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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sign up for a trial and test it as many features as possible!
Great, Easy Way to Find Non Stock-Like Photos

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for an easy to use software to maintain, share, and store digital assets this is a great option
an outstanding tool
What do you like best about the product?
Canto Support team is always ready to fulfill our improvement requests and customized integrations. Also workspaces are very helpful when you work with your creative agency and you need another step before moving all the new assets into the main library. Value for money.
What do you dislike about the product?
Workflow can be improved and project/campaign tool is still to be properly developed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto is a very helpful tool which helped us to gather all our digital assets into a dedicated platform, ready to be consulted and used at multiple level within our organizations. During our research for a DAM, we went into various platforms, none had an easy user interface ready to use except Canto. Canto Support team is always ready to fulfill our improvement requests and customized integrations. I would also recommend Canto for his value for money, extremely competitive and for the multiple platform integrations such as with Adobe, Office, Sitecore.
Working smarter not harder!
What do you like best about the product?
I love Canto's Facial recognition feature! We have a lot of assets where we need to identify people and facial recognition has changed everything! now we can search for people by name and access every photo asset we have of that person! Game changer! I also love being able to relate files and add custom fields to assets. This has come in so handy when we need to connect people's images to their stories and FOIP information. Canto has really helped us work smarter and not harder to find all of the assets we have in a more dynamic way!
What do you dislike about the product?
We have found the uploading of assets to be a little more work than anticipated. The Canto Connect desktop application is helpful but when initially setting up out canto product it is a lot of work. When you have over 20,000 assets to upload it takes a team of people to make that happen and a good amount of time to get everything uploaded.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to solve the daily problem of asset requests and spending hours searching our files for specific assets. Canto has allowed us to give access to all of our assets to all of our stakeholders and allowed them to find the assets they need. It has empowered our users!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We are just getting started with Canto but LOVE it! We have over 15,000 assets uploaded to our system to-date and have only been using the product since March 1, 2020. Every day we are learning some new functions of Canto and how to better organize and tag our assets to make magic happen! Canto is worth the cost and I'm excited to keep exploring all the functions it has to offer to us and our clients!
