Jury is still out, like some things and don't like others
What do you like best about the product?
Good customization and search capabilities
What do you dislike about the product?
No way to watch video at higher speeds, annoying to have to download to watch
On mac, the side folder structure truncates on left and can't drag panel to be wider like on PC (bug?)
Share - new vs existing link - you end up with a bunch of links that can get confusing

robust search and customization options, but it's a lot of work to get all the assets tagged and cataloged as needed.
Canto Pros & Cons
What do you like best about the product?
I use Canto for work purposes and I work in grocery advertising. It organizes all our images in one place and I love the inDesign plug in. If you are looking for a certain thing, its good because the setup is very particular. Also, customer service is very fast and helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has its bugs just like any other program.
I have found it hard to find certain images we have uploaded and its a long process to upload one photo. You cannot do it in bulk because then you cannot search for your item. Some keywords I type in do not bring up the proper images.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sometimes it pulls up the wrong image for the wrong file name, but everytime I have reached out to Canto Support they are very fast in responding.
Very user-friendly tool for sharing assets
What do you like best about the product?
This tool is very useful and easy for everyone to navigate. It makes finding images and assets really simple for users. Additionally, it’s very straightforward for admins to manage and upload new files.
The implementation of the tool was a very short process, and our librarian made it really easy for us. Additionally, the customer support has been great.

What do you dislike about the product?
Having additional language options would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Image Relay is our digital asset management tool, and it has made sharing assets with our customers much easier. Everyone can easily find what they need and access it independently.
Canto has helped us finally get organized!
What do you like best about the product?
After years of having assets stored in many different places, Canto has allowed our team to organize everything in one place. It's also been a great tool for collecting photos from our staff in other locations. Being able to import directly into our library, rather than download images from an email and upload to a file storage stystem has been amazing. Canto has helped our team streamline processes, better manage incoming assets.
And a side note, the onboarding and training process was great! Canto has a lot of features and ways to set things up. The team took their time to understand our unique needs and helped us craft a workspace that suited our team.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not necessarily a downside or dislike, but Canto is full of features and there are some our team has not yet implemented. It took some time for our team to adjust to a new system and we have not yet felt ready to roll out access company wide. Outside of that, we haven't run into anything that could be deemed a negative.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto helps us organize our assets in one place. Prior to Canto we had a complex file structure and photos and media assets lived in a whole host of various places. It was difficult to find what you were looking for and easy to forget where something was stored (even if you were the one who put it there!). Rather than scrolling through photo after photo looking for the perfect image for a project, we can simply search for the person or thing we need a photo of and Canto delivers it. It's saved us a great deal of time.
Excellent features with competitive price
What do you like best about the product?
Setup is quick and straightforward. We were able to get basic functionality setup with no issues. Implementation team was quick to respond and assist with the more advanced setup features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Waiting for them to rebuild the Adobe plugin
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a single source for all of our digital assets. Image Relay's tagging allows us to bring in loads of assets and still be able to browse them easily.
Well-designed software for easy asset retrieval
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to find images through both folders and tagging, as well as being able to view search results rather than having to click on idividual items to find what you need.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of customization options for assets once they've been uploaded.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping our team to better organize files for stakeholder use, rather than storing them in a matrixed file structure.
Canto Mania
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to easily drag and drop files to upload. The ease of use on the platform is pretty phenomenal, with little training needed to get going. I use the platform alsmost daily in some form or another. The integrations with Adobe and Canva are gamechangers.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how long it takes for cetain files to upload such as large illustrator files or videos. I also think the entire UX / UI is very outdated and in dire need of a refresh.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto allows our team to have all brand assets and promotional materials in a shared space where everyone can access. It allows us to share assets wiithin our team or outside of it, making workflows and pipelines much smoother.
Canto experience
What do you like best about the product?
I love all the automations they have it is very user friendly and easy and accessible to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
That when you send a upload link to people they cannot download the pictures only view/upload.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a drive where everything is saved and formatted into its files and albums. Easy to find assests.a
Canto not only met our needs but also offers so much more!
What do you like best about the product?
Canto stands out for its ability to streamline digital asset management, offering features like automated file sorting, robust search capabilities, and customizable branding. It also simplifies collaboration and ensures brand consistency by centralizing approved assets in a single location.
What do you dislike about the product?
Canto does have some drawbacks like limited customization options, which restricts flexibility. Maintaining the organizational structure within Canto can be tedious and requires a dedicated administrator to manage effectively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our photo library used to be chaotic, with too many coworkers and outside partners creating their own systems. With Canto, we can organize files efficiently and search by various terms and projects. We can also share photos with partners/consultants and set specific usage parameters, solving problems we didn't even realize we had.
Good for storing images--has some kinks that need to be worked on.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the look and design of Canto. It is convenient and relatively simple to use. Makes sharing and receiving images easier than it was before.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall, Canto is a bit laggy. I can tell the platform is still new and under development. There are some things that aren;t super easy to use or intuitive. Not being able to seatch for images in the thumbnail pop-up. Not being able to change portal URLs after creation, not being able to copy the link for already made upload links easily, and much more makes me think that user experience is not a major priority. I also think it is a ver expensive product and being limited to power seats due to cost makes it feel like the platform isn't super worth it. I also think that we didnt figure out a lot of the issues and kinks of the platform until we paid and signed for it, and that we were overpromised what the platform could actually do to get us to get it. The onboarding didn't teach us much at all and now I kind of feel like we're on our own fully and aren't maximizing what we paid for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a cumbersome process of uploading and sharing images in our job and this is helping make that process easier and quicker.
