Features	8.5 Diigo offers basic features for a highlighter and bookmarking tool. It works well and we were able to highlight most websites and they were recreated when revisiting them. The highlighter popup makes it easy to highlight text offering 4 colors. It looks like this: We would have wished to have more color options. Also, note-taking and the tagging functionality are working, but its design does not look appealing. The dashboard where your highlights are stored works well and gives you an overview of all your highlights.	9.8 Text Blaze stands out because its features are unmatched by other tools. It excels at what it’s designed to do: generating text from shortcuts. The possibilities for creating your text snippets are practically limitless. You can: Insert clipboard content Add text fields Add dropdowns Create dynamic formulas And so much more...
Performance	8.0 Diigo performs well in terms of highlighting and syncing across devices. The fact that highlights are always synchronized can cause some loading delays. It's not as fast as other highlighters that use an offline-first approach, but it works reasonably well. However, the unreliable link creation feature and the simple sidebar outliner design need improvement.	9.7 Text Blaze performs exceptionally well. There is no need to save, so that updating your shortcuts is straightforward. The snippets load quickly, and the AutoPilot feature works seamlessly.
Design	7.0 The design fulfills its functionality. The design of Diigo is outdated and could use a modern refresh. The lack of a nice overview of all your highlights on the page itself means you have to open the dashboard on diigo.com instead. The dashboard on diigo.com is okay, but other highlighters like Web Highlights have a much nicer user interface.	9.5 The user interface is clean and intuitive, making it easy to navigate and organize snippets.
Value for Money	8.0 The free version of Diigo offers basic features and is fine for most users. The paid plans are reasonably priced and similar to other highlighters. However, we think other highlighters offer more value for the same price.	9.5 The free version is quite powerful, and there was no need to upgrade for us when using it. The premium version offers good value for money, especially for teams. It's worth the investment as it will save you a lot of time.
Ease of Use	7.8 Diigo is fairly easy to use, but the sidebar outliner takes some time to get used to. You can't see all your highlights on the page itself, so you have to go to the dashboard on diigo.com. We wish there was a sidebar to quickly access all our highlighted pages, like in the Web Highlights extension.	8.5 Setting up and using Text Blaze is straightforward. The web interface is user-friendly, and the snippets are easy to create and manage. The only minor downside is the initial account creation process. Basic tasks like adding text fields are super simple, but some of the more advanced features might take a bit of time to master. That said, it's definitely worth the effort because they'll save you tons of time in the long run.
Security & Privacy	7.5 Diigo takes reasonable steps to protect user data. However, since you need an account and your data is stored in their database, absolute protection can't be guaranteed. We think a highlighter should work without needing to sign up, but this feature is missing in Diigo.	9.0 An account is required, but Text Blaze ensures that your data is secure and not sold or made public. The privacy policy is transparent and trustworthy. However, as with any online tool, it's essential to stay updated on their privacy policy.
Conclusion	Diigo is a handy tool for collecting stuff from the web, like bookmarks, highlights, and notes. It’s a good deal with its premium plans, but the old-fashioned design and limited highlight colors might be a turn-off. If you want something that looks nicer and offers more customization, check out alternatives like Web Highlights.	Text Blaze is a must-have tool for anyone looking to save time on repetitive typing tasks. Its powerful features, ease of use, and versatility make it an excellent choice for professionals across various fields. While some advanced features require a premium subscription, the value it offers is well worth the investment.
