Overall Satisfaction with Canva

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Canva allows marketers of every level to be self sufficient with designing quality marketing collateral. I have little to no background in design, and before I signed up for Canva I would often find myself heavily depending on design teams to deliver marketing assets.

Canva is empowering marketers to operate autonomously in the workplace by producing sleek and engaging designs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Gives users simple tools to create effective graphics
Easy to use interface with a wide variety of templates
Good repository of deign-ready images

Cons

I'd like to have more control over cropping and layering
It is sometimes difficult to find the right template for your project

Return on Investment

Canva has enabled me to create striking imagery that I would otherwise replace with stock imagery or something less compelling.

Alternatives Considered

I use Snappa in conjunction with Canva because I like the way I'm able to organize infographics in Snappa but I prefer Canva's image editing piece.

Likelihood to Recommend

I use Canva to create quick graphics for presentations and social media. I also use it in conjunction with other sites to create some infographics. I wouldn't use Canva for more detailed or rigorous campaigns unless you were using a paid version.
