Helpful Onboarding and Easy Custom Metadata Tagging
What do you like best about the product?
The onboarding support has been helpful, and I appreciate the suggestions for best practices. It’s also easy to create custom metadata and tag assets in a straightforward way.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some basic user actions still seem to be missing, like a “Deselect All” option. It’s also not very clear how to move assets between albums, instead of only copying them. And while I’m excited about the new look and features, the “switch to new library” messaging should be optional and not sit on the screen all the time. Overall, it still feels very buggy, and it doesn’t stay in the new interface once the Escape key is pressed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have photography from over 150 locations, and Canto is helping us organize those photos and clearly tag each location so everything is easier to find. Also, Canto is allowing us to remove our assets fro SharePoint, which is very unhelpful as a DAM.
Easy to Use, Fast Uploads and Downloads
What do you like best about the product?
It’s very easy to use and navigate, and both uploading and downloading are very fast!
What do you dislike about the product?
Downloading in batches doesn't seem to work well for me, but it might be user issues. Really have no dislikes though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We mainly use it to work among teams and as our archival system, so its been a joy.
Canto Portals Make Content Sharing Effortless
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Canto is the "Portals" feature, which makes sharing our content incredibly simple. Instead of making people dig through messy folders or giving external vendors full access to our system, we can just build a quick, curated collection of files for them.
The UI/UX is clean and straightforward, and the integrations with Adobe Creative Cloud mean our design team never has to waste time jumping between apps to sync their work. It has great performance with zero lag, giving us a massive ROI on saved time. An unexpected bonus is the automatic version control, which guarantees nobody accidentally uses an outdated logo.

What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest downside is the pricing structure and the initial setup time. Canto can get pretty expensive for smaller teams, and some of the cooler features or extra user seats require pricey add-ons. Also, getting everything organized at the beginning takes a lot of manual work. While the AI auto-tagging helps speed things up, we still had to spend a lot of time cleaning up tags manually during onboarding to make sure our search system worked perfectly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We struggled with securely sending large files to outside partners, often relying on email attachments or expiring download links that slowed everyone down.Now, we can instantly share assets securely, which has resulted in faster project turnaround times and a much better experience for our clients.
Super Helpful Adobe Integration That Streamlines Our Workflow
What do you like best about the product?
The adobe integration is super helpful, and helps with the overall workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since it is new, the cost seems high but as we begin to integrate it into our workflow I hope it will be prove to be worth the premium cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Accessing assets rapidly in a high pace environment.
All Our Brand Resources in One Organized, User-Friendly Place
What do you like best about the product?
I like that all of the resources I need for my company's brand can be found in one place. It is organized neatly and is very user friendly. The performance is always good and efficient, and I haven't had any issues in my time using it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The content on Canto is sometimes outdated, making it hard for me to use in my newer projects. I also know some team members have had trouble getting started with the site, though I haven't had that experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto, for me, is solving the problem of needing cross-college content that I don't always have access to or resources to gather myself. It has saved me time when trying to find images and lockups for brand visuals and marketing collateral.
Enhances Metadata Management but Needs Faster PDF Loading
What do you like best about the product?
I like the user interface of Canto and how easy it is to use. If I don't know how to use a feature, I can utilize the FAQ page and Canto Support to help me. The initial setup was a breeze. Canto makes it easier to add enhanced metadata to assets, minimizing the overall time and effort. It also allows our clients to search across their assets seamlessly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The loading time when opening PDFs is quite long, and it would be helpful if that wait time were shortened. AI Smart Tags could be improved because sometimes they aren't super accurate. Also, a bulk rotation tool is desperately needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Canto to make it easier to add enhanced metadata to assets, minimizing time and effort. It allows our clients to search across their assets seamlessly.
Effortless Image Discovery and Simple Uploads
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most is how easy it is to find images, and how simple the image upload process is.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be quite difficult using help. It doesn't always give you the answers you want.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can send a portal link to clients and they can find everything they need without contacting me directly.
Rock-Solid Stability and Easy to Teach Across Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Stability and reliability are key. It's also a system that has been easily teachable to a wide array of users.
What do you dislike about the product?
The reliability and stability do cause a bit of rigidity in use cases, but it would be unfair for me to expect it to be able to do everything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto makes assets accessible not just within our team, but across our organization.
Canto: Easy to Use and Very Useful.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Canto is easy to use. I started about a year ago and I feel comfortable working within. I also love the Canto Academy where I can learn even more.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be buggy at times. The other asset specialist I work with has put in tickets over the past year for a number of things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We work with a high volume of files, so Canto is great at organizing our files in the library and in workspaces. We are looking into integrating Docusign into our Canto, which would be very helpful for our model release forms.
Intuitive Main Library, Easy Search, and Strong Onboarding Support
What do you like best about the product?
Layout when you are in the main library, general intuitiveness of the platform, easy accessability for those who aren't power users, ease of search, and support with onboarding! is that too many things?
What do you dislike about the product?
I think there are some UX features that could be better. I find that when I am working in it things are really good and go really really well until I hit a wall that feels like it should be more simple to overcome. a good example is portals. They are great and easy to set up, but customizing is super hard
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we came to canto because we had an issue where all of our assets were in different places and it was difficult for the wider org outside of our team to access them. Cantos integrations with all of our orignal photo hosting platforms has solved that problem perfectly while providing extra helpful features that we didn't think we needed!
