Big step up!
What do you like best about the product?
Canto is our first DAM for our community college. We previously used Flickr and Google Drive as our asset libraries.
We had lengthy onboarding training which was appreciated. And as I was setting up our library, I appreciated the support team and their quick responses.
We have made heavy use of the custom metadata fields to allow us to filter down assets when looking for something in particular. While it is time intensive to tag the assets from over the last decade as we put them into the library, the payoff is when we are searching the assets.
There is an AI search available that uses natural language to search your assets, but that is an additional cost and we have not enabled this feature at this time.
There is an SSO option as well that is also an additional cost that we have chosen to not use at this time.
We use the public portal option to share photos with our community and appreciate that the assets are not searchable on the internet, but accessible by anyone with the link to the portal. We also utilize a private portal where we have allowed an outside agency to create accounts as consumer (free) users and give them access to additional assets than what we have in our public portal.
We have also utilized the Style Guide feature to share with our community members, which was previously a PDF. We added in links to templates in Canto and can update the guide easily.

What do you dislike about the product?
The additional costs for features like SSO and AI search are a downside.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Canto asset library allows us to store all of our assets in one place and make them searchable with tags, metadata and caption files. Previously we used Flickr, Google Drive and a shared drive to store and find assets, which was getting difficult to manage. Videos were not tagged and new employees didn't know what we had other than by looking at a file name and watching through the entire video clip. Canto has helped us save time when developing ads by cutting down on our time spent searching and reviewing assets.
Solid System
What do you like best about the product?
Canto is a pretty decent content management system. The tagging and facial recognition features are very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Organization is a little clunky, and the platform itself feels a touch dated, but overall you can accomplish everything you need to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mass storage of content with external access; tagging
Canto Has Elevated Our Design and Asset Management to New Heights
What do you like best about the product?
We’ve been incredibly impressed with Canto since I first discovered it at the ATL Digital Summit last year. It’s taken our design and storage capabilities to the next level and made it possible to standardize marketing materials across all our affiliates.
The transition was smooth, thanks to a highly supportive rep. The AI-powered search is a huge time-saver, and our graphic designer finally has the flexibility to organize assets in a way that works for her. Overall, Canto is helping us strengthen and streamline our marketing efforts. Highly recommend!

What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not quite sure what to write here. Sorry!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto has solved a major challenge for us: having a single, centralized location for all our marketing assets that’s also accessible to each of our affiliates. Before, we were constantly sending links and re-sharing files. Now, each affiliate can directly access what they need—without compromising how we organize or control those assets. The platform lets us keep everything in one place while still segmenting content in a way that makes sense for our team and theirs. It’s streamlined our workflow and significantly improved consistency across the board.
Transformative DAM Experience That Elevated Our Enterprise Approach
What do you like best about the product?
Our DAM platform has completely changed the way we think about asset management—as a strategic enterprise tool, not just a storage system. Search is lightning-fast, and having such a proactive, knowledgeable Customer Success Manager has made all the difference. We recently added the AI Visual Search feature which has greatly enhanced our creative department's search capabilities and workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
We’d love to see more robust reporting features, especially the ability to build custom reports, to take things even further.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our DAM has solved major business challenges—providing a single source of truth, eliminating version confusion, and improving brand consistency. It’s made sharing assets with clients seamless and has enhanced collaboration.
