What do you like best about the product?

I really appreciate how Canto has centralized all our files, which used to be scattered across local drives and shared folders. This has made accessing current versions easy and prevented the need to redo work. It makes grabbing the right asset quick and straightforward, allowing me to focus more on design work instead of searching for files. The search functionality is something I rely on heavily; it saves me minutes by letting me find files immediately without having to dig through folders or ask around. Canto has also simplified sharing files with teammates, so I'm no longer re-sending files multiple times a week.

What do you dislike about the product?

Setup is the slow part. Getting the metadata and tagging structure right took some patience, and if you've never touched a DAM before, expect a learning curve. The catch is that it only stays tidy if you tag things properly from day one. Skip that, and keeping it organized later turns into a chore.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Canto organizes my files in one place, saving time and ending version confusion. I easily grab assets, focus on design, and simplify sharing without repeated sending.

What do you like best about the product?

I like its ease of use at the end user level and the structure of how the data is laid out.

What do you dislike about the product?

At this moment, nothing.
The support is sufficient and again, ease of use is perfect.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Canto helps solve the challenge of managing and finding digital assets across multiple teams and storage locations.
It centralizes images, videos, documents, and brand information in one searchable platform, eliminates duplicate content, improves version control, and streamlines collaboration.

What do you like best about the product?

I like that you can create albums and folders and that you can define images with tags, keywords, descriptions, etc.

What do you dislike about the product?

sometimes it is a little difficult to organize images within an album because of the drag and drop system. When you check an image to move it around, it is a little difficult to see the check mark and also if you accidentally check another image at the same time, it is not very noticeable to see the check mark.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

it is a great repository of images and the fact that it can be shared amongst many peers is awsome. Also the fact that there are so many way to control the levels of access and protect images from being used.

What do you like best about the product?

The onboarding support has been helpful, and I appreciate the suggestions for best practices. It’s also easy to create custom metadata and tag assets in a straightforward way.

What do you dislike about the product?

Some basic user actions still seem to be missing, like a “Deselect All” option. It’s also not very clear how to move assets between albums, instead of only copying them. And while I’m excited about the new look and features, the “switch to new library” messaging should be optional and not sit on the screen all the time. Overall, it still feels very buggy, and it doesn’t stay in the new interface once the Escape key is pressed.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have photography from over 150 locations, and Canto is helping us organize those photos and clearly tag each location so everything is easier to find. Also, Canto is allowing us to remove our assets fro SharePoint, which is very unhelpful as a DAM.

What do you like best about the product?

It’s very easy to use and navigate, and both uploading and downloading are very fast!

What do you dislike about the product?

Downloading in batches doesn't seem to work well for me, but it might be user issues. Really have no dislikes though.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We mainly use it to work among teams and as our archival system, so its been a joy.

What do you like best about the product?

What I like best about Canto is the "Portals" feature, which makes sharing our content incredibly simple. Instead of making people dig through messy folders or giving external vendors full access to our system, we can just build a quick, curated collection of files for them.

The UI/UX is clean and straightforward, and the integrations with Adobe Creative Cloud mean our design team never has to waste time jumping between apps to sync their work. It has great performance with zero lag, giving us a massive ROI on saved time. An unexpected bonus is the automatic version control, which guarantees nobody accidentally uses an outdated logo.

What do you dislike about the product?

The biggest downside is the pricing structure and the initial setup time. Canto can get pretty expensive for smaller teams, and some of the cooler features or extra user seats require pricey add-ons. Also, getting everything organized at the beginning takes a lot of manual work. While the AI auto-tagging helps speed things up, we still had to spend a lot of time cleaning up tags manually during onboarding to make sure our search system worked perfectly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We struggled with securely sending large files to outside partners, often relying on email attachments or expiring download links that slowed everyone down.Now, we can instantly share assets securely, which has resulted in faster project turnaround times and a much better experience for our clients.
