Excellent company to partner with
What do you like best about the product?
When searching for a new solution for digital asset management, we needed a partner who could meet our requirements at an attractive price while being easy to implement and manage. Cantu not only delivered on all fronts but exceeded our expectations. Their support and customer service have been phenomenal.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I dislike is that we had not found them sooner.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cantu enables us to store and share our digital assets both internally and externally, significantly streamlining our workflow and enhancing collaboration across teams.
I love Canto!
What do you like best about the product?
My company has multiple brands in our parent company and we do a lot of private branding. It is easy for me to house all assets under one roof but have them grouped by brand
What do you dislike about the product?
I use upload link multiple times a day to send to my overseas team. I know that canto sends a link to their email, but when communicating with them it is easier to paste the link in the body of an email. it is a pain to have to edit the upload link just to copy it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves having an easy way to view and find assets. It makes my life easier organizing dozens of brands in one place
Easy to use, great place to store media
What do you like best about the product?
I really like Canto's facial recognition feature. It's very accurate and can pick a small face out of the background of a photograph and still identify them. They also have great customer support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the admin navigation is a little clunky (or I just don't know the best way to use it yet).
For example, when I create a link to share a selection of photos it seems like the only way to find that link again is by creating another link and choosing "existing links". There should just be a list of links somewhere.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto is a centralized place for team members to upload their photos. Links can be accessed by anyone, in or outside of our company, so it's preferable to any built-in Microsoft solutions.
If we didn't have Canto, we'd probably use a folder on SharePoint which would cause a lot of permissions issues and storage capacity issues. Canto also has any easy search feature.

Great product, and great service
What do you like best about the product?
Canto does a great job of helping us manage files. Photos, videos, and documents are shared easily and affectively. As a content creator, it's a useful tool to help me work with customers and business partners.
What do you dislike about the product?
The admin side can be a bit cumbersome. My company creates a large amount on content and sometimes it is difficult to access exactly what people are looking for in Canto.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto helps us stay organized. Content management is key for us. We have a large amount of content to manage and Canto keeps us on track.
A good general-use DAM
What do you like best about the product?
Generally a pretty flexible platform - we've used Canto to publish and share content pretty effectively for an international audience. File management is intuitive for backend.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some limitations around amount of "power users" and some workarounds were needed to ensure effective team use (upload and sharing privileges).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our business needs for Canto include filesharing, content publishing (mass distribution), and asset management for segmented audiences (by language and geography)
Best online D.A.M. system we've used.
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, the search capabilities!, and the ability to share with external stakeholders.
What do you dislike about the product?
1) The very limited number of users who can upload and the expense of adding additional ones
2) (if we are nit-picking) The two page clicks required to download assets

User-friendly, affordable, simple DAM platform for internal and external needs
What do you like best about the product?
Canto is a user-friendly and flexible platform that made organizing our digital assets quick and easy, resulting in one of the smoothest integrations into our team processes. The support staff is always ready to assist with any questions or issues. Canto has a well-designed and intuitive UX, easily integrates with our third-party platforms, and allows us to enrich our assets with metadata and attributes. Additionally, creating portals has proven beneficial for our partners and stakeholders, both internally and externally.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Canto offers many great features, I wish the customization of content and the ability to create templates were more robust. Additionally, the search feature is not always intuitive, which can make finding specific assets a bit challenging at times. Additionally, the WordPress plugin is not really functional for our needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto has significantly improved our ability to organize and manage our digital assets, including branded assets and product resources. It provides a centralized location where our staff and business partners can easily access and distribute these materials. The platform's efficient organization tools ensure that everyone has quick access to the resources they need, streamlining our workflows and enhancing collaboration.
Time Saver Extraordinaire!
What do you like best about the product?
The amount of time we've saved since using Canto is incredible. The search engine is so intelligent, truly a game changer for our small organization. The customer support is top-notch.
What do you dislike about the product?
The usability of the backend can use some tweaking. A bit clunky until you get used to it. The customization for landing pages/portals is also a bit primitive for such a powerful platform. Would love some more WYSIWYG functionality built in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It would take hours to search amongst our thousands of photos to find what we are looking for -- this has solved for that
Canto has saved our lives
What do you like best about the product?
Canto is extremely multifaceted which makes it really helpful for our team to search for pictures. I love how you can organize the backend in so many different ways--including in albums, tags, custom fields, facial recognition, etc. Finding pictures for all uses has never been such a breeze.
It's taken some time for us to get the hang of how to use the platform and figure out what works for us. At this point though, Canto is like my little baby that I feel so proud of.
Brian, our original implementation specialist, was extremely helpful in getting us acquainted and was available to answer any questions I had at any time. My supervisor and I still talk very fondly about him, even though we integrated nearly a year and a half a go.

What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to have some improvements in terms of the portal feature. This is the tool that our staff use to upload pictures, which portals aren't really made for. It would be great to have an easier way to organize this or even a type of feature that is more intuitive for people who aren't tech savvy. There are a lot of instructions to upload and sometimes it deters staff for doing it!
I would love for there to be a feature to crop and edit pictures within Canto without having to download and reupload.
Also working with people with disabilities, we've noticed one flaw with the facial recognition feature. For some reason, it acknowledges every person with Down Syndrome in our community as the same person. I hope this will be improved someday!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto the one place where all of our pictures live, and we never really had that prior. It also serves as a way to organize every picture that we have in a system that works well. For an organization that has a lot of different programs going on constantly, it's great to have one place to go and easily find photos we need for marketing, fundraising or programming. It also has made it a lot easier for us to receive pictures. Being able to have one place where staff can upload all their pictures is extremely helpful and ensures we get pictures within a timely manner.
The damn DAM you've been looking for...
What do you like best about the product?
The organization and searchability of assets is so crucial to what I do, I couldn't be happier to find a platform that allows me to do so with such ease and efficiency.
What do you dislike about the product?
My biggest thing at this point would be the ability to add review comments to share links, it kind of stinks to have to leave comments through portals if you're a consumer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The quickness that files are found and able to be used through a one-stop-shop source of truth is awesome, I appreciate that very much.
