Corporate Organization
What do you like best about the product?
I like the customizability of the software, alongside an understandable system structure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Whenever I open up an image and scroll to the bottom of the information on the right-hand side of the screen, it always automatically pops open the full screen information view which is a pain to have to close every time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Searching and organizing specific projects and client materials.
The best DAM I've found - and I've demoed A LOT
What do you like best about the product?
The AI video search feature is my favorite feature, but I also love how we were able to connct to our Sharepoint site and easily transfer assets over. Implementation was amazing - having a dedicated implementation person walk us through the entire platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
This isn't even a good "dislike" but our storage is limite to 2 TB (THAT IS STILL A LOT OF STORAGE) and we had the option to purchase additional, but we wanted to start out with 2TB and see where we got.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a lot of great assets (photo and video) that don't get used often enough because we didn't have a DAM with a great search feature. Insert Canto: We're now easily able to find specific looks we are wanting without having to dig through Sharepoint photos that weren't tagged appropriately
UI/UX needs improvement
What do you like best about the product?
It does what DAM system should do as the simplest way.
What do you dislike about the product?
Backend setting for different roles are not as easy as it could be.
There are lots of good features but those are not easy to use so we tend to not use most of them.
Our creative team use them everyday but utilize only 10-20% of what Canto can do.

Ease of finding what you're looking for
What do you dislike about the product?
You need to put some serious thought into how you want YOUR organization to work and spend the time to sort and tag existing items into a new structure. So a bit of a lift up front.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
How to store and share digital assets within the organziation and without.
Everything We Need in One Place
What do you like best about the product?
As a small- to medium-sized business, we wanted a tool that could easily be implemented and accessible to our customers and vendor partners. Canto checked those boxes and some. In the 1.5 years of using Canto, it has become an integral part of our business operations. Plus they provide 1 on 1 customer support from a live representative.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that we would like is easier synchronization of our product images to our website. Not sure if this is even a standard use or service provided by DAMs, but if it was that would just save us a step.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prior to using Canto, we housed all of our product images on an external, private website we created. It required frequent updates on our end, and our customers could only download the files as they were. This resulted in hundreds of requests for specific file types, transparent images, and custom image requests. Since implementing Canto, our customers now have an up-to-date location to see all our available assets and download them in a format that best meets their needs, saving our graphic design team at least 15 hours of work each month and allowing them to focus on the more important projects that help drive our business forward.
Instrumental platform for photo library
What do you like best about the product?
Canto has been an incredibly useful tool for our organization in managing decades’ worth of programmatic photos. The built-in tools for organizing and managing assets have been essential to our workflow.
One feature I especially appreciate is the ability to create upload links for specific albums. This has been a huge help when collecting assets from contractors and staff.
Another standout feature is the option to build custom portals for our assets. They’re easy to set up, allow for organized album structures, and let us add text boxes to provide context. Being able to share a single portal link—rather than multiple individual album links—makes content sharing much more streamlined.
Canto is used regularly by our content creators and continues to be our go-to platform for managing and sharing assets.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are a couple of features I’m not especially fond of, mostly related to metadata fields. While it’s helpful to be able to create specific data points, there doesn’t seem to be a way to organize them into grouped sets—so all metadata fields appear in one long, unstructured list, which can be a bit much.
The only other thing I’m not a fan of is the limited customization in the portals. Aside from the landing page, there aren’t many options for customizing subpages. It would be great if some of the features available on the main portal page could also be applied to those subpages.
That said, these are fairly minor issues and don’t impact daily use.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto was a solution to an outdated photo management platform we were using that was not streamlined for the mass amounts of photos we were needing to manage and access on a regular basis. The benefit of Canto is having a place where we can easily upload, maintain and share assets easily.

Exceed Expectations
What do you like best about the product?

Some things, such as integration and creating portals, are not the easiest to graspo.

Canto Review
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to store our media online and share it with other staff and external groups.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to download multiple files at a time and organizing folders/albums aren't the most intuitive.

It's helping us solve where to store all of our digital assets securely online rather than locally, and the ease of accessing these assets.
