Greta Platform
What do you like best about the product?
I love the layout of Image Relay it is simple, easy, and convenient to use and navigate through. This is also a great tool for managers to use who are over entry level positions, as it is super easy to teach and very practical.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes if there are a lot of files, if not maed coreectly with the proper naming convention, sometimes content can get lost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing content easily across all departments who have access.
Excellent Photo reference platform
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to use and download photos for my presentations.
What do you dislike about the product?
I cannot identify any negative aspects of my experience up to this point.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It keeps all our photos in one place for our products and shows.
Image Relay makes our life a lot easier.
What do you like best about the product?
I've used a few different DAM systems, and Image Relay seems to have combined the best aspects of them into one package - it's easy to bulk upload photos, keyword them on the way in or once they're in the system, quickly search for assets, and deal with various user permissions (loading getting users up to speed). We haven't used it yet, but the AI tagging is intriguing. Overall, it's been an adaptable system that has removed many of the frustrations we've previously encountered dealing with a large number of digital assets.
What do you dislike about the product?
No real downsides. Perhaps AI will eventually flag photos that are "aesthetically challenged" or out of style.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a large collection of digital assets that used to be almost impossible to manage. Image relay has allowed us to turn that complex task into something that's enjoyable to use.
Great tool for a brand to share with agencies, vendors, and sister companies
What do you like best about the product?
easy to use, intuitive content library and great to share large files and images to others
What do you dislike about the product?
better search function for files in folders

1. compiles all content images in one place
2. easily share all content files with others
3. search and look up old content

Highly Recommend
What do you like best about the product?
Image Relay is a very robust media management platform that helps us house all of our assets (photos, videos, documents, design files) in one place. It's an intuitive interface which enables us to stay organized and easily distribute any type of media with just a few clicks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initially, it takes a bit of effort to upload, organize and tag your media, but it's worth it in order to fully maximize the system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It enables better storage, organization and distribution of our digital assets.
Great solution for team asset organization!
What do you like best about the product?
Canto is a very user-friendly platform. Our team grew quickly and we needed a place for everyone to be able to access our digital assets. We were able to implement this fast and get our files organized. Now we have a central place to go when we are looking for items for projects. It was probably the easiest integration we had in our team processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the search and share function is confusing. Some of the search depends on how we have it set up. Also setting the nomenclature of the different file capabilities (portals, folders, etc.) is a little cumbersome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Canto, we would have folders upon folders of assets in places on our drive. Some of those would be outdated, and unless you had been with the company for some time, you wouldn't know that. Canto has been a great place to make sure we have the useable files at our fingertips. It also makes it easy to share those files with users outside of our team.
A good platform for storage.
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use of Canto is really the leading factor in why we chose it for our digital asset management platform. Once assets are in and correctly tagged, finding, sharing, and using them in other applications is relatively easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
As alluded to in my previous comment, if you have all the tags and metadata in your content, it's relatively easy to find everything. Getting to that point with relatively few contributor-level users is challenging when you have a massive backlog of content without adequate tagging. The automated tagging from Amazon is somewhat generic and not as useful as we had hoped.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We went into our search for a DAM looking for a way to protect our IP and enable an easier contractor workflow. For the most part, this has been a success. There are still some issues with how folks use the tool and how the data are organized. However, it is a vast improvement over our prior distributed storage situation.
Can be like a jungle to find things somettimes
What do you like best about the product?
The tag feature when searching. I was able to find everything very easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
How easy it is for files to become disorganized, making you unable to find the things you need when you need them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As someone who manages digital ads, it makes my life easy when I set the ads up, and am able to grab the images or video I need.
Our company's solution to working with bulk assets, team projects and quick organisation
What do you like best about the product?
By keeping all of our company's assets on Canto we have been able to streamline our asset collection as a team and keep tabs on what we have collated. By having everything in one place we have sped up our ability to source assets that support a variety of projects, with an ability to create easily shared folders with external stakeholders.
When we've had issues we've also been able to reach out to Canto support quite easily.

What do you dislike about the product?
As I write we still haven't heard of/ made use of any integration features. As we work with Wordpress the dream would be to have a direct link between the platforms so we don't have a part of the process that sees us uploading assets and then having to download it again for use.
I find that little crashes (especially in the upload stage directly on the desktop) are so commonplace that it's treated as part of the process. An example that is "accepted as part of the process" is when editing to an image finishes, the completion wheel keeps on spinning unless the page is refreshed - the edit always happens, but this is not immediately obvious.
Also there have been some complaints from the wider team that their upload link doesn't work.
Currently we also do not have the ability to provide temporary access to freelancers, which would be a great add.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously we didn't have the ability to do quick searches of our existing assets, causing a lot of headache and a great deal of time wasted as we had external PR requests, projects that came up that drew upon existing assets and lots of assets getting lost. Now we know to use Canto as the go-to place to update and keep track of our digital assets.
A Superior Photo and Video Repository
What do you like best about the product?
I love the Smart Search feature. It is highly skilled in searching for very specific things within the imagery, allowing me to find just what I am looking for, whether it is tagged or not.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a way to link our rights approval documents and model realeases to a file.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a great way for our organization to keep all of our photos and video in one place, allow for access to multiple partners, share out links, and allow partners to upload new content.
