Easy-to-use tool to scale design and collaboration with creative work
What do you like best about the product?
I love that both me and the design team I work with can design and share in the same space. They can edit what I'd done, or create and place in folders I can easily access. Plus, brand elements like colors and fonts are saved for me -- so we stay on brand no matter who is making the creative work.
This has allowed us to rapidly deploy imagery we need for social media with templates and without a ton of back and forth. I can't imagine working without it (and I can design in Adobe Creative Cloud products).

What do you dislike about the product?
More than one person could be editing the same creative work and there aren't alerts this is happening. It would be an enhancement to tell someone trying to edit that someone else is currently in it (like Pardot does with emails).
Also, Twitter specifications tend to not fit well on Twitter when deploying. That may be their issue though?

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Efficient design work specifically for social media. I've seen much faster processes, self-service capabilities for myself (vs. sending everything through our design team) and templates.
"Canva" My very-own self-employed designer
What do you like best about the product?
Good looking contents made by me when I don't know anything about using a designing software... I create my own logos, my own presentations, my own social media posts, it's all in seconds. Just like clapping my hand.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is honestly nothing that I don't like about canva. Did you know that you can actually import someone else made design to your profile? Well, if you don't know, the Canva templates are not limited, but you can actually search and import many other templates from many other designers. (Paid and Free)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use canva to solve my simple issues without needing a designer, like social media contents, business card designs, presentations, zoom backgrounds :)
Love Canva - use it daily for ALL creative needs! Just wish it had drawing tools, then it'd be a 10!
What do you like best about the product?
Love the flexibility of adding and editing designs. They are constantly updating and adding innovations and helpful tools, making the platform even more valuable each day. It's so user-friendly, anyone can use it, even a non-designer. The team collaboration is good and sharing designs is easy. The addition of filters and removing background has taken photoshopping OFF my plate!
What do you dislike about the product?
The only drawback is that there's no drawing tools like Adobe CS has. I have to use the shapes feature to add lines and boxes in my designs, or upload a stock photo of an arrow. If Canva had these types of drawing tools, it'd be an 11! The only issue is that it logs me out sometimes or has an issue uploading or saving, but with the desktop version I don't have that problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating stellar infographics from their great templates, putting stunning social sharable graphics together & so much more! The benefits are numerous, NOT having to get into an expensive design tool to do major edits makes Canva worth every penny, including the advanced photo editing and background remover. It's definitely a time-saver too!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
SOLID/FAVORITE design tool, especially for social media shareables!
Excellent software for all design needs
What do you like best about the product?
I've used a lot of graphic design softwares. Canva has excellent and intuitive interface to make any beginner feel at ease about designing their own graphics. I love their assortment of fonts and templates. There are also frames, borders, and any sort of graphics to easily help you create what you visualize. My favorite part are the elements feature. You get access to many amazing graphics for free, and you can also add your own. It also easily integrates with online stock photo sites like pixabay and unsplash, which is very helpful. The intuitive drag-and-drop interface doesn't require a learning curve. The templates are also an amazing way to whip up a quick design even for someone who's not much of designer. I also love the fact that everything is saved real-time in the cloud so your work doesn't get lost.
What do you dislike about the product?
When it comes to building vector graphics out of basic shapes, Canva isn't a good option. I have also found that the designs we make in PC are slightly altered sometimes when you view it on your phone. You cannot draw graphics from scratch that aren't basic shapes, and it also doesn't allow the creative freedom most design software offer. The image resize options are also limited for some graphics. I would have also loved to have a grid feature to easily create layouts. A layer panel would also make editing a lot easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canva is my go-to tool for when there is a need for any social media graphics or an infographic for personal or business purposes. It's very convenient to have a software in your phone and PC that allows you to easily create any sort of visuals that doesn't need to lean too much on the authentic side.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
To make the most of Canva, explore the elements section thoroughly. If you're unsure about the availability of a feature, check out their blog and forums and it will surely have an answer. Try integrating your Canva designs with other tools like Photoshop. With a little bit of creativity, you can easily create beautiful and original graphics with the tool.
