all the others as it properly handles hard linked files (doesn't count them more than once) so the total allocated size reported by WizTree will actually match the space used on the drive as reported by Windows.
Cons
Con Scrolling window capture is only working in Internet Explorer
Con This version only works on Windows, not Linux nor Mac
However, the same author now has a separate version of Greenshot for iOS, which is available (for a small fee) in the Mac App Store at https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/greenshot/id1103915944
Con Intended for NTFS only
It'll work with any other file system but with the same speed as any generic space analyzer.
