Great DAM System
What do you like best about the product?
We love using Canto to help organize our files so that our teams knows where to find every asset easily and fast. We also utilize the portals to share assets externally with clients and have gotten great feedback.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not too many dislikes other than how some of the settings are configured. For example, to add a new category to the tagging process, you have to first go into settings instead of just being able to add it on the fly. Small things like that just make it less efficient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a place where we can easily house all of our assets, and our team can always find assets. It is keeping us organized, saving us time locating files, and creating a nice place to share files externally as well.
Good program for organizing, but needs to be streamlined
What do you like best about the product?
The features like tagging, sections, and captions for each asset is super helpful for finding existing images. I also like that there is a portal for partners to access a curated link of assets.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is not user friendly and has a quite a bit of a learning curve. It can definitely be improved with a simpler back end and more intuitive formatting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto is solving the problem of wasting time looking for that sepcific image needed because you cannot filter things easily on a computer folder with things like tags, metadata, etc.
Love Canto! Easy to organize my photos and ID people.
What do you like best about the product?
The facial recognition feature is very helpful!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Canto had an image search feature & an easier way to add an image to folders without so many steps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto easily provides a space where I can share folders of images with other people in our organization.
Easy, reliable and accessible to use at any time or place.

Small buffers with poor internet quality.

Effective DAM for large company bridging the gap between creative execution and final storage point
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is user-friendly, aesthetically pleasing and very beneficial for end-users. One of the best on the market for The tracking of assets is a huge plus and share links make large files easy to traffic. The new integrations are promising yet we have not fully utilized them yet. The ability to create templates for Admin users will greatly benefit our small, in-house design team. The IR team is amazing - their librarians are super knowledgable and their other team members are timely with communication and friendly. They also invest in their product and have scaled their offerings significantly over the years - it's a lot more than just a DAM.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be clunky at times. Still working out kinks in new integrations but am hopeful of bug fixes. Admin seat totals are limiting for large organizations and workarounds like Upload Links create discrepancies in the file structure. Like any DAM, proper setup and training on the front end are crucial to the success of the library as it can be difficult to adjust after. Collections could be more beneficial if included similar folder structures to the actual library. Also additional tracking would give this DAM super-human strength. If plan to store a bunch of B-roll or raw video footage, expect to often reach your monthly bandwidth max.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Large file sharing. Packaging up of final files on a large campaign for c-suite review gives our presentations a high-end feel. Easy access to brand assets for a company of over 34,000 employees. Tracking on purchased photography.

IR helps us punch above our weight!
What do you like best about the product?
We are a small, but growing company. We don't have the luxury of an advertising and marketing department. We need to be able to quickly get what we need with the confidence that we've grabbed the right information in the right format for the intended audience. Always on the fly, Image Relay gives us that boost - the extra set of hands - by keeping our world powerfully organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
Image Relay keeps evolving and so my gripes keep becoming obsolete.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scattered. Poor quality. Competing information. Reinventing the wheel constantly. Image Relay has centralized all things about our products in one place - the definitive source. No more searching, no more hectic make-shift because you had to meet a deadline and couldn't lay your hands on what you needed - click, click and done. Your vendor/partner/customer gets exactly what they need in a beautifully professional package. And you get to move on to the next fire knowing you've slam-dunked at least that one problem.
Priceless resource for Growing Specialty Food Company
What do you like best about the product?
Creating order from chaos. Peace of mind that our assets are stored safely, protected from unwanted editing and infinitely sharable with our partners. All the information is in one safe place that is easily accessible by whoever we determine needs it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not taken the time to fully understand the various user roles and permissions. As we invite a designer to access the library, I am not always sure which permissions they need. I might have said that the help resources are underdeveloped, but the in-person/online access to help is amazing. If the online help doesn't answer my questions, my IR rep does!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Dropbox or Google Drive for our digital assets has created a vulnerability that has wasted time and money. Files get moved, altered or lost in a way that leaves our people scrambling. We don't have the resources to dedicate to in-house management and protection of these assets. As a successful business, we need to be able to share and control key assets like our logos and product images. Image Relay does this for us and presents an organized, immensely useful face to our customers and vendor partners. It reflects well on us that we are not willing to waste their time with attachments, and other problematic documents and/or confusing information management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Image Relay has allowed our lean team to function efficiently with our marketing partners and vendors. Having a centralized, protected resource for all things related to our products has ended the countless mistakes of going just a little too fast with just a little too much chaos.
User Friendly Asset Management
What do you like best about the product?
Canto is very easy to use and is a great resource for our company and the partners we work with.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the user interface isn't as intuitive as I'd like it to be. But, I can always figure it out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Canto to organize all of our digital assets and make them easily available to our partner markets around the world. This simplifies the process for our global partners to get the assets they need quickly.
