Super friendly & easy to use Design Software
What do you like best about the product?
The Canva design suite allows you to quickly and easily design a variety of materials. The entire design suite is very intuitive and doesn't require massive amounts of training or experience. All of the final products look professional and well done.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a small library of available illustrations/photos to use. You really need to have a large library of images that you've uploaded personally.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I run the product education program for my company and with Canva, I can quickly design Facebook cover photos and event photos for the various webinars and events I run for our subscribers. This gives me more time to focus on other tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Spend some time just playing around and learning all the different capabilities. It's a great design suite for those who don't need to have the most highly customized/graphic designs.
Great for business owners without graphic design know-how or quick fixes
What do you like best about the product?
I love how user-friendly Canva is! You definitely need to pay a little bit to use the extra features that make your designs better, but it's worth it.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you're at all familiar with the Adobe Suite, you would find Canva restricting. Or, if you have a very specific design in mind you may also find it restricting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If you're a business owner who can't afford to hire a graphic designer but has a creative eye, or has limited access to a graphic designer this is a great tool for on the fly graphics anyone can do.
Canva-great for marketing pros and casual designers
What do you like best about the product?
Canva is great for marketing professionals who do not have quick access to a full-fledged designers. I use it to make infographics, email and web headers.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Canva had more photo editing capabilities. If Canva also had those capabilities, I would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs to quickly create designs and don't went to spend a lot of money on, or who does not have a lot of design experience--or time!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need to be able to create quick graphics, such as email headers, infographics, etc., on the fly without using a graphic. Canva is one of the easiest programs out there! Since it's in the cloud, you can edit on the fly, wherever you are.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Canva for quick turnaround graphic art projects.
Great for people not blessed with design skills!

Canva makes it easy to put together visuals on the fly. Looking to change up your social ad visuals? Canva is a great tool to quickly put together a visual that looks professional.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the items you have to pay for to use. However, that's a small price to pay for quality visuals
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canva is mostly used for social media advertisements because I can easily design visuals with a template designed for each specific platform.
Make what you need, quickly and easily
What do you like best about the product?
Similar tools can be overwhelming for those of us not trained in image editing, but not Canva. Canva's interface is simple and intuitive. Their support team was helpful and their blog is full of great tips and tricks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've had Canva or the browser hiccup and I've lost some work. But that's the downside to web apps and is certainly a small downside to all the work I've done with Canva.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've been able to pump up graphics for our blog and social media accounts.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend this especially for "citizen editors" those of us without formal training who still need to make quality, personalized images for blogs and social media.
Marketing Event Manager

All marketing promo and internal visual comms.
Love Canva
What do you like best about the product?
It's extremely easy to you, you can play around with different designs, share out your designs and get input from your team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the system does freeze and I will sometimes lose the work that has been created, but rarely does that happen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to create graphics in the moment is extremely helpful. Working in social media you need to be able to jump on to something really quickly and not always do we have the time to sit and send something over to our creative department. Canva lets you design quickly, download, and post up to your channels.
LOVE CANVA

It is so incredibly simple to use and requires no prior knowledge of web design. I love that you can upload custom fonts, re-size previously designed graphics, and that they listen to the community and update the platform.

Servers sometimes get overloaded and designs stop saving.

Social Media design assets have a super quick turnaround that don't require going through an agency or brand partners. It also has a large library of free stock images which also eliminates are large cost that is usually required by stock image sites.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are new, do the tutorials and learning materials. They are incredibly useful when learning how to navigate the program and all of its features.
Also do not forget that you can upload custom fonts, logos, and other branding materials if you upgrade to the business account. Highly recommended!

Canva is easy to use and has amazing design templates to help my business.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to drag and drop, to create a theme, and the ability to export to pdf. I was able to create a unique syllabus for my students this semester and I plan on using it to create more amazing resources for my classroom next year. It has benefited my business as well as peaked the interest in lessons for my students. I did the trial for the premium package, and I love the ability to export with a transparent background. I created my business logo with Canva and the ability to easily download it as a pdf has left me the option to create different versions of my logo to add to my blog, products, and videos.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a larger selection of designs that continue to be added for the free option. The design tools that I need, like clipart, aren't always available, so I have to upload my own vectors from time to time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am better at designing to promote my business on social media. The designs gain a lot of attention from users. Canva has changed the way that I create materials for my classroom and business. I really enjoy being able to create resources for my students that engage them and make them want to complete assignments.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think that the premium option is worth it if you have a business, but the free option is incredible for all the design options that it gives you.
Excellent online design software
What do you like best about the product?
I like that coming from advanced design program like Illustrator I did not miss any basic features. Very inuitive to use and different enough so I was not stuck in use pattern of Illustrator. (It is hard to use gimp :P)
What do you dislike about the product?
The only minus is that you have to work online. So with poor wifi it is hard to upload bigger images.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating beautiful and unique information and visual materials for social media and website.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I still use Illustrator but for quicker projects that do not need to be 100% original looking I sue templates in Canva.
