Saving Time and Money
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can save time searching for photos. I don't have to wait until all of the thumbnails on laptop to populate to see my assets. The training on the system has also been very clear and understandable.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I am in my Adobe programs, the images do not shrink down so that I can see the complete image, only a portion of the image unless I click on it to reveal the larger image.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had duplicative assets in different areas -- sharepoint, file folders, with jobs, on individual laptops. Canto enables us to keep all approved assets in one central location. This saves us time and money. We are not purchasing or creating photos that we already have.
Wonderful Resource for our Creative Team
What do you like best about the product?
Canto has brought organization to our huge library of images and files. I love being able to search an item number and see all the assets we have at a glance. It is also amazing how it works within indesign and I use it everyday. Creating shareable links for customers has also been a huge timesaving feature. When we first signed up Canto provided lengthy training and support it was easy to get started using the program and features.
What do you dislike about the product?
The plug in to indesign can be slow, and it doesn't always replace images properly if using the same layout box. Otherwise the only drawback is the images are not accessible while working offline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Customers often need long lists of product images. Canto has been a huge time saver and allows us to send download links within minutes. The organization aspect is also amazing and has made reference photos from years ago super quick and easy.

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.
