Continued Success with Canto
What do you like best about the product?
All-encompassing features allow for easy upload of photos and graphics for continued use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasional lagging when uploading many photos at once or reviewing many photos.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have not had to rely on a regular server to house all images and graphics as we can now use Canto as our storing management system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try!
Great Software That Increases Productivity
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the ease of use. Our company stores nearly 10,000 videos on Canto and the use of tags and albums makes content searches very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times there seems to be some system glitches that cause the platform to run slowly and decrease download speeds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved a lot of organizational problems. As well as use between many different users.
Easy to use!
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to create a sharable link and be able to download, crop and resize images within the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the search function doesn't work as well so I just have to go to each respective folder
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing and organizing files are great benefits. It just makes it so streamlined
Overall, would recommend
What do you like best about the product?
Out of all the DAMs I looked into, Canto has the best search functionality which is why we ended up going with it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Load times are pretty slow (especially for video). Another thing I dislike about Canto is you are really nickeled and dimed for admin seats. Only "power users" can upload content on their own which means that all other users' functionality is really limited. My company was limited to 10 included admin seats which really isn't enough for us, but adding more seats is not cheap.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team was looking to organize our digital media...Canto has really helped that, especially during WFH.
Stable Internet Connection but Slow Download Speed
What do you like best about the product?
Im curious why a ZIP Folder link has to be emailed instead of downloading straight from the browser? All other cloud storage/ digital asset management software allows users to download with one click providing they have permission to access to the assets they're trying to download.
What do you dislike about the product?
1. It took 40 minutes to download 133mb ZIP folder :( Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive have all the same features, if not more, with quicker performance.
2. If a non user is sent a link to a folder owned by an Image Relay user, there is no option to download the entire folder at once. This makes it hard for your users to share "THEIR" files with non users. Other asset management tools have much more flexibility in this regard.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my experience, more problems were created.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's being used by the whole organization. Not only does our home office use it internally, we also provide the access to our franchisees so they can look up marketing materials that best address their needs. It's most convenient when it comes to different marketing campaigns since all the items could be categorized and sorted by folders.
Easy to use and implement
What do you like best about the product?
Canto is user-friendly, and as we've onboarded more users, they have been able to get up to speed and start using the tool very quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
We are aware that we are not using Canto to it's fullest capacity, and while some of that is due to the face that we have not been able to allocate the time and resources we'd like to the tool, any technological improvements to enable more precise auto-tagging would certainly help us to better utilize the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto replaced a shared drive that was only accessible in our physical office or via VPN, so as we have all gone digital in the time of COVID, Canto has MUCH improved our ability to share documents, particularly photos.
So glad we moved our photos to the cloud with canto!
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of access and searching by keyword.
What do you dislike about the product?
The share tool is a little hard to use..
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With all of us working from home for the past 7 months, it has been great to have all of our photos accessible in one place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great value for the price
Outstanding platform for digital assets!
What do you like best about the product?
User-friendly! Our customers are all over the globe and we are able to provide with them customizable marketing collateral for their business on a platform that they can easily access and understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
The product was out of our budget. We vetted many other platforms and ultimately determined Canto was the best fit for our customers and the investment would help us in the long run.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our customer base includes individuals from across the globe. Canto's user-friendly platform makes it easy to navigate for those that speak multiple languages. The upload/download speeds never miss a beat, even considering we have hundreds of thousands of users. Our customers love accessing our content in one reliable place and customize as they go.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The team was able to customize the platform to our needs. Take advantage of that option!
Easy and intuitive, overall great experience!
What do you like best about the product?
The system is great looking, very intuitive and easy to navigate
What do you dislike about the product?
The simplicity can lead to user error, such as adding too many similar tags, but that is more a nitpick on the user's organization than the system itself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This system allows us to share our Marketing Materials with the franchise branches of the company with ease, and allows for easy removal so that when a document becomes obsolete, the franchisees are not using out of date marketing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Extremely easy to use and great for sharing, if you have a company with a lot of people it's a wonderful resource!
