Canto so far has been very user friendly for consumers
What do you like best about the product?
The tree organization and ability to key in meta data info. Implementation has been great for our users, and customer support was very helpful with importing users and doing a town hall meeting for our franchisees.
What do you dislike about the product?
Back-end navigation isn't as intuitive as I hoped.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing digital asset access to 100+ franchisees for our company.
Canto is the solution we've been looking for!
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is intuitive and easy to use. The functionality is exactly what it needs to be...simple and not overly complicated. Canto has been the ideal solution for our firm.
What do you dislike about the product?
The functionality of the folder versus the album took some getting used to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto is a central location for all of our digital and brand assets. It allows team members who are not designers to access and easily find the collateral our marketing team creates.
Easy to Use and Great for Keeping Our Team Organized
What do you like best about the product?
Canto is super easy to use and makes it simple to keep all our photos, videos, and graphics in one place. The search and filter tools are really helpful, and I love how we can tag things and create Smart Albums to keep everything organized. The portals are a nice touch too—we can easily share assets with journalists without sending a bunch of emails.
What do you dislike about the product?
Bulk editing metadata can be a bit clunky. Analytics are a bit basic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing our assets into one place! Saving many hours searching different drives to locate an asset.
AD /inhouse creative
What do you like best about the product?
I like how through canto we are able to reach our customers with portals and oodles of product information, promos, and product images, as well as working within our systems and coordination with the B2B part of our business.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dont think I can speak to the limitations, I'm not that technical. I'd say loading information can sometimes be a challenge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
coordinating image library with b2b and customer access to product info
Very impressed so far
What do you like best about the product?
The thoroughness of onboarding is amazing. I feel very confident that my team is being fully briefed on everything Canto has to offer and that support will be there whenever we need it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our sales rep was a little difficult to get ahold of.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are an agency that handles 15 internal brands and we just so many business assets
Exceptional DAM with Seamless Integration
What do you like best about the product?
I use Canto as our digital asset management system, and it has been a huge upgrade for how we organize, manage, and share marketing and sales assets — both internally and with external partners. Compared to our previous platform (Brandfolder), Canto has been significantly better in terms of cost, functionality, and overall customer experience. The initial setup process was thorough, well-guided, and easy to follow, which made onboarding smooth. I’ve already recommended Canto to outside partners and would absolutely continue to do so!
What do you dislike about the product?
There's quite a few tools I don't use, perhaps explaining how they can benefit my work would improve how often I use them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Canto to organize and share marketing and sales assets easily. It simplifies finding assets with AI search and tagging, and I love creating media kits quickly. The clean interface, customer support, and integrations enhance the overall experience.
Great Platform with an amazing support team!
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy how easy it is to use, how responsive the support team is, all of the integrations with the other apps we use, and the ability to have multiple customized portals. We are also very excited about the introduction of the PIM system.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that there was a way to save updated files directly back to the DAM without having to reuplod them and put all of the keywords and tags back in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is giving us one location to have all of our files available to our team members as well as outside distributors and sales reps.
Easy to Use, Great Solution
What do you like best about the product?
Canto is very intuitive and easy to use, the onboarding process was smooth, and it's a great way to store our assets and share them easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more ways to organize files inside albums other than by date added.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having assets that meet multiple criteria, it's nice to be able to upload the file one time on Canto but have multiple tags on it so you could find it for a variety of uses. Previously, we stored everything on a server and there were so many different folders, and if an asset was applicable to more than one folder, it would live in more than one place, or it would be hard to find. Canto makes it easy to find what we're looking for and only having one file is nice for maintenance.
Powerful tool that speeds up design workflow
What do you like best about the product?
Organizing and managing our large catalog of images is made infinitely easier with Canto. We're utilizing the tools on a daily basis to review and organize images as well as placing them directly in to our design production workflows.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have struggled to implement Canto image reviews and other client-side usages, such as for the distribution of final artwork, brand assets, and other valuable tools for our clients.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing, tagging and filtering images in Canto is an extreme benefit to us. We also have alleviated a lot of storage and server speed issues on our internal network by utilizing Canto's cloud storage. Finally, integrating in to our Adobe design workflows helps designers create more efficiently.
Still loving Canto, nearly a year in.
What do you like best about the product?
My absolute favorite thing about Canto is the facial recognition. Trying to find lots of photos of a particular person in our old DAM was excruciating because my predecessors never tagged people. So I would have to try and guess what events they might of attended. Now, something that might have taken me one to two hours in our old DAM takes me less than a minute in Canto. I only have to identify the person once, and I can find every single image of them. The facial recognition is top notch. I haven't had any false positives yet.
The search is also much more robust. Someone sent me a screenshot of a picture from our old DAM, and asked if I could help her find the original. It was a drawing of a face, so I just typed in, "face drawing" in Canto and found it immediately. It would have been a nightmare to find it before without the file name.
The Canto platform is very intuitive, and we have been able to implement it seamlessly with our current processes. Our implementation manager has been stellar to work with. She has vast knowledge to draw from in supporting customers, and that has made things so much easier for us.
There are a couple of us who need to use Canto incredibly frequently, and it is actually fun to use compared to our last platform. I was telling a friend about Canto, and she said, "A look of pure joy just crossed your face." That seems accurate. Canto has made our work easier in so many ways!
UPDATE: Now that I have been using Canto for nearly a year, I want to say that I still love it just as much as I did when we first got it. The other power. user of Canto on my team left last summer, so I am in charge of making sure everything gets uploaded and correctly identified. But even now that it is a one-person job, I find it so much more user friendly and easier in Canto. I still want to go back and correct as much pre-Canto photo information as I can, but future me is going to have a much easier time accessing the photos and details they need.
It is easy to get support when I need it, but I honestly don't need it that often.

What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, it is hard to think of any downsides. We had a glitch with a couple of duplicate folders during the migration, and that was basically it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Finding assets is so much easier in Canto. It's easier to have things in multiple albums without duplicate images. It is saving us so much time and effort. It also makes it very easy to make the DAM more usable for future users.
