Great for Asset Sharing
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how easy it is for our team and external partners to share assets. In the past, each area of the business had their own way of sharing, and often times, the latest and most up to date assets weren't being used. This allows our team to stay super organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was more flexibility on how folders were displayed. Currently, they're displayed vertically, by date.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The sharing of assets within the organization has been totally optimized. We're the most organized we've ever been in this area.
Customizable DAM
What do you like best about the product?
We use this to offer a DAM to our client. We maintain all of their assets and this allows them to have access to the resources we have organized and optimized for them. One of the features I enjoy is the custom client facing portal that is branded for the specific client, while maintaining a separate branded portal for internal use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be difficult to keep it maintained. That being said, new features like Google Drive sync is making great progress in making this a flawless system. Once all of it is completed, I will never need to upload files to it again as anything I save to the Drive will automatically load into Canto!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Client facing custom interface portals are amazing. Easy to design and allow the end user to see a specific version of their own assets.
Awesome asset management
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to store, sort, and access all of our brand's assets from any internet connection
What do you dislike about the product?
Search bar will periodically auto-fill words that I am not typing, sometimes I am not able to search a certain asset without it auto-completing to something else.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to keep assets up to date and see previous versions is a huge help.This helps us track changes and view our different deign comps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a look at the auto-complete in the search bar
Great Platform to Share Media for Digital Marketers!
What do you like best about the product?
The ability for my company to have a platform where we can share images and videos across different teams. I can use content from other marketing teams within the company in my own marketing campaigns. The search bar function based on keywords is very helpful when looking for specific themes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface could be a little more intuitive. When downloading pictures, there should be an instant download button at the image page instead of having to click through another page. Also a multiple download option for pictures would also be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to share and use different creatives from different marketing teams haven a huge bonus. Instead of having to reach out to the team, everything is in one place for us to easily access and view media.
Canto Enables Self-Service Access to Imagery
What do you like best about the product?
Beautifully visual and easy to use platform, which was vital to serve our internal sales team who are not super technically savvy. Love that you can organize photos into Portals, Albums, and Collections, as well as tag them with important keywords. It gives you multiple ways to browse and search for photos. I also like the ability to choose the file type and size of your image prior to download, so you don't have to edit the size down later in photo editing software. This platform gave us a solution to having a one-touch access point to all of our marketing approved imagery, and had the ability to keep things gated, so that certain images were available to certain teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some technical glitches every now and then. Photos sometimes default as CMYK instead of RGB, causing people who are not aware, to download a CMYK image and the coloring is way off. Another glitch is when you bulk upload, sometimes the prior settings get transferred over to your new batch of downloads, which is inaccurate. I wish there was more capability in sharing or that their account tiers were more flexible on the amount of portals.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having all of our imagery in one place, that is up to date, and easy to see. Keeping images in gated silos that ensure only the right people have access to them. The ability to add legal terms and conditions to outside customers downloading images, which keeps us from being liable from any legal repurcussions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for an easy to use/intuitive one-stop-shop for housing your photography resources, I'd highly recommend it. Specifically, if you need multiple levels of organization and permissions to different assets.
Canto Makes Our Visual Content Lives Easier
What do you like best about the product?
Before Canto we housed all of our visual content (photos, videos, etc.) on a server that was slow to load previews and made it difficult to access. Canto has made our content browsing both faster and more enjoyable.
What do you dislike about the product?
We haven't used Canto for a very long time yet so at the moment nothing comes to mind.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to have wider internal use of our assets and a significantly easier time searching, previewing, and downloading. The ability to also provide links to outside groups as well as the many other tagging and keyword features are improving our processes.
Top Customer Service and Search
What do you like best about the product?
If all your photos are tagged and properly arranged, the search function is very efficient for quick photo identification. The customer service has been extremely patient and helpful during our transition. The ability to include an image in more than one folder without duplicating the file is also extremely beneficial.
What do you dislike about the product?
Moving from one system to another is always a laborious process and I wish Canto had helped more, but it's understandable that we set up our system the way we need it to function.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Photo search and availability, easy to navigate and share with external audiences
Great tool for sharing ideas and files
What do you like best about the product?
Canto provides a tool for sharing files and ideas with team members across several locations.
What do you dislike about the product?
The file organization and search are adequate but could be more robust.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Many marketing teams are able to share files easily, in various file formats. We are working much more efficiently.
Meets our needs to customized sharing
What do you like best about the product?
I like the customized permissions, portals and customized file structure options. The sharing capabilities are key for us as we need to share different information with specific groups.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see better data and reporting for Canto portals. Right now it's hard to differentiate whether the views are coming from a specific portal or the main library.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto solves a problem for us on how to securely store and organize digital assets. We store all of our product imagery, employee headshots, videos, artwork and brand files on Canto and share these with different groups of people both internally and externally.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We're still figuring this out ourselves! :)
Intuitive Digital Assets Management
What do you like best about the product?
Can store any file type, can preview most file types.
What do you dislike about the product?
Slow user interface. Browsing a large set of images is tedious.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Consolidating all approved photographic resources into a easily accessible platform with robust search features.
Requests from outside users have been greatly reduced.
Requests from outside users have been greatly reduced.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good tool for distributing approved content. Not so great for culling a great number of images from photographers.
