Canto is exceptional at what it does
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy Canto makes it to share and distribute albums to my clients. A process that used to take me hours, now only takes me a few minutes once my photographer delivers the pictures.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because it's web based, when you're looking at an album that is particularly loaded with content, it takes a while for it to load and the animation that happens when pictures load can be quite...repetitive. Those are small small nit picky issues I have with it though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Two of the main things I'm solving are as follow:
1. The ability to share photos of events with my clients has drastically improved. For instance, I usually have clients that ask for photos from certain events that have recently passed. My old method was to just start searching for their faces in our [very organized] public drive on our system. Now, with features like auto face recognition, tagging, keywords, etc. I have a little thinking I need to do ahead, but canto really makes it easy to find everything I'm looking for at the touch of a button, put those images in a folder, and send to clients in a private link. It's incredible.
2. In a similar vain, I often have to send corporate partners documentation at the end of the year of all their events. This is a process I don't want to spend too much time on and happens only once a year. If I just keep everything tagged cleanly [and canto having the ability to add sponsors to events let's me be super clean], it's a very simple pull at the end of a season to send to my clients in a professional manner.

Just give it a chance. The team at Canto is patient and always listening.
User-Friendly, Shareable, Accessible to Everyone
What do you like best about the product?
One of the main things we like about Canto is the ability to tag, share, and organize all of our digital assets in a user-friendly interface. this product is easy to use and one of the best features is the keyword and tag search usability. the integration took a bit of time because we had a large database of files to tag and upload, but now the organization of said assets is systemized and clearly defined going forward.
What do you dislike about the product?
Integration took a bit of time because of the tagging and organization that needed to be done. this is one of the important parts but also something that was not 100% clarified. there are multiple places where the same information can be entered so we wonder if there might be a little bit of overlap or redundancy in this regard. Overall, this was all worth it to ensure our assets were properly tagged and searchable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of the larger issues we solved by moving to Canto is the siloed assets that lived in different computers, hard drives, and servers. Introducing Canto allowed us to put all these assets under a single system that is clearly designed to be user-friendly and fully functional for the type of uses that we require on a daily basis. from finding assets for projects to creating case studies for meetings. All assets are under one platform and sharable to reps, customers, and homeowners with just a few clicks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a company that relies heavily on having easily accessible digital assets but struggle to find what you need when you need it. Canto Digital Asset Management is probably a good option to look in to. it certainly helped us in our organization and we work with thousands of files that each require dozens of tags.
Great tool for asset management
What do you like best about the product?
It allows multiple units across our entire campus access to a central, searchable repository. I really like that users can have different levels of access as well so even if someone isn't a part of the units on campus that primarily use these assets, they are still accessible to them.
What do you dislike about the product?
I guess the only con I've seen would be that it's all web based and the assets are housed in the cloud. This is mainly a pro because it better protects our assets and makes them easily accessible from anywhere, but it is a bit of a con because it takes a little bit more time to access larger files and your internet connection becomes a variable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our biggest issues are duplication of assets, difficulty finding assets and knowing what assets are all available on campus. This helps solve all of these problems.
Easy to use!
What do you like best about the product?
You can customize nearly everything. Everythin is sorted very guud. The Support is very quick.

The Indesign addon is a litte bit difficult to use sometimes.

What do you dislike about the product?
the only thing I maybe would say I "dislike" is, that Canto isn't self-explaining 100% and that beginners need a introduction, but right after that everything is as easy as for more experienced users :-)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we're sharing our marketing files with Canto all other our different affilliated companies so that everyone can contribute from the various creations, each companie makes
A great replacement for media silo
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to tag ( via import), can mass delete specific file via a CSV file, The little portals that they have for brand guides is also great. The level of control we get over our files is where it needs to be. It was also easy for us to sync our images that were in Google drive to Canto.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like being charged per power user. I would prefer that would be open and charged per storage level (by the GB). No mobile app either.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
allows us to share images across our departments and external resources. We now have granular control over our images and great reporting with canto. as a result, we have been able to remove duplicates and save on storage costs as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the import function for tagging. And reporting to see how your assets are set up.
Dreading going through file folder after file folder to find that one photo?? Look no more!
What do you like best about the product?
Lessening the amount of space used in shared folders and WAY less valuable time spent searching through dozens of folders for photos or videos. Eliminates the use of DropBox or WeTransfer and allows you to share files easily without
What do you dislike about the product?
When typing into the text columns, the text appears white which is very difficult to see
When going through albums and tagging, it often goes all the way to the top of the album after you individually select a photo.
Sometimes the tagging option is not allowed when you have ad blockers installed (works in Incognito mode)

User Friendly, Customizable, Great DAM Solution!
What do you like best about the product?
Canto's user-friendly and intuitive interface makes it easy to get started with little training. The upload process is simple, with tagging and keywords built-in. Administrators have full control and are able to easily customize the system and build appropriate access for users. The customer care team is great - onboarding allowed more than enough time for all questions to be answered.
What do you dislike about the product?
Canto provides only a few user levels, and so there are limits on how you can personalize the access. There is no way to add alt text to the metadata and then carry it with the image into Wordpress. Overall, Canto has so many features, these are minimal issues. Login security is tight, maybe too tight - one mistyped password and you'll have to wait 30 minutes to access your account.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto is allowing our team to take images from several systems folders, and websites, and combine them into one central, searchable, filterable directory. When fully implemented, Canto will provide hours saved through efficiency!

Sign up for a trial and test it as many features as possible!
