Great Site for Image Organization
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is really easy to navigate - the sidebar lists all image folders clearly and then diving into the folders, it is easy to scroll through. We have thousands and thousands of images for our organization and Canto makes it easy to both upload and download.
What do you dislike about the product?
The search function doesn't always work as I want it to. If I am already in a search results page and I try to search for another topic, the system adds the new word to my current search. I need to go back to the main homepage to restart the search.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto is our company's main repository for employee-taken photos. My company rebranded in 2020 and made a mandate that all of the photos we use in our presentations be original photos from our employees and so Canto became a main platform for both uploading and searching/downloading photos.
Great experience with Canto!

We haven't discovered much we don't lie about it.

Empowering Our Brand and Customers with Canto
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Canto is its ability to simplify and centralize how we manage and share digital assets. The permission-based structure gives us full control over who sees what, which is especially valuable when working with both our internal sales team and a wide range of customers. It’s easy to upload, organize, and distribute content, and the user-friendly interface means everyone—from staff to customers—can quickly find the assets they need. This level of accessibility and control has made a big impact on our efficiency and brand consistency.
What do you dislike about the product?
While our overall experience with Canto has been very positive, one area with room for improvement is the search functionality. At times, it can take some trial and error to find the exact asset you're looking for, especially if the tags or naming conventions aren’t consistent. Enhancements to search filters or more intuitive AI-driven suggestions would make the platform even more efficient. That said, with proper setup and organization, this challenge can be minimized.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto is solving the challenge of organizing, managing, and distributing a large volume of digital assets across multiple audiences. Before Canto, it was time-consuming to fulfill individual requests for marketing materials or product images often requiring customized responses for each customer or sales team member.
Now, with Canto’s permission-based sharing and organized asset libraries, everyone can quickly access the most current, brand-approved content on their own. This has saved me countless hours previously spent tracking down files, reformatting assets, or responding to one-off requests. It allows me to focus more on strategic marketing efforts while giving our team and customers the tools they need to succeed, instantly. Canto not only increases efficiency but also ensures brand consistency and a better overall experience for everyone involved.

Overall a good digital asset management system, although the facial recognition can be a bit picky.
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to use and the features are clear and well-organized. There are many settings that you can change to customize things to your liking. Canto provides a great number of portal for sharing assets online. Customer service and support, when needed, has been timely and helpful. Overall, I would say that this is a solid digital asset management system.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have a few issues with the facial recognition. Because we are using it in an archival setting, we upload a lot of older assets from our collections (late 1800s and early 1900s). The recognition does not work well on these photos. Also, if the initial recognition photo was not great, you'll find that you must contact customer service to have them remove this initial photo. I wish there was a way to fix this on my own without having to contact support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can search across multiple types of assets in one go. It also allows for a good workflow between different departments (sharing assets).
Canto has enabled us to quickly and securely share the materials needed to promote our products
What do you like best about the product?
The access for the distributors / clients with personalized access for each of them that is secure and never expires.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside is the limited customization of portals — more flexibility would help make them feel unique to each company.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Avoid duplication of assets and how to share them with distributors/clients
Canto is a helpful tool but often duplicated
What do you like best about the product?
Canto has some useful attributes, such as the photo sharelink and photo tags
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't love the aesthetic, and it's easy to duplicate work with Google Photos Drive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A helpful database to store our photos
Great platform for storing and organizing our sizable photo library
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to quickly search for what I need by using the search and filter functionality. I love that all our photos are organized and categorized for what makes sense for our institution. I also love the InDesign integration! Makes desiging pieces so much easier to be able to search within the design platform!
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be slow to load. We have also had issues with syncing our large folders from Box into Canto.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having all of the photos available to everyone on campus so they can search and find what they need without reaching out to us. Saves us time and gives them the benefit of ownership and flexibility.
From Chaos to Canto
What do you like best about the product?
Before Canto, our photos and other digital assets were strewn about different folders and platforms. Now, with Canto, they're all in one place. The ability to search for exactly what you need has freed up our time and made us more effective in what we do!
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a barrier to entry with Canto and you have to learn a lot before being comfortable using it. But once you get the hang of it, it's great!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to easily locate assets.
Great DAM that scales with your team!
What do you like best about the product?
Canto has transformed how our marketing team manages, shares, and organizes digital assets. As a growing organization with multiple campaigns and contributors, we needed a solution that could handle a wide volume of images, videos, and branded content—Canto delivered exactly that.
The interface is clean and intuitive, making it easy for both tech-savvy users and less technical teammates to navigate. Uploading, tagging, and categorizing assets is quick and efficient, and the powerful search functionality helps us locate what we need in seconds. I especially appreciate the version control and permissions features, which reduce errors and keep our assets consistent across channels.
Canto also makes it simple to share content externally with customizable portals, which is a huge time-saver when working with partners, press, or other departments. Integration with tools like Adobe Creative Cloud and Slack has made our workflow more seamless and collaborative.
Support is responsive and helpful whenever we’ve had questions or needed onboarding help, and ongoing updates continue to improve the platform.
If your team is drowning in a mess of scattered assets or struggling with outdated file servers, Canto is absolutely worth the investment.

What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile experience with Canto can be clunky when in the field. It does not mirror the desktop experience. This would not deter me from recommending Canto for DAM, but it is notable. Additionally, the initial setup takes a bit of planning to structure your folders properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Canto for interal DAM, external sharing with clients, and project information management. Searching is fast and filtering helps with our robust image library. The sharing and user permissions are helpful both internally, and externally with clients. We appreciate the integrations and easy-to-use interface.
