Canto has revolutionized asset management for this marketing team
What do you like best about the product?
My asests are finally tagged, organized and accessible to anyone with internet access.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a catchall library for all assets. Currently, Canto requires you to place assets in an album, but I'd like to be able to upload assets without being forced to put them in an album, especially, with AI search features coming on board, albums seem less and less important.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto has allowed me to share our digital assets with everyone on my team, division, organization and external partner.
Why couple together file sharing and some search made for text files
What do you like best about the product?
Search and the ability to only have what is approved available
What do you dislike about the product?
Smart tags not so smart, hoping the AI based search makes it so that is not a problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a single place for people to access the large set of images and controlling that only approved images/videos are used by staff
Smooth Sailing Using Canto So Far
What do you like best about the product?
I love how the integration with InDesign seems to work so smoothly. I travel a lot and can access Canto easily on a plane through the InDesign plug in. I also like how easy it is to get a response back from Canto service managers.
What do you dislike about the product?
The backend custom fields. It's really hard to make edits in the tiny squares and should be able to have a window box open to edit, instead scrolling through is frustrating. Also don't like that things don't automatically alphabetize in every custom field on the back end and front end.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's created a cloud based site for us to store our favorite marketing images to easily use in proposals and marketing materials.
Canto is easy to navigate, easy to learn, has great searchability and integration functionality.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to navigate, customizable to our photo needs, tons of functionality, uploading to canto is quick. Customer support is fantastic. The support team is very responsive and helpful. Implementation was super easy and training was provided to all our users. We use Canto every day.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only dislike is that the sales team is always trying to sell us add on features that we don't need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides us with the storage solution needed for our photo and video needs. It integrates with Adobe Premier so uploading our asset is easy and it takes our tags and keywords from Adobe.
Best multimedia archival system we've found for a global organization with room for improvement.
What do you like best about the product?
The level of metadata we can document and access we can provide for our users. General depth of organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
We share access to our archives to our organization for self-servicing multimedia needs. The power-users can adjust to the Canto's complex functionality but it can be challenging for intuitive user-experience. We hope this will improve with time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A way to organize a complex library of multimedia assets with deep metadata and provide access to our global users to be able to use for marketing and communication materials in an ethical way.
Wonderful Migration over to Canto
What do you like best about the product?
Very happy with the switch to Canto! I'm endlessly impressed by all of the tools and functionality. I love how easily I can customize and change settings and the online help center. Jonathon's tutorials were very straightforward and easy to navigate. He did a great job explaining and showing examples.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far! Everything has been clear and there are so many features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto is helping organize our internal archive files as well as creative mood board assets.
Good platform for photo storage
What do you like best about the product?
Canto is a decent photo storage library for my organization. It's been helpful to have the option to create portals for specific users/teams to upload their own files and then give admins the ability to review and approve those files before they become available in the main library.
What do you dislike about the product?
Canto's user interface is not the most user-friendly or intuitive. It feels a bit outdated and there are a lot of buttons and menu items to sort through to find what you need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prior to adopting Canto we were using Google Drive for all photo and video storage. This resulted in files being scattered throughout various folders, duplicate files, and no ability to tag and easily search/retrieve the photo users were looking for.
Our first Digital Asset Management system
What do you like best about the product?
We appreciate that the user interface is end user friendly
What do you dislike about the product?
It is challenging to switch from workspace to main library and back.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storing photos and making them available to our campus partners.
Canto collaborated well with my team
What do you like best about the product?
Organized easy to use structure. Very intuitive format
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing yet. Canto has addressed my needs sufficiently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bridging with other databases to consolidate collections in a single searchable format
Overall a great tool for organizing creative assets
What do you like best about the product?
Canto makes it easy to organize a lot of assets from dynamic sources, and searchability is very easy. I like that I can be extremely granular about how and where assets are stored, and customization in metadata custom fields is very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see some better user interface be develeped in Canto. Sometimes it seems like I need to make extra clicks that could be consilidated into one click or key command. I think these things will come with time, but for now there are small inefficiencies that could be streamlined. I'd also like to see support for custom automation/scripts that could further enhance my organization's productivity. For example, the ability to integrate a simple batch script for all ingested assets that identifies aspects of the filename then attributes metadata accordingly would be very beneficial (right now I have an exra step of doing this outside of Canto before upload).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization of a wide range of creative assets used for marketing purposes and for ecommerce website (product detail pages). Also sharing these assets with internal and external customers as needed.
