Love it- easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to consolidate all my assets in one place and tag for easy searchability
What do you dislike about the product?
There have been some issues with certain types of files and file sizes not loading
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto is helping us store tons of different brand assets across 5 universities in one place. It's making it easier for vendors to send us things and for PMs to store them. Designers now can access everything in one place.
Great tool; great applications
What do you like best about the product?
Facial recognition and shared work space
What do you dislike about the product?
Needs options for handling duplicates...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping us find digital assets that we need and do not have the human hours to sort through
Canto is a valuable resource for designers.
What do you like best about the product?
Canto is easy to navigate. You can have your own workspace that others isn't viewable to others. You are able to share photos with the client to review, even if they don't have an account. As a graphic designer, it's nice there are Canto plugins for the Adobe productsy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the plugin for Canto in Indesign is glitchy. When updating an asset, sometimes it will revert to a different photo, or you have to remove it and replace it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company takes a lot of photos for headshots, events, stock, etc. and using Canto helps keep these photos organized through albums and folders. Photos have metadata and tags and keywords. It's easy to find photos you are looking for.
Streamlined collateral distribution
What do you like best about the product?
Unique portals allow for easy organization and sharing of relevant assets for all group needs. Users particularly like the related content and collection capabilities from portals.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initial setup using bulk/sync is not ideal for cases where all files are stored within a single source/managed folder structure. It's easier to upload manually versus remove unwanted files that sync.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing the correct version for any piece of marketing collateral to employees, all within a search-friendly dashboard tailored to their content needs.

What do you dislike about the product?
*Canto does not yet have a robust brand management solution - creating a robust Brand Manual/Virtual Book that can be used to communicate to all users brand rules. Will be very convenient if Canto can build on the functionality to match other players in this space - everything will be in 1 single tool!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Multi-team & multi-user access & multi-user-rights options
Ability to have a library of campaign assets but also store brand assets in the same space and manage access between various content types
Single source of assets for our organization with dozens of users and various needs (internal corporate communication, marketing campaigns, brand management, asset storage from our suppliers, etc.)
Ability to store large bulk /volume of data of different formats & various options/tools to help filter/search/find necessary assets

Amazing organizational tool for small businesses!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to control what other users can see. To be able to approve only certain assets for use and to be able to create a portal for internal users to control their access as well. If you are putting a lot of assets into Canto, using the portal for internal users to point them in the right direction is key.
What do you dislike about the product?
We are trying to use Canto to also replace an internal server that we have. I wish there were a few more options with regards to to the folder structure and being able to use it more like Windows Explorer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have 25 years worth of digital assets on a server. They are saved in multiple places depending on who saved them and where that person thought they should be saved. Additonally, we have a Dropbox account where these are all saved and orgaized differently as well. The only way to find what you are looking for is to save it locally so that you can find it again. Having Canto will allow us to have only one instance of an asset and it will be searchable no matter who is looking for it.
Canto has revolutionized asset management for this marketing team
What do you like best about the product?
My asests are finally tagged, organized and accessible to anyone with internet access.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a catchall library for all assets. Currently, Canto requires you to place assets in an album, but I'd like to be able to upload assets without being forced to put them in an album, especially, with AI search features coming on board, albums seem less and less important.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto has allowed me to share our digital assets with everyone on my team, division, organization and external partner.
Why couple together file sharing and some search made for text files
What do you like best about the product?
Search and the ability to only have what is approved available
What do you dislike about the product?
Smart tags not so smart, hoping the AI based search makes it so that is not a problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a single place for people to access the large set of images and controlling that only approved images/videos are used by staff
Smooth Sailing Using Canto So Far
What do you like best about the product?
I love how the integration with InDesign seems to work so smoothly. I travel a lot and can access Canto easily on a plane through the InDesign plug in. I also like how easy it is to get a response back from Canto service managers.
What do you dislike about the product?
The backend custom fields. It's really hard to make edits in the tiny squares and should be able to have a window box open to edit, instead scrolling through is frustrating. Also don't like that things don't automatically alphabetize in every custom field on the back end and front end.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's created a cloud based site for us to store our favorite marketing images to easily use in proposals and marketing materials.
Canto is easy to navigate, easy to learn, has great searchability and integration functionality.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to navigate, customizable to our photo needs, tons of functionality, uploading to canto is quick. Customer support is fantastic. The support team is very responsive and helpful. Implementation was super easy and training was provided to all our users. We use Canto every day.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only dislike is that the sales team is always trying to sell us add on features that we don't need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides us with the storage solution needed for our photo and video needs. It integrates with Adobe Premier so uploading our asset is easy and it takes our tags and keywords from Adobe.
