AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- G2 reviewers report that Canva excels in user-friendliness, with many users highlighting its intuitive interface that allows even non-designers to create stunning visuals quickly. One user mentioned, "I wasn't a designer and didn't really understand how things worked, but starting with a blank canvas, I could quickly and easily create something."
- Users say that Ahrefs stands out for its robust SEO features, particularly the backlinking capabilities. Reviewers appreciate how it effectively manages large volumes of backlinks, with one user stating, "I love the backlinking feature in Ahrefs; it's better than any other tools I've used."
- According to verified reviews, Canva's extensive library of templates and design elements makes it a go-to tool for presentations and marketing materials. A user noted, "Canva has got a huge range of templates, fonts, icons etc., so it is my go-to tool anytime I’ve got to make a presentation."
- Reviewers mention that Ahrefs provides excellent tools for competitor research and website audits, with features like the content gap analysis being particularly praised. One user remarked, "It helps to audit website and backlink profile and one can do in-depth competitor research."
- Users highlight that Canva's setup process is straightforward, with many appreciating the stepwise guides available for beginners. One user shared, "There's a lot of help available, like stepwise PDFs for the initial setup, so it’s pretty easy and beginner-friendly to set up."
- G2 reviewers note that while both tools have strong support, Canva edges out slightly with a higher quality of support rating. Users have expressed satisfaction with the assistance available, which contributes to a smoother overall experience compared to Ahrefs.
