Great for asset being contributed from many places and storage of them.
What do you like best about the product?
Assets are accessible by those who need to be dealing with them. Assets, which include photography, video, presentation, and branding, can be added by everyone within our organization. Being able to have contributions in an organized, secure, and fast way has allowed us to utilize that material for reaching our target audience with general ease and directness. Through having all our data assets in one place we have been able to communicate our brand in mission within our organization effectively and consistently. This has also allowed for us to reference the same file without wondering who has the most recently edited content.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is sometimes difficult to navigate through out the various sections of the software. Integrating with presentation software has not been seamless. When I want to save as a asset to reopen and edit is not real easy on the go. When I first started using Canto my account was mistakenly crossed with another brand page, which made it difficult to get to the content that was relevant to me, that seems to have disappeared since.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously asset storage was in many different places and was shared using many different platforms, but now it is shared through one software making it incredibly easy to access and use for our business material. This has meant that providing the products and material that we need for our audience is actually being met because we can access the material fast and easy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Evaluate how important it is to be able to access and use assets in a easy manner. If having files stored in one place with access anywhere and the ability to get them added to your database from anywhere is what you want this is very useful. This will give you a good look as to whether Canto is going to be able to meet your needs.
Canto helps our whole team get more done
What do you like best about the product?
Canto provides a way to organize and find photos. We have leveraged the templating system to save significant time in designing, printing and shpping hundreds of banners each year. Canto's public portal provide great ways to distribute photos to staff and non staff.
What do you dislike about the product?
As the photo portals get larger, they start to become less easy to navigate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Photo finding time has been reduced from hours to about a 30 mins. No more looking through 100s of folders to find photos. The tamplating system has saved the equalivent of severl full time staff's work each year.
Mind-blowing digital assets management
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use. UI is well built. Canto team is always available to help if difficulties. AI for tagging is really effective
What do you dislike about the product?
API can be hard to use if you don't have an expert development team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto is a great tool to manage all our assets in the company. The graphic team uses it to organize and store all our images which were a mess before Canto. Our RD department uses it to share all documentation between our different teams and our customer. Instead of having our images located to multiple locations, having it stored into a Dam is a big win for our company! On the downside, the API usage is kinda hard to make it work correctly. Unless you have a dedicated expert development team, it can be hard to use.
Overall we are very happy with the software and experience. The support team is really helpful and care about their customers.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Any companies that want to have a better organization of their files should consider using Canto. It helps in so many ways and will enhance your work. Our company had so many assets we could not use them properly. I have no bad comments about Canto except their API libraries.
Canto
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is clear but concise, the yellow call to action really helps as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
the downside, is that some of the icons at the top seem a little unfamiliar and so you tend to not want to click them, maybe it's the design or maybe they aren't clear enough.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it helps with finding and sharing documents and images faster
Great bang for your buck.
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy-to-use and offers a ton of features such as different sharing capabilities, granular search functions, and drop and drop version control. You can easily bulk add tags and meta data which is key to our file organization and upload process. The also uses a folder system that we can easily upload packaging artwork files to. The price is great too and is cheaper than any of the other bigger DAM solutions available.
What do you dislike about the product?
The folder / album system takes a little getting used to. I would like the ability to share a folder via a link too. The Canto connector into our project management tool, inMotion account never seemed to work quite right either
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
File storage, file sharing, and version control. Offers a ton more features and also allows to host us downloaded files for our multiple websites that can be easily updated across multiple sites
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for something intuitive and simple with tons of features choose Canto!
Canto
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it was to catalog and tag images. I also liked how easy it was for people outside our orginization to send us photos.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not like that its did not accept text files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A very messy photo library.
I'm continuing to learn Canto and so far it has been very useful.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that we are able to create links to share our assets and then update those assets without having to create and upload a new entry. This makes it so much easier to keep track of the latest versions.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that my company is slowly learning the software vs. getting it thoughtfully set up from the get-go. I feel like we are missing a lot of the functionality that will continue to keep us organized.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the ability to keep the latest version updates in one spot. We don't have the full company on here and are still split between here and our "HUB", but being able to link to Canto has made it infinitely easier to keep our "HUB" updated with the latest without having to update in two places.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend spending time digging into the software and being really thoughtful about keywords and tags. I was not an admin when ours was being set up and it still feels light. I know there is a lot more that Canto can offer if we were to sit down and continue to dig and populate.
Finally an Easy Way to Store, Share, and Organize Assets!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to search for our assets. We had no asset management system before Canto, so using it is a breath of fresh air. We are very intentional about how we tag and describe our content (mainly photos and videos) so they're easy to look up in the future.
I also really appreciate the customer service. The team is easy to reach out to and are quick to respond to our needs!

What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to say as they are continually improving and fixing bugs that come up for us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Canto for saving space with our photos and videos, helping with organization and searching for assets, and document control. It is also great with sharing large documents with outside groups.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Double-check how much space you need and how many people will be using the software. From there slowly build up the content before deploying companywide.
Fun time conclude with plenty of proposals
What do you like best about the product?
I consider pixel Relay extremely easy navigation and to use. You can upload the photos in larger quantities, attach keywords to facilitate the search and organization of the pictures in boxes. You may connect users as well, and offer them various permissions rates. A few of of yours favourite games has been able to produce "photo collections" and then share out the collection. It allows you the freedom to upload certain images and have someone open them without allowing them to vote through your whole archive.
What do you dislike about the product?
This would be good if HTML files could be visualized directly inside Image Relay, you actually have to import them to display them correctly. Occasionally loading takes a little longer, but I think that depends on how many files and sizes certain files are within the server.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing and saving images from all of our locations across the globe is an simple way to. It has aided our visualization team to work effectively with our graphic designers and marketing team. Both of them are both on the same level and have links to all of the files. We had limited access before we begins employing pixel switch and not all of it was in one centralized spot. In the end, our imaging team is on the point!
Canto makes daily tasks easy!
What do you like best about the product?
Canto makes uploading files and sharing them with others easy. Plus, finding files quickly thanks to the use of keywords and tags is an awesome feature! Folders and albums keep everything organized so even if you don't want to search for a specific file but want to see everything you have for a certain subject, it isn't hard at all to find. The uploading process is easy and it is super quick to upload multiple files at once. It walks you through adding a file title and keywords and tags so that once you upload the file, you don't have to go back and do those things at a later time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Folders and albums can be confusing at first but once you used it daily, it is so helpful to be able to keep everything organized easily. Keywords and tags also need to be added when you upload so it is easier to find things later down the road.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I never realized how much time I wasted every day searching for files and having to download them to be able to share them until I started using Canto and didn't have to do those things. Thanks to keywords and tags, searching is a breeze! And sharing files with other straight from Canto saves much time. Not to mention, viewing files straight in Canto and not having to download them saves time and makes it more efficient.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Canto is well worth it! Especially compared to Google Drive and Dropbox, this is a wonderful product for file storage and sharing. I definitely encourage you to make sure you are signed up for Canto emails so you can receive their tips and stay in-the-know with Canto.
