Naming Convention
What do you like best about the product?
I'm able to pull photos from Photoshop, and Illustrator quickly with the Canto Connector
What do you dislike about the product?
When searching, if don't have the naming convention perfect you can't find things, For example, if the file name is in all caps and the search is lowercase or initial cap, you can't find the file and visa versa
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
None that I know of
Best DAM system
What do you like best about the product?
Canto is easy to search, easy to load assets to, and it makes sharing files simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it was easier for Admins to edit some of the licensing and usage fields.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's so much easier to track and manage our materials and assets. It's also far more user-friendly than the other systems we've used.
Roundtable6 - Canto
What do you like best about the product?
Metadata tagging. I like that I have complete control over what SEO terms both the client and internally we can use to find a specific project or asset. I also love the portal capabilities and how we can customize how each portal will look for each client.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far the only things that's happened with using Canto that I wish was addressed, was I wish there was a way to go to the activity panel and select what user(s) I want to review. Since we have a lot of power seats and external users in Canto, I wish I could see a report on what users were doing inside the portal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest would have to be that we now have an easy-to-use hosting site for our clients to access all the projects, campaigns and individual assets we've created for them over the years
Game changer for our company
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to put in a lot of information in batch uploads so that all assets are easy to find. Also being able to make multiple portals for our retail partners who require different assets is a game changer!
What do you dislike about the product?
The main library isnt aesthetically pleasing and sometimes when you crop and download it distorts the image.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main issue was keeping our assets as organized as possible and making it easy for anyone on our team to find what they are looking for in an efficientt manner.
Use canto for photo catalouging
What do you like best about the product?
The tagging option. I like that I can tag by themes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Searchability is not as functional as some other programs I've used. It would also be great if you can search the rights. I know we can tag them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping all our photos in one place with tagging by themes.
Canto has been a vital resource for organizing and accessing our large amount of content.
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to organize and find content, the ability to utilize batch actions for large groups of content, and the ability to share content securely with outside resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a lot of features that are unnecessary for our purposes and at times it can be tedious to wade through all of them to find the features that we need. This is most evident for us in the portal creation; it's a bit confusing and quite a process to set up all of the portal features and I'm still not certain how all of them function.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a very high volume of content that needs to be organized and easily accessible. In the past, it has been difficult to find and access content and Canto has provided a system for organization, access, and safely sharing content that has met our needs effectively.
Great support and good product.
What do you like best about the product?
I use Canto daily and I love that I can create a link for a variety of files from all different folders and subfolders. That is very helpful when I am sharing our creative content with others.
What do you dislike about the product?
It isn't quite as user-friendly as I would like. I like a software that I can poke around and teach myself how to use it. I find myself having to search for answers, on occasion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a wide range of stakeholders who need access to our files. We have remote employees, customers, sales reps, publications, and others with whom we need to share our photography and sales tools. Canto is a great resource to store our content and to easily share it with those who need it.
Canto is a powerful DAM but comes with a hefty price and is complex to set up and manage.
What do you like best about the product?
Cant has great sharing tools, and the interface is clean and straightforward. Facial recognition is a huge time saver for tagging images. In our trials, it outperformed the competitors on all the features we needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
The most challenging part of Canto has been setting it up in a way that works for our workflow, small team and limited resources. The high cost of adding additional storage space has forced us to compromise on how much we can use it. We also have had several technical issues with DNG files not downloading correctly, which took several months to fix. We also had some problems with the Google Drive integration not syncing correctly, and we should have been advised to set it up differently from the beginning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto helps us spend less staff time assisting clients in finding the assets they need so we can focus that time on creating high-quality content. We also love all the sharing features in Canto that allow us to quickly select and share assets for collaborating on projects.
A cornerstone for our design work
What do you like best about the product?
Accessibility. Files are easy to store, locate, and share.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not experienced a downside as of yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's giving us a place to house creative content to share with clients. This allows for more streamlined communication and work with clients.
Canto is a great resource for teams
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is for our team to quickly and easily find the digital assets that they need, to allow for greater efficiency across the board.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's definitely an investment, especially for small organizations like ours.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our assets were incredibly difficult to categorize and search. Now, just about anybody on our team can find what they're looking for with very little training!
