Excellent choice for digital asset management
What do you like best about the product?
Robust search function from any window. Ability to share portfolios with clients. Easily searchable assets. Easy to organize thousands of photographs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The difference between tagging and keywording is confusing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization of a large and continually growing photographic library
Canto
What do you like best about the product?
The Canto interface is very intuitive. The tagging system allows me to find specific assets instantly. The in-system editing to crop and resize prior to download is a big time-saver. Very detailed metadata helps me stay organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
The portals for customizable assets, links, etc. are an extra charge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto has allowed me to organize and share over 5,000 assets, accessible from any computer.
Great value for the cost
What do you like best about the product?
I like Canto's clean interface and customizable skins. We have different organizations within the company, and it's nice having branded portals for each. We also found Canto to be a good value for the overall cost in comparison with competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall it does the job nicely. I would like a few more user settings/options to customize the experience even more. There is a procedure for logging feature requests, and Canto reviews to determine if they are viable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem we have overcome is me having to field photography requests from the company using my own computer. That in itself has been a huge time saver. The other main benefit is having a searchable database. I am the principle photographer, and have been shooting for our company since 2001, so you can imagine the size of the database.
Canto is the best!

Review from a National Marketing Coordinator
What do you like best about the product?
The software is very easy to use and intuitive - I was not given much instruction or informations about the program but I picked up on it extremely quickly. It is a beautiful set up as well - nothing worse than staring at an ugly screen.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some buttons and options are missing - I accidentally related 25 photos and had to unrelate them all manually. Introducing an unrelate button would be a great addition.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
How to share good quality, on brand photos and assets with our employees across the country. This platform has been exceptionally helpful getting our digital assets to the people who need as our team does not have the capacity to work with everyone one-on-one to satisfy their needs.
Canto is great!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that all of my team can access project files and download them from wherever they are.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a little confusing to use at first. I wish there was an inline back button.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration between teammates and asset organization
Canto!
What do you like best about the product?
Our company has many remote workers, and other organizations under the umbrella. so it's nice having a file storing system that anyone can reach. It's also been super convenient for sharing files with people. Lots of great tools in canto for tagging and keeping all the files organized and searchable.
What do you dislike about the product?
it's something so small that I'll figure out eventually. I don't like you can only upload things into albums. and albums are organized into folders. I just feel like we normally upload into folders. See such a small complaint.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem that is solved is we no longer have to share a (very slow) drive to store are digital assets and now everyone in the company is learning how to navigate canto so they don't have to come to my team for whatever they need.
Much improved over the previous interation
What do you like best about the product?
The previous perpetual display of search results which often consumed all the system RAM was Image Relay's greatest flaw as it cause the browser to freeze. The latest iteration has fixed this by limiting results to 100 items. This has increased usability exponentially, although it would be even better if the limit was increased to 200 or 300 items. The new boolean search and modern interface is also appreciated.
What do you dislike about the product?
Generated previews from images embedded with Adobe RGB profiles do not respect the profile and causes the previews to be over-saturated even on color profile-aware browsers. While sRGB embedded images display properly, it makes less sense to store them with sRGB profiles.
Inability to carry over metadata from PDF files.
Limiting search results to 100 items actually decreased productivity as more clicks are required. The perpetual search results is actually faster if total number of results did not consume all the RAM.
Folders can't be omitted from a search. We have old folders with huge number of items that don't have to be queried for every search.
Folders are sorted by date of creation and will not conform to a sorting scheme. They must be sorted manually. While there are times when a custom sort scheme is useful, sometimes it is not and they have to be hand-sorted every time. Implementing an adjustable setting would be appreciated.
Advanced search panel continue to display even when I have navigated away from search. Clicking on Collections and then back to Library clears the panel.
Downloading the auto-generated Screen Ready Images are too small even for web use.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As our assets now sit in the cloud, sharing assets online is far simpler without the complications of granting users access into our local servers which they may or may not be able to do. With Image Relay, all they need is a browser and login information.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
An inexpensive DAM system which has improved quite a lot. If it was the previous iteration, I would not have recommended it, but at its current state, it's a thumbs up.
Canto - Perfect Digital Asset Management

Great for sharing across to other shareholders that can view your items.
