Easy to use and many features still yet to be utilized
What do you like best about the product?
The search functionality and facial recognition for tagging of photos.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not many downsides that I have experienced.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Adobe Indesign and the Canto plugin makes it easy to link photos.
Solid & Reliable
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about canto is the reliability. At the end of the day I need a system that is operating and consistent and that is what canto is I do like the way that it's organized and I also really appreciate the brand new AI feature that let you do a visual search. A lot of times guest users for my organization don't know or understand how we've organized our system and having the option for them to do a visual search is really helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am a person who really likes the ability to customize software that I use for my preferences I feel like there are some buttons associated with the user interface that aren't in the most convenient places and often hard to find. I would love to be able to customize my own interface and move buttons around to improve the ease of use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work at a midsize university and we take a lot of photos and we need to keep almost everything that we shoot. It can be extremely difficult keeping yourself organized when you're trying to archive an organize tens of thousands of photos every year. Trying to do this yourself, whether on a local network drive or a simple cloud storage service, can be done if all you're trying to do is keep a copy - but if you need to access your files both internally as a team as well as with your partners across your organization and be able to find what you need quickly then you have to have a robust tool like Canto. We also need the ability to share albums of photos quickly where we only include a specific selection of photos for use and Canto excels at this.
Great tool for Graphic Design
What do you like best about the product?
The Canto Connector for Adobe Plugin, along with the customer support. The plugin has allowed for quick updating of images across multiple users on all of our marketing material. Along with helping channel the right assets to certain teams. The customer support has been great, and helped us integrate the digital asset management system into our current workflow. While also willing to help continue that support a year out.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great if there was an easier way to filter downloads on the reporting end by the metadata of images. Or to pull reports only on certain images, albums, or folders.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing photos and assets for use in marketing and communications throughout our organization.
Canto Has Helped Our Company Get Organized
What do you like best about the product?
We've worked with other Digital Asset Management Systems before and they were to say the least difficult and left a lot to be desired. I feel that Canto has consistently been something that has been easy for everyone in our company to use and implementing Canto into our systems has been easy as well. Whenever we have questions or have recommendations for the platform, I know I have my account manager or customer service easily accessible. I am in Canto every single day and it makes my job easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not a whole lot that I don't like. I think maybe it would be nice to have a better understanding of some features, but I'm sure that's also something that I could get more information from my account manager.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to easily share our assets, but most importantly have a significant amount of organization with the 1000s of assets we have. We've had other digital asset managers that just missed the mark in the ease and ability to organize to our levels.
Canto DAM - the heart of all Digital assets
What do you like best about the product?
The Canto DAM system serves as our central repository for a diverse range of assets. Initially, it was utilized primarily as a media library for managing images, videos, and technical literature. Now, Canto DAM is evolving into the central hub for all assets, integrating seamlessly with other systems such as PIM (Product Information Management), CMS (Content Management System), and Commerce platforms.
Canto DAM supports our composable strategy, allowing for centralized asset management. All assets are maintained within Canto and updates are automatically reflected across all connected systems.

What do you dislike about the product?
The contributor limit is sometimes a pain. Adding more contributors is expensive and requires a renew of the contract.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One place to maintain all assets.
Best DAM Software!
What do you like best about the product?
The organization options of assets, the sharing features, and we love the portals! Such a fantastic way to share specific assets internally and externally.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be helpful to be able to have a selection option for folders/albums in the folder tree without actually opening the folder/album itself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For Brand Asset Management, we're able to share our brand guidelines both internally and externally and monitor access to certain features using the Asset Request feature. For Digital Asset Management, we're able to share a selection of photos either (privately) through a share link or more publicly through a portal. The portals particularly house our best imagery for student recruitment so that internal and external partners can access them.
All Our Digital Assets In One Easy To Use Location
What do you like best about the product?
We primarily use Canto as a digital asset management solution but it also allows our reps to upload project images and share assets with clients easily. We use Canto connect when creating images through Adobe tools or presentations in powerpoint.
What do you dislike about the product?
We use Salesforce for everything, it would save us time if Canto could be integrated with Salesforce. I am aware that there is a Salesforce integration but we have not yet implemented it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have reps all across the US that were constantly reaching out for digital assets or to ask questions on processes. Canto has allowed us to upload and organize all our materials into one portal that we can direct them too. In addition, we have created a flow whereby they upload local project photos that are then searchable by the entire organization when a customer is asking for examples of similar product usage. We also record tutorials on tools and commonly asked quesitons that are then loaded to Canto creating a FAQ section that anyone can access allowing them to be more "self-service" than they have ever been.
Canto has revolutionized our organization of our photos and brand materials.
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the variety of features, accessibility for our staff, and the ease of adding materials and branding into our account.
What do you dislike about the product?
It sometimes has long loading times. It is also buggy at times. It will show me duplicates of files sometimes. I am not sure why.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto is making our photos and digital assets easier to organize and tag, which is making it easier for our staff to access and search for files. It also saves on communication. Staff are able to upload photos with descriptions and tags, giving me all of the info I need for social media and e-newsletter content. The style guide makes all of our brand materials more easily available for staff and external partners.
Lots of features to love
What do you like best about the product?
The search functionality when sifting through assets (particularly photograhy) has made the marketing departments lives exponentially easier. The face recognition feature is also amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
It took us a very long time to transition all of our assets into Canto. It was a lot of legwork and reorganization but it was worth it in the end to have a better structure to store our photography.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It saves us time with the easy search functionality through the tag feature where we can manually enter personalized info and utilize the AI generated ones as well. We no longer have to go through folder after folder to find everything burried within other things.
Makes finding and using digital assets easy!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the auto tag and the upload link features the best. It's also super easy to resize images for use on different platforms (ie Mailchimp, Instagram, Facebook events).
The customer support is also great. Our marketing team uses Canto daily, and we are able to easily get photos from our zookeepers as they use the app and upload directly from their phones.
It's also nice to create collections to share with external vendors and media.

What do you dislike about the product?
Though I love the auto tag feature, it often mislabels things so I have to spend some time undoing that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a small team and don't have time to name files appropriately, so being able to tag photos quickly when uploading makes it super easy to search for the assets we need. It's also helpful to pass on the job of looking for photos to our coworkers so they can just pull images when they want and don't need to go through our team.
