Team Consistency and Sharing
What do you like best about the product?
As the graphic designer for my team I always want them to have the most up to date templates and graphics from me. Canto allows this to happen with ease. I can easily update files and my team can easily find what they need.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the searching features don't work as fully as I need them to. It will go to one album with the keyword I searched, but there are multiple albums and folders with that keyword that I also need to look through.
I also try to narrow down the search to just Images or Graphics after searching a keyword, but then it erases the keyword..

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ease of sharing large files to other users
Solid solution for digital asset management
What do you like best about the product?
We've been using Canto for around 8 years. It has evolved over the years to provide more features and we rely heavy on the facial recognition technology. We are always amazed at how it will spot a blurry face in a sea of people! It also seems quick to access files and provides a lot of options for organization and sharing. Ever member of our marketing team uses it daily.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is pricey, but probably in line with other solutions (haven't priced anything in some time). I wish there was a way to publish a small slideshow so we don't need to move files to another platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having an easy way to share photos when our department gets requests and giving users across our organization instant access to assets is fantastic.
Game Changer
What do you like best about the product?
Canto has revolutionized how my team provides our assets. It enables the entire organization to view what we create and utilize those assets to their fullest potential. Managing thousands of items is a challenging task, but with Canto, it finally became achievable. The flexibility in how the end user can find assets - be it AI search, search, folders, tags, etc. is a true game changer.
What do you dislike about the product?
A couple things I would like to see further developed would be the flexibility of the design/layout of the portal pages and the ability to do drafts with templates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto is solving several key challenges for us by acting as a comprehensive DAM platform. It allows us to streamline processes, minimize repetitive tasks, and centralize collaboration, especially with our external agency partners. By creating a user-centered single source of brand truth, Canto enhances brand management, making it more efficient, collaborative, and far-reaching. This centralized approach not only empowers everyone in the organization with easy access to brand assets and knowledge but also ensures more consistent representation of our brand across all markets. This consistency is crucial for strengthening our brand presence and recognition.
Canto is a great service for filing but it is very time consuming to use effectively.
What do you like best about the product?
You can add all of your assets to one place, anyone can access it. You can send links to different users for content. You can alfo integrate different apps (e.g. Adobe and Figma).
What do you dislike about the product?
Needing to tag every asset for easy filing and it is time consuming to set up what you need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Version control of the different assets - with the many different changes we have with assets, we are able to go back to what we have done previously as references.
Excellent product!
What do you like best about the product?
Canto has been a great way for us to catalog our photos, current and older. We find the facial recognition aspect of the software to be a game changer - especially with our older photos, it's been excellent to have this feature automatically identify who is in photos and to then be able to easily search for them
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost is very high for this product, and once you start using it you are kind of at the mercy of the company to pay whatever they charge you.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Photo cataloguing - it saves us time by helping us to keep track of our very large catalogue of photos
Excellent product for end user and admins
What do you like best about the product?
I love the keyword and tagging structure Canto uses. Their custom fields make it easy to keep content organized year after year. The onboarding experience has also been excellent, and the system has been easy to navigate and learn.
What do you dislike about the product?
Truly, we have yet to find a downside to Canto. The price was daunting coming from using a very inexpensive SmugMug account, but the product is well worth it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a PK-12 school and we were using several Smug Mug accounts to manage and store our photos. We had separate accounts to manage privacy and access across our teams. This allows us to hide what we need to, share publicly when we need to, and manage our users in an effective and secure way.
Love it- easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to consolidate all my assets in one place and tag for easy searchability
What do you dislike about the product?
There have been some issues with certain types of files and file sizes not loading
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto is helping us store tons of different brand assets across 5 universities in one place. It's making it easier for vendors to send us things and for PMs to store them. Designers now can access everything in one place.
Great tool; great applications
What do you like best about the product?
Facial recognition and shared work space
What do you dislike about the product?
Needs options for handling duplicates...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping us find digital assets that we need and do not have the human hours to sort through
Canto is a valuable resource for designers.
What do you like best about the product?
Canto is easy to navigate. You can have your own workspace that others isn't viewable to others. You are able to share photos with the client to review, even if they don't have an account. As a graphic designer, it's nice there are Canto plugins for the Adobe productsy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the plugin for Canto in Indesign is glitchy. When updating an asset, sometimes it will revert to a different photo, or you have to remove it and replace it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company takes a lot of photos for headshots, events, stock, etc. and using Canto helps keep these photos organized through albums and folders. Photos have metadata and tags and keywords. It's easy to find photos you are looking for.
