Good, needs some tweaks
What do you like best about the product?
It's good for organizing and locating our library of images for various email and social media campaigns. Our team uses it every day!
What do you dislike about the product?
The search function could be improved so it's not case-sensitive and required less precise search terms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us to keep our image and video library organized and accessible to our various retailers.
Canto filled a need and offers much more!
What do you like best about the product?
We had used several products that had moved indirections that made them impossible to use for what our company needed. Plus, having several co-workers all participating in projects plus outside people we worked with our needs were large and sometimes roadblocking. When we found Canto it was a great relief. They spent much time explaining how they could help with 'our needs'. We have been on Canto for more than 6 years and are still learning new ways it contributes to our projects and other work.
What do you dislike about the product?
I ould not call this unhelpful since Canto is always available to help. But we have not taken the time to use all the parts of Canto that would be useful to our projects. Need more time!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our photo library had become very difficult to use with too many co-workers setting different files and organization plus outside consultants having libraries of our photography. With Canto, we can set up files and then search by many different terms and projects. Plus, we can share withoutside consultants and companies and set parameters on how they can use the photos, how long, and more. It has answered problems that I did not even realize we needed.
Generally pretty darn good
What do you like best about the product?
Easy-to-use folder and album structure. Creating a share link and adding images to it is very convenient for sharer and user. Metadata tags are customizable to a high degree. Uploads and file transfers are simple, and downloads are too. Facial recognition is incredible!!! Nearly impossible to stump.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lots of little UI glitches which create irritation and slows down usage. Transferring uploaded files to an album seems to be really slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Much easier to catalog, keyword and find images than with our previous DAM. Far more efficient with our large volume of assets.
A wonderful feature packed asset management platform
What do you like best about the product?
It is a great system for keeping a large library that is accessible throughout a large or small origination. It makes keeping assets organized and easily searchable. The face detection has high accuracy and makes searching for individuals in the library quite simple. I really enjoy the Adobe Connector plugin as it is very convenient to have your library directly inside of your software which is time saving step for me and my team. It was very simple to get up and going vs the internal system we had used in the past. I work with this system daily as I am the only photographer for our organization. Canto is always there if you have any questions and they walked me though how to use the system to get up and going quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Though I understand the system is completive with similar software, the pricing is quite high, and the extra AI features they offer come at a hefty cost as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto helps keep us organized and allows us to access our 42,000 photos and our brand assets at the click of a button. We also have department photo stewards that are able to access our assets in order to ensure we have quality representing our organization.

What do you like best about the product?
Cool tech, I do like the way it work to simplify files and categorizing for users
What do you dislike about the product?
not real helpful in establishing the system . its not intuitive unless your a tech guy. Took 2 months and im still not up
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
consolidating all assets and mass contributing assets
Mostly positive experience
What do you like best about the product?
Coming from Brandfolder, Canto has it beat in terms of customization control and the ability to preview assets visually in a unique way. The bulk metadata feature works great for what we do. We enjoy the slider tools for filtering media by length. We haven't used the Visual AI feature but it looks promising and would be ideal as a default option in the plan, making this platform more enticing for new teams and migrating users from other DAMs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Search UI needs real improvement. The tools to narrow down your global searches are hidden in a small menu in the corner *after* the search bar and are not obvious to our users how they work. Adoption is everything in this game when building a DAM for a company, so making it very clear how to search (and clear searches in a way that just works) is essential, and lacking in this case.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We appreciate the instant visual information Canto provides. Files that were stuck on hard drives or cloud drives suddenly have new life. As a marketing team, being able to see the assets in multiple ways creates opportunities to find things quickly, rather than hunting through folders.
It’s a solid DAM system.
What do you like best about the product?
Canto is a solid DAM system. It manages digital assets well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The platform and design feel dated. The lack of customizing external facing sites for clients is a letdown.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It gives us a place to store digital assets that we share amongst our company and with clients.
Canto - USA Pulses replaces current DAM with a more powerful CANTO system
What do you like best about the product?
We had an exsisting system - we loved it, but the system was blocked by US government office. In searching for a replacement, CANTO passed that test. We now realize the facial recognition is going to be super helpful for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is not as well designed. And our past system created a system alert for recently pending status assets. That is missing in Canto.

Easy to use, organizational tool for asset management!
What do you like best about the product?
We use Canto for managing digital assets for several clients and love the ease of use, organization and how we can collaborate. The feature to share is frequently used!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish we could add more admins but it comes with an additional cost. But by no means a deal breaker.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto allows us to easily organize photoshoot images that will be used in digital assets. The tagging and folders features allows us to better organize images by department, most frequently used, mark any as "do not use", etc. We can then quickly go back and search by the tags, creating efficiencies in the way we manage assets.
A great platform to house all your content in one place.
What do you like best about the product?
My experience with this platform has been nothing but positive. One of my favorite features in Canto is how easy it is to manage file updates. I can simply replace an existing file without needing to delete or reupload anything, and all the previous versions are stored in the version history for easy reference. This makes asset management incredibly efficient. It’s intuitive and saves me a lot of time when uploading and sorting content.
As a creative designer using Canto daily, I rely on it heavily throughout my workflow. It’s a dependable resource I constantly reference while developing new materials. On top of that, the customer support team is always quick to respond and very helpful whenever I need assistance. Canto is extremely user friendly, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone managing a large volume of digital assets across teams or departments.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only area of Canto that I find slightly inconvenient is the need to create albums within folders, rather than being able to drop files directly into a folder. That said, I understand this structure supports better organization, so I wouldn't necessarily change it. Another thing that would be helpful is when you delete files if you are able to just delete a version versus the whole item.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto has made a big impact by helping our team stay aligned with the most up-to-date content. It's easy to track when assets were uploaded or last updated, which reduces confusion and the risk of using outdated materials. The recent addition of their AI search tool has also made it much easier to locate specific assets quickly. Another benefit is how much storage space it saves on my computer. Since everything is stored in Canto, I can simply download what I need for a project and remove it afterward, knowing I can always access it again when needed.
