Time Saver!
What do you like best about the product?
Canto has saved me countless hours. I am keeping up on keeping detailed tags, so I knew I will be able to locate that file easily for years. It takes the stress out of trying to remember where things were put.
What do you dislike about the product?
The functionality is a little hard to get used to. It took a learning curve to get used to how the files were organized but it wasn't too hard to get used to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The business benefits to this is saving me so much time. Instead of searching on a server for hours for a file from three years ago, I am able to locate it immediately and move on with my work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Has already saved me countless hours!! Instead of searching the a non-searchable server for hours, I can immediately search and find exactly what I need. Where time is money, it is tremendous help to a business.

There is a bit of a learning curve, tagging structure is time consuming and still slightly flawed.

Faithful Canto/Flight User
What do you like best about the product?
Organizational structure; visual system; customer support
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much really... very useful tool. No complaints.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ease of use and accessibility for non-power users; very intuitive
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Provide feedback often. Canto listens to their clients to further develop and improve on the software/platform and add features that users ask for.
Canto is where it's at!
What do you like best about the product?
The best things about it are the storage, navigation, as well as the organization of the items you need stashed away and easy access for. I have certain assets or documents that I have to separate from one another and then I share those links to certain vendors or clients. I am a huge fan of the collections option. Collections allows me to store certin files in one area and share them (repeatedly) to many of our vendors to constantly keep asking for files or images. I really like to use the links for the collections so that I can send them to clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
For now, I have not found something that I dislike. I really enjoy this platform! If I were to be picky, I would say that sometimes it is slow while loading all of our imagery. However, we do have a combination of TIF, JPG, PNG files that are pretty large. This could be the reason for the delay?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto allows me to create links to assets/policies, or anything I have stored and shared them to group or individuals very easily. Lastly, Canto is where I store my guidelines and brand assets for our teams to easily access and share.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Maybe I would like to see a compression option included in the area where you can resize, crop, and then download images.
Solid DAM
What do you like best about the product?
Canto has a great interface, both on the front and back end. Looks super polished on the consumer-facing side, and the backend uploading process is pretty straightforward and easy to use. Also is a great value as a mid-tier priced program with upper-tier functionality. Great customer service.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cold storage aspect is a nice feature, but it takes a really long time to retrieve an item if you actually need it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto lets us distribute images and resources to our dealers and reps quickly and easily. It streamlines the process for them and for us internally, saving hours of serach, edit and email time. It also allows us to keep our image library up to date very easily.
Great Data Asset Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
The easy of use of this product is awesome. There isn't a significant learning curve to getting things set up. The most time spent is on uploading and cataloging assets which has to be done on any platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is a minor complaint but I would like to see a preference or setting feature that allows the admin to extend / shorten the amount of time that a user can stay logged in without getting logged out from the system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing assets across departments / vendors. This platform virtually eliminates requests for assets. It makes everyone more self sufficient.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We use Canto to manage most of our digital assets. It is a great timesaver. Having all our corporate assets in one place at my finger tips makes my projects flow much more smoothly.
I no longer have to chase people down for what I need. Also, now that we have Canto, most stake holders in the company have access to our digital assets. I no longer need to spend time gathering files for others.

A "DAM" good decision! So much better than Dropbox
What do you like best about the product?
The best part about Canto, for us, is the Portals feature. They're perfect for us to provide individual dealers with the authorized assets they need, while keeping our internal non-client ready assets separate. We also love the self registration feature which allows us to control who is able to gain access through an invitation code.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UX is not always intuitive for new users. It's unique from other similar products, so there can be a learning curve for the less savvy. Our customers are less technologically inclined, and don't always understand how to do the basics. it takes some training to catch them up to speed, but afterwards, they're usually able to fend for themselves.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto has really helped our business with the management and dissemination of digital assets. This had long been a pain point for us. I researched a lot of DAMs on the market but couldn't justify most of their pricing. Canto accomplishes what we need at a great value. While the UX can sometimes be a little challenging, I've seen continuous improvement since signing with them, which tells me they're listening and investing in their product.
Canto works
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use and learn. Great training. Inexpensive. Customizable. Dev team willing to add features or workarounds for our specific pain point.
What do you dislike about the product?
No way to fully restrict download permissions on certain file types.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy access for all our employees to view their assets.
