Great Upgrade from Traditional Content Management but Data Side Has a Lot of Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
The team has been very knowledgeable and the training series proves to help ease some of the implementation jitters our team has. There is a learning curve with moving from a regular hard drive on a server to Canto but we are excited to use Canto's other features.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the PIM side is more robust and more customize-able. The set-up of products is a little more complicated than expected but nothing too hard is you're familiar with spreadsheets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It takes on a huge chunk of a Catalog Manager's role in the company. It allows team members access to content they normally would have to ask someone to send them or get access to.
Effortless Photo Management with Impressive Features
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Canto makes it much easier to receive photos from photographers and share them in a modern way. I appreciate that Canto continues to improve and add new features, and I find the facial recognition, style guides, and customizing portals to be really great features. These tools make it easier to identify athletes and share photos in a visually appealing way.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like the new library view and happy the option to use the old view is still available

Very Robust Platform with Many Applicatons
What do you like best about the product?
Portals is a great feature - easy to manage users and content.
What do you dislike about the product?
Smart tags could be improved. Maybe there's a way to feed the AI with references, instructions and guidelines up front to improve functionality. With our products smart tags have been mostly a miss, it's be nice to automate tagging fully vs manual input.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Centralizing and standardizing access to all approved documents and assets. AS our business has not be fully integrated, this is key. Before Canto, documents and assets were scattered across multiple Sharepoint sites and hard drives. 2. Process optimization - approving, releasing and updating content, with stakeholders across various teams. Version control is also important here. 3. Portals for various types of users/consumers, both internal and external.
One Click Away
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to store all of our professional photography, videos, and creative assets in one place where my creative team as easy access to use when needed or to look at stored content for new ideas for projects we have in queue. Canto is extremely easy to use and access.
I use and rely on Canto everyday to assist in my work and provide support to our internal clients on a whole range of projects. The creative stored is implemented in our marketing campaigns, brand campaigns, email drip campaigns, and general marketing of programs.
I haven't had many issues using Canto, but when needed the customer service team is accessible and quick to respond. I appreciate having a team to trouble shoot when needed.

What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly have not had any issues with Canto. And, if I did, I know my contact will take care of it quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having all of our creative assets under one umbrella is a huge benefit and a time saver when working on tight deadlines.
Beat product we introduced into our workflow!
What do you like best about the product?
Remote access for all team members. Fantastic ability to share large files with partners and clients. Great customer support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some navigation within folder/album structures could be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote team sharing was made so much more streamlined. Client link sharing is one of our most used features.
Great Experience
What do you like best about the product?
Canto has allowed us to service our clients far better than before. We have lot of retail clients and every one of them has different specifications for the imagery. In the past, with some clients, I'd have to create custom version of specific product photos. Now, they can get what they want, when they want it and whatever size they need.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, I'd like to show the same images in different folders without having to have mulitple copies of the same image uploaded at the same time. I have clients that want to look for images sorted by seasons without having to use the search function so they can easily download everything for that season. Then I have some clients that want to just download, let's say, pants only. Instead of searching for pants, they want to click on a folder and download the full assortment. The search feature is awesome but a lot of folks would rather just use the old methods of clicking on folders.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto has taken a lot of the burden of clients asking for small amounts of images and having to wait, possibly the next day, before they get a response. With Canto, our clients can go search for anything they want and download it within moments.
Intuitive and powerful asset management system
What do you like best about the product?
Our university hosts thousands of photos dating back to a decade and CANTO is powerful enough to host and manage all those images. It's intuitive to use: for uploading, downloading (and for clients not registered for the system it's so easy to send a link exclusively for just that album of photos and not the whole library), the ability to download in compressed and resized files, and creation of albums (snap) so easy for organization. The one stand out feature is the facial recognition: we upload one photo and tag that photo with facial recognition and it becomes so much easier to search now.
What do you dislike about the product?
The ability to go back to search results after looking at an individual photo. One of the things we have to do is redo a search for the same desired results because after you've looked at an individual photo and downloaded it, you can't use the back button on your browser to go back to your search results. You have to do the search all over again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to house and manage thousands of images we use for our Marketing and Communication purposes. And how easy it is to organize and find the photos needed with intuitive controls that even the least technically savvy user n our university can find it easy to sue.
Best program to keep digital assets organized
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the ease of being able to keep all of our digital assess in one place. Prior to this we were using other programs and it was very difficult to keep organized. We are a nonprofit with a very large number members. Being able to tag pictures and have the face recognition has been super helpful when recognizing our members.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don’t dislike anything, but there could always be improvement with the UX. Creating a public link or upload link can be very tedious.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping assists in one place and making it easy to organize.
Love Canto - great for enabling our sales org with materials
What do you like best about the product?
We’ve been using Canto for sales enablement, and honestly, it’s been a total game-changer for our team. Managing and sharing content used to be a bit chaotic, but now everything’s organized and easy to find. Whether we’re in a meeting or on a call with a customer, we can pull up the right sales materials in seconds—thanks to Canto’s smart search and simple layout.
One of our favorite features is the Portals. They let us build custom collections of marketing assets that are always current and perfectly on-brand, so our sales team isn’t wasting time digging through folders or second-guessing if a file’s outdated.
Since switching to Canto, we’ve cut way down on the time spent hunting for the right content. That means more time for real conversations with clients—and more closed deals. For us, it’s become an essential part of staying efficient, professional, and consistent across the board.

What do you dislike about the product?
We love using Canto, but we do wish the PDF editing tools were a bit more robust. Being able to make quick markups or minor changes directly in the platform would save our team time and streamline our workflows. It’s a great system overall—this added functionality would just take it to the next level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto helps us solve the problem of scattered sales materials by giving our team one central place to find the most current, on-brand assets. Instead of wasting time digging through folders or double-checking version control, our reps can quickly grab what they need—even in the middle of a client call. It’s made our sales process more efficient, more consistent, and a whole lot less stressful.
A neat and helpful software!
What do you like best about the product?
I like Canto because it is a neat software that allows for organized storage of photos. It is easy to use and keep all your photos and videos stored for anyone in your organization to use. It is a level up from a simple drive or folder database because it allows you to tag your photos and make it easier to nail down the perfect one for your needs. No longer are we spending time scrolling through photos for the perfect marketing needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is challenging to download smaller photo sizes. I wanted to create a preset for our employees but it seemed to not work how I wanted it to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No longer are we using simple dropbox folders to house our photos. We can now categorize and sort our photos based on the criteria that makes sense for our organization. Being a clean water organization, we are constant using the keywords "clean water," "dirty water," "smile," "children."