Easy to use and beautiful designs
What do you like best about the product?
I like how each template is sized perfectly to accommodate various social media platforms. I like how all designs are automatically saved, too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the colors you pick come out different upon downloading as a pdf. Also, sometimes graphics will appear free, but then be watermarked that you have to pay for them.Finally, some graphics I did purchase went away, despite buying them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have realized the benefits of graphic design. While many businesses and organizations cannot afford it, Canva makes designs look professional. It also seems like a good starter tool to use if you want to eventually invest in more advanced design software.
Canva is one of my favorite tools for designing. It has wonderful and free resources
What do you like best about the product?
Canva is a tool that can be of great help to people who are beginning in design, since it has resources such as templates and elements that are of great help to create logos, social media posts, cards and more. The best thing is that it can be used for free without problems. It has an easy to use GUI. I also like the fact that you can create a workgroup and invite members to collaborate with your designs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately, the best elements and templates are only available in the paid version, however, the Canva subscription is affordable, especially the enterprise version, as it can span a large workgroup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been using Canva for some time to create the publications and stories of our company social networks since it has many useful resources for designing them. In addition, I have also used it to create logos and business cards. The best thing is that Canva has the dimensions that all my designs use, which greatly facilitates the work and saves me a lot of time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are starting out in the world of design and don't have the money to pay for a design program, I recommend using Canva, since the resources that this platform has will not be found anywhere else for free. I also recommend it for work teams, since it has excellent collaboration tools.
Cutting Edge Online Graphic Designing Software
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to add multiple team members for online collaboration is the best thing that I like about Canva. Also, it is possible to store design for future usage.
What do you dislike about the product?
The dislike thing is, it does not have pre-made templates for standard sizes like FB posts, Twitter photos etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I create, design, and share beautiful designs for our social media posts, websites and blogs all through Canva graphic designing app.
Creative Writing's Best Free Resource
What do you like best about the product?
Canva is an awesome site that allows users to upload their own photos, manipulate and enhance them, and add words.
I've used this in my Creative Writing class for students to create media that both utilizes their stories and their own photos and students love it.
The platform takes a little time to figure out but for the most part, a little playing around on the site is all it takes to get the hang of it. My students are able to express themselves in an entirely new way and can now incorporate a new, visual level of creativity into their work.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some aspects of creation seem to unnecessarily require many steps. For example, in order to upload a photo to use, one has to visit a different part of the site than where he or she is creating an image.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Students love using Canvas because they get to use their own photos and they like that the results are "Social Media worthy" of being posted on their own platforms. The site is free and easy to use with our Chromebooks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The free version is an easy way to engage students with a new medium online. It's also used by my colleagues to create their own content which can be used in Google Slides or as Classroom posts.
Bye-bye Photoshop!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I don't have to figure out how to do create, it's all created for me -- I just have to choose what I like.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile app doesn't show whether an image is free or paid. I would like to be able to search for only Free images (web and mobile)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Time saver. Don't have to learn how to do things on Photoshop anymore.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Drop Photoshop. Use Canva!
Canva is an amazing tool!!!
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use by far is my favorite feature. No matter what part of canva you are working with (templates, logos, from scratch) they make it extremely simple!!! I also enjoy that there is a template for ANYTHING you can think of and you can easily edit any asset on the template to create your vision and bring it to life. Resizing photos is a breeze, creating ads for social media is simple. I use this almost daily and love it. I even pay for Adobe Suite and still find myself using Canva more often than photoshop.
What do you dislike about the product?
Dislike seems like a harsh word but I guess the only thing I "dislike" would be that sometimes I want to use a feature that isn't free and I have to find a work around. For me personally I am not ready to start paying monthly because I've been able to accomplish my goals with the free version but I imagine the paid is even better. Maybe one day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to easily resize photos for the websites I am building has been a HUGE help and it is so much quicker and easier than photoshop. I also regularly use canva to help me create e-vites, banner ads, social media ads, logos, infographs/charts for clients. I am not a graphic designer but Canva helps me create things I could never do before.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it. If you're unsure then try to complete the same project on Canva and then on your current software and see how easy and helpful it is.
