Centralized visual workflows have boosted automation and brand control but still need better dev tooling
While Canva Enterprise is a powerhouse, there are specific areas where it could be improved. Currently, Canva provides an Open API specification, but it does not maintain official first-party client libraries for languages like Java or Python. Developers have to use tools like Open API generator to create their own clients. This adds overhead in managing dependencies and ensuring the generated code handles Canva's specific authentication. Canva could release a first-party Java SDK with better support for Maven and Gradle, including built-in retry logic. Another area for improvement is versioning. For developers, versioning usually means a clear history of changes. However, Canva has basic version history that is linear and lacks the branching and merging logic needed for complex projects. Design as Code features could be implemented where templates could be exported as JSON and modified in an integrated development environment. This would allow developers to manage design templates in the same continuous integration and continuous deployment pipeline as their application code. Additionally, Canva currently provides notifications when a design is exported. However, developers need more granular triggers such as comment added, approval rejected, or brand kit element updated. Canva could expand the webhook suite to cover every administrative and creative action, which would allow much tighter integrations with Jira, Slack, or custom internal dashboards.

Centralized social channels have transformed daily engagement and reporting workflows
Regarding how Sprout Social can be improved, these are very minor areas. Sometimes we have this metric called action rate, which reflects how fast a message has been touched in Sprout Social, whether that is the message being tagged, responded to, or closed out. Apparently, we cannot get a 100% action rate because some responses come in that are auto-replied to, and that action rate misses that. I think this is one thing that can be improved: figuring out how to count those auto-responded messages. This is a niche area. Outside of that, I do not have much advice for improvements in Sprout Social; I truly think it is a hub of value and provides a lot for us. The user interface is great; it is super friendly. For someone who has never touched it before, I knew where everything was and maneuvered through it within a week of using it. The integrations are seamless with all of our social media accounts: Reddit, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and all of that. We can also export data and PDF files, which helps us with other projects. I see very minimal improvements needed on my end; I think it is a very valuable program that we use.

Cons

"Canva Enterprise needs more features similar to Adobe to improve."
"Canva Enterprise is heavy software."
"Currently, Canva provides an Open API specification, but it does not maintain official first-party client libraries for languages like Java or Python."
"For advanced, complex designs that need to be created, Canva Enterprise is not capable of handling them, which is something that needs to be improved."
"Canva Enterprise can be improved in its AI functionality."
"I think Canva Enterprise can be improved because currently, it is not as powerful as other tools such as Photoshop and Illustrator."
"There are many features that are available only in the pro version or are restricted to advanced plan features, which can be costly."
"Canva Enterprise currently has limited features and is not as powerful as Photoshop or Illustrator."
"My advice to others considering Sprout Social is that I believe it is a good platform to use temporarily for some clients, but it does not scale well for growth."
"Sometimes, when it comes to user experience, it's really hard to tag businesses in the copy because the way they appear in the dropdown is really slow, and it doesn't always find them, even when I use the at symbol to tag them."
"If you do not already have existing solutions and you are using the platform to help schedule out marketing campaigns, it will not be that helpful."
"It is not perfect. Sometimes its information or its syncing to platforms is clunky, so you end up having slightly wrong information or data."
"Sprout Social could be improved by being able to schedule out Stories, which is a current limitation."
"Currently, in the pilots that I have done, I have not found it to be very highly accurate, so there is a felt need to get improvements in those areas."
"As of now, I have been using Sprout Social for almost two years, but there are some glitches in the back-end; sometimes the posts are not integrated or do not come with the proper details, proper dates, or proper content."
"Realistically, I find the pricing quite high."
