Canto is a scam. All businesses should avoid!
What do you like best about the product?
Nothing. Everything in Canto is difficult to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Everything is a nightmare. Even our professional graphic designer never could use it for our team. We immediately asked to cancel Canto but Canto refused and even after one year, they still keep sending us invoices and never responded to our emails to cancel this scam
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nothing. Canto doesn't solve any problem. The company is a scam.
You will find more uses for Canto than you think.
What do you like best about the product?
Canto provides fast, easy, searchable digital assets that are easy to update as products change. We use it to provide content for customer websites and sales materials, without having to check if the content is up to date by doing very simple version updates. We also like that we can apply several different types of search options for customers, websites and internal users.
What do you dislike about the product?
We really haven't found any downsides to Canto. We've found we use it for more applications than we initially expected and that will probably continue to grow.
Canto continues to improve and increase the options built into their structure, which allows us to offer more options to our customers.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The most helpful part of Canto for us is that we can direct our own websites and those of our customers to a single source for content. It is easy to maintain and is faster than most of the connections we used previously.
Canto brings digital file sharing to life
What do you like best about the product?
We previously used Google Drive and Dropbox to share key digital files such as logos, common design assets, and photos within my organization. But searching for files via nested folders is a huge challenge, especially when there are thousands of assets to sift through. But with Canto, we can deliver these files seamlessly through well-structured online brand guides and portals. Now our staff can browse through these assets visually or search by keywords, streamlining the experience of finding what they're looking for. Canto has been a huge step forward in making my organization's shared assets more accessible to everyone.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's certainly a learning curve to setting up the portals, as some aspects -- such as customizing the thumbnail for a folder -- are not intuitive. But the support provided in getting your portals up and running is strong, so you don't have to figure it out on your own.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Now that I have my organization's critical digital assets in Canto, it's much easier to manage the complexity of sharing digital assets and keeping track of different versions of files. For instance, we'll be rolling out updated slide templates in the new year, but with Canto, everyone can be assured that the latest versions of our shared assets will be readily available.
Image Relay is super easy to work with!
What do you like best about the product?
I can access all of our assets wherever there's a wifi connection.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's a lot of work you have to do in the beginning but after that initial work, there's not much I dislike about Image Relay.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having all of our assets in an organized and efficient way has helped to streamline our design process.
A Useful DAM
What do you like best about the product?
It's difficult to find the right digital asset management (DAM) system for storing photos, but Canto makes it easy. It's not overly complicated, it has a good search functionality and you can mark photos DO NOT USE if they should no longer be used in marketing materials.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not really a downside, but the more work you put into Canto, the easier it is to use. For example, take the time to utilize the full tagging functionality to make it easier to search for photos.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a digital marketer, we always need photos to use on social media and in our marketing materials. Canto is the best photo repository I've used in the 10+ years I've been in business. Canto makes it easy to store and search for photos.
Saved me HOURS!!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the smart tagging keyword search. I used to spend hours going through thousands of photos to find one I could use, and now it takes minutes! I wish I knew about this platform years ago.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I will search a general term like "food" and nothing will come up, but then if I put a specific term like "hamburger", pictures will come up. That can get a little hard, but also I know I can adjust how specific returned search results are, so it's really fine. Also the photos are a bit blurry until I download them, which makes it hard to judge picture quality quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The big thing is time - I am so thankful that I can come up with any photos I need within minutes instead of scrolling through thousands of photos like I used to.
Great organizational tool for the team
What do you like best about the product?
We love using Canto because it makes organizing all of our media files easy. We used to outsource a lot of work because we were a very small team and it got overwhelming having to dive into email to find different Google Drives, WeTransfers, Dropboxes, etc. to find the things we needed. We've since grown our team significantly and onboarding them has never been easier as far as assets go. Assets are tagged and filed, making them super easy to find, resize, download, share - you name it. I can also control who sees what and what is saved.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Portals was a little easier to use. There's assets in Folders or Albums that I want retailers to have but rarely all in a particular folder or album. That has prevented us from diving in and setting them up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It saves not only me, but my entire team, an enormous amount of time. I don't have to dig through emails to find assets that should be available at the click of a button.
Everyday Canto User Review
What do you like best about the product?
The intuitive features and easy filtering to find and organize all of our assets. The ability to segment our internal users has helped tremendously and made our process more efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
The detailed scroll-down information view of each individual asset could be more readable. All of the text and options displayed could be organized in a more digestible way visually.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing assets with both internal team members and external users with the ability to create restrictions if needed. Less time is wasted on our previous methods, where we would take time to provide access and permissions, make individual documents shareable, and lose documents altogether.
A fantastic digital asset system!
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite part of Canto is the ability to share what I want with whom I want on a university campus!
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't think of anything I dislike. If there was a way to have unlimited space without fear of moving to cold storage, I guess that would be it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to have all of our digital assets in one place, accessible by our entire team PLUS consumers from our campus has benefitted us in the best way possible.
