Easiest product for passing along assets I have ever used.
What do you like best about the product?
Allows tags, easy to use, seemless user integration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Yet to find a single thing that is wrong with this program.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Large image assets need to be passed along to others and the storage limits prevent this.
Administrator who learned, revamped and built upload processes in Canto for 2023.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the amount of data that can be captured and that items are easily customizable for my area of the business. I was quickly able to learn the program and apply the changes needed to get out assets sorted properly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was more of a consumer facing option built in to the process. I learned recently that this is possible, but feel that the library should only be visible on the backend and the "consumer" experience should be simplified as the standard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto organizes our event photography during weekend-long events. An on-site editor uploads imagery on-site, tags and sorts. We have a database of imagery for the entire organization.
Top-of-the-line digital asset management tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Canto makes it so easy to upload, organize, and find digital assets for our marketing communications department. Canto has become our go-to resource for storing, organizing, and maintaining a library of images and videos for our marketing needs that can be easily accessed and managed from anywhere at any time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly can't think of any downsides to Canto. It would be nice if our freelance talent could use the software, but that is an organizational decision, not a reflection on Canto.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto gives our marketing department a resource that is simple to use and organizes our vast library of digital assets with limitless storage capabilities and easy access for all employees whether working in the office, remotely, or at a conference or event.
User friendly, easy to navigate, work simplifying tool.
What do you like best about the product?
The best feature for me is being able to duplicate items in different folders and them automatically updating when one item is updated. Saves you so much time and hassle having to not worry as much about version control.
What do you dislike about the product?
Thumbnails having to be replaced when new material has been uploaded
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto is solving the issue of having all our content being in one place that is easy to share with clients. It also solves the issue of version control as with our previous method this required people to archive items and let to confusion about what version was the most current.
Canto: Feature-Rich but Slowed by Performance Issues
What do you like best about the product?
1) User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX):
I appreciate Canto's user-friendly interface which showcases a modern, clean design, making it easy to navigate. The layout is intuitive, allowing for quick access to frequently used tools. Customizable portals for different user groups are really helpful.
2) Functionality and Features:
Canto shines with its powerful search functionality that allows me to swiftly locate assets using filters and tags. The preview feature that lets me view assets without needing to download them first is incredibly convenient for quick checks and reviews.

What do you dislike about the product?
While Canto has many strengths, I've encountered some challenges with its performance speed. I've noticed that the system can be quite slow, especially when uploading or accessing larger files. This can be frustrating when working against tight deadlines as it sometimes hangs without loading, disrupting the workflow. Additionally, I find that during peak usage times, the response time further decreases, which suggests that the platform's current infrastructure may not be fully optimized for high traffic or heavy data loads. These performance issues are the main downside I've experienced with Canto, and they can detract from the efficiency and user satisfaction that the system otherwise provides.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto is solving several key problems related to digital asset management. Here's how it benefits us, particularly focusing on asset storage:
1) Centralization of Assets: Canto serves as a single source of truth for all digital assets, which means less time is spent searching for files across different platforms or storage solutions. This centralization has been a significant efficiency booster.
2) Access Control: With Canto, managing who has access to what assets is streamlined, enhancing security and ensuring that only authorized personnel can view or edit sensitive files.
3) Organization: The tagging and categorization features in Canto help keep assets organized. This means faster retrieval times and less duplication of work, as it's easier to find and repurpose existing assets.
4) Version Control: Canto’s version control capabilities ensure that the latest versions of assets are always at hand, reducing the risk of errors associated with using outdated files.
5) Collaboration: By allowing multiple users to access and work with assets simultaneously, Canto facilitates better collaboration within teams, even when members are working remotely.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes have issues with Wordpress connectivity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Large amounts of photos for work every week that need to be accesible to several colleagues at one time. Great way for everyone to be kept in the loop and have the option to search using tags.
Canto takes the DAM cake!

Life is more efficient with Canto
What do you like best about the product?
What we really love is the ease of use. I use Canto daily to find and share assets both internally and externally. We recently went through a re-implementation to clean up and organize our structure and simplify our process. The support we received from our implementation specialist was invaluable and helped us get even more value from the product. We even discovered several features we are now using to increase our efficiency.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't currently see any downsides to using Canto. With the volume of work we do, having the ability to leverage our digital assets quickly makes life better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We add 50-100 assets to our library every month. After many years of using Canto, we now have several hundred thousand assets in the system. When we need an asset for a project we can easily find and know the status of an image quickly and easily. Canto saves us time every day.
Changed the way we store content
What do you like best about the product?
Canto has been easy to set up and roll out in our business. We have a lot of content so it took a while to get it all in, but it's enabled us to create APIs to share our content with partners and use portals to share it with our clients.
Our business can now easily find where

The Canto Experience
What do you like best about the product?
Canto has become an everyday use for us as we use canto to archive and categorize all of our assest having the connect plug in to us on all of our editing tools has been a game changer and one of the main reasons why we keep using and engaging with the team at canto to help us use the tool the best way possible.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing that I think can be improve is the aesthetic look of the share folder as we share images with clients through canto it would be great to create a custom gallery from a share link.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
canto is making it easier for our teamt to share assest faster on a global scale while retaining the original files quality when downloaded.
