Efficient Asset Management with User-Friendly Interface
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate Canto's recent feature update that allows for editable share links. This enhancement significantly saves me time as I frequently share photos through these links with people across my organization who don't have direct access to Canto. I like how organized Canto is, and its search functionality makes it easy for me to find photos quickly. The product's user-friendliness, along with ample storage and excellent organization capabilities, stands out as crucial aspects that would make me choose Canto again. Overall, these features contribute to a seamless and efficient asset management experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that there's no integration with Microsoft Office or the ability to send assets directly to Microsoft Teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find Canto streamlines asset management, with organized storage and search capabilities. The editable share links save me time by facilitating easy sharing across my organization.
Great Search and Access Controls, but Organizing Collections Needs Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to search, make portals, and crate different accessibility levels for all of the teams that need different priorities. Customer support is also very helpful and the calls are nice.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am retroactively cleaning up our Canto setup so the only downside I have found is the organizing tool. It is sometimes difficult to move collections of items from one album directly to another without other steps in between.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating different levels of access that determine how accessible certain assets are for different levels of priority and clearance.
Effortless Sharing, But Folder-Specific Search Needs Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
The feature I like the best is how easy it is to share folders and albums with others. Using Share Links to quickly send photos to others is VERY helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The searching can use some work. My biggest dislike is the inability to search within a folder. Example: we have a folder titled 2025-26 and I can't limit my searches to just within that or the 2024-25 folder. When I search for Teachers / Students etc I am constantly getting results from 2017 etc. The search can also be buggy too and get bogged down. Sometimes I need to shut my browser down then reopen to get it to work. Using low resolution preview files can make it a challenge to know if images are good. When viewing a thumbnail in Canto it may look out of focus but when I download it I can see that it's perfectly fine. My BIGGEST dislike is that during a search you cannot open an image or an album in a new tab. Say I search "Bus Driver" and scroll far down, I see one that looks interesting so I click on it. Then I want to see the album it's in in case there are others. If I want to go back to the search results and continue where I left off I can't, the search page reloads itse'f to the top, that can be aggravating. Another dislike is the Galleries on mobile view. Most people are viewing photos on mobile and the gallery is VERY clunky on phones. If I'm a parent and I get an album with 100 images and I want to quickly scroll through to find my kid it is not the easiest process. It would also be helpful if there was a way to password protect portals. Our workaround is password protecting a folder but it'd be nice to have that for portals too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A cloud-based service to store and search photos
Endless Possibilities with PIM + DAM, But Video Playback Needs Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
The possibilities and use cases are endless, especially when you pair the PIM + DAM. from sales enablement to graphic designer support, Canto and their portals steal the show.
What do you dislike about the product?
That we can not watch videos from the product hub/SKU. Id like to be able to stay on a product page to watch videos about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I no longer need 75 spreadsheets to wrangle product info. i dont have to sift through thousands of images (and their versions) to find the image a designer needs. I can create a central source of truth for data and assets that is easy to maintain, update, and share with relevant parties.
Easy Photo Search, But Learning Curve for Tools
What do you like best about the product?
The search engine makes it very easy to find photos.
What do you dislike about the product?
Learning all of the different tools can be difficult at the start.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is giving our employees the ability to find content on their own and leads to wider range of and better assets used in marketing content.
Efficient Asset Management, Great to use for big companies, Though Pricey Compared to Competitors
What do you like best about the product?
This tool has saved me a lot of time when searching for various marketing photos. The tagging system is especially helpful, keeping everything well-organized and easy to locate. I also find it very useful for sharing assets with both coworkers and members of our school community.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the price is somewhat higher than I would expect, especially since other DAM platforms provide many of the same features. However we did get a great deal that kept it in our budget so I'm thankful for the sales team working with us to find a fair price.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This tool is a real time saver when searching for marketing materials. It's also an excellent way to showcase our work.
Easy Access and Fast Downloads, Though Multiple Tabs Needed
What do you like best about the product?
Simple to find the pieces I need for each program we offer and quick downloads of the items.
What do you dislike about the product?
The opening of several tabs to get to each piece but I understand that is how it must work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping to get marketing and management materials quickly & easily. Simple to find items for each individual program.

User-Friendly with Excellent Support, But User Limits Can Be Restrictive
What do you like best about the product?
Canto is user friendly and they offer excellent support. Canto offers many features to help organize our companies digital assets.
What do you dislike about the product?
One drawback of Canto is that it operates as a pick-and-choose package, which comes with a restriction on the number of users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are currently using Canto to manage our digital assets for PDP, licensing, and brand purposes. It also allows us to store videos, providing a single source of truth for all our assets. This setup enables us to make updates in one central location, ensuring consistency across our materials.
Canto XI Makes Asset Management Easy, But Upload Permissions Could Improve
What do you like best about the product?
What I love about using Canto is the ability to easily configure your digital asset management library in the best way for your end users. Their recent release of Canto XI has made finding and downloading assets easier, and I'm excited to continue our implementation and roll out these features to our organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only limitation we've seen with Canto is the requirement of power user seats for uploads. They do have the upload link option for "guest" uploads, but it's not very scalable for managing large amounts of upload personas without Contributor licenses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have assets all over and with no organization -- no one knows how to find things. We know we're losing assets that could be good, and we have difficulties with "democratizing" access to our assets.
