An essential in the organization
What do you like best about the product?
Accessing Canto on the internet is an advantage because we can use it everywhere! Moreover, it allows for better organization and centralization of assets. It is very easy to integrate assets and use it.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I don't like, just from time to time there are small bugs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows us to better organize our assets. To give access to certain people and especially to have only up-to-date and quality assets that can be exploited by all collaborators. It also allows for entering information about photos and videos (location, product, type of varieties...).
Great Asset Management Tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Canto is an awesome tool. Its user interface is exceptionally intuitive and user-friendly once you start working with it. The support team is there every step of the way, offering fantastic suggestions and responding promptly to any questions.
What do you dislike about the product?
We haven't had an issues with Canto so far!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping our team have a centralized hub to hold all of our assets. Before Canto, we all just saved all of our assets to our own individual hard drives. This solution has been amazing to easily access all assets across our team!
Powerful platform with a learning curve
What do you like best about the product?
The myriad of options to add metadata to images and videos, allowing for comprehensive and easy search. Organization is easily accomplished with folders and albums. Customized portals are great to share certain assets with other groups. Sharing is easy, and I like that fact that I can share outside my organization with just a link (no password or login required). The new AI feature promises to help me find images even quicker and easier. I also LOVE the ability to request images from other people, who do not have to be a user on our account. We use a QR code printed on a business card, then attendees at an event can simply scan the QR code on their phone and upload pics right into our album.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface requires some learning, as the functionality is not exactly intuitive. User permissions are somewhat limited. To assign certain permissions, it requires another special user seat (as contributor or admin). Using up one of these user seats is not ideal. The cropping, resizing, and compressing functionality could use some polishing; it's more confusing than it needs to be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously, we stored images on a networked drive, which required us to name each file a certain way. Searching was very slow and tedious. With Canto, I can find images much faster, and everything is organized better. Also, Canto provided a way for us to share assets with individuals outside of our organization. As a result, we have saved a lot of time.
Easy to use and user-friendly design
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, straightforward menu that can help to share our digital designed with clients and parners easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost is a bit higher then average but still acceptable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Canto in a daily based for sharing our designs and ideas with our donors, also parner.
Recently, we are also trying to sharing some instrctuions to the pulich on Canto as well.

Canto has been a very useful tool with wonderful customer service.
What do you like best about the product?
Canot is easy to manage. My team was able to create numerous albums and able to control the access to each accordingly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think my main complaint is that the download button is rather small and required two clicks to download anything. As a designer this adds a step that I don't think is necessary for users that have admin level access, but I can see the benefit for external users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a strugggle to manage large databases of photos and digital assets, and even more complicated when you have a constant stream of people asking for assets. Canto allows users to help themselves which takes a lot off the plates of our photographer and graphic designers. And you can choose the permission levels, so it's easy to currate who has access to which items, and easy to remove items when needed.
Canto is a user friendly marketing tool that makes creating content more efficient.
What do you like best about the product?
I like how clean Canto is and being able to search tags is super convenient
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I feel the interface could be more engaging. I would also like a dedicated section to review past share links
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have thousands of photos of our students and residence halls and having them all in a google drive was far too overwhelming, so having them all in a dedicated data base is so much easier. Its also extremenly helpul to use tags to search for photos.
Pretty good DAM, often new features, sometimes a little clunky
What do you like best about the product?
Canto offers a more organized way to find and organize content
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some limited features and clunky functionalities/interfaces that could be improved.
They also state "no hidden fees" on their website, but placed an unexpected "innovation fee" on our account at time of renewal. After some back and forth, they were willing to remove it, but it was definetly unexpected.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a massive content library so having Canto will allow our team to easily find the content they need, and understand the important info tied to it - such as location of the photo and usage rights.
My experience with Canto so far has been really encouraging and insightful.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the organization that Canto provides for all of our assets. I also appreciate the open lines of communication for when I run into roadblocks.
What do you dislike about the product?
The setup for Canto is a huge time commitment, so there is some upfront heavylifting that is needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing photography assets from professional photoshoots. Being able to search for images is super helpful.
Image Relay's DAM and PIM have completely streamlined our workflow.
What do you like best about the product?
It is so easy to use! You can figure out the system without long tutorials. It's very intuitive, utilizes meta, easy to send assets to people outside your company. I love that our agency partners have access as well and can easily search for images using key words.
The implementation process was great. We had our own Librarian, James, and he was there for us every step of the way. His customer support is awesome. He helped set everything up, answer questions, organize and streamline.
I use Image Relay every day. I couldn't image not having it and trying to organize everything in google drive.

The only thing I dislike is we can't syndicate using Image Relay and need to utilize other tools. I'd love an all in one option.

What do you like best about the product?
Canto is amazing. Once you are working within Canto, it is incredibly easy to use and overall very intuitive. But honestly, my favorite part about Canto? The customer service!! Holy Cow.
