Great support and good product.
What do you like best about the product?
I use Canto daily and I love that I can create a link for a variety of files from all different folders and subfolders. That is very helpful when I am sharing our creative content with others.
What do you dislike about the product?
It isn't quite as user-friendly as I would like. I like a software that I can poke around and teach myself how to use it. I find myself having to search for answers, on occasion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a wide range of stakeholders who need access to our files. We have remote employees, customers, sales reps, publications, and others with whom we need to share our photography and sales tools. Canto is a great resource to store our content and to easily share it with those who need it.
Canto is a powerful DAM but comes with a hefty price and is complex to set up and manage.
What do you like best about the product?
Cant has great sharing tools, and the interface is clean and straightforward. Facial recognition is a huge time saver for tagging images. In our trials, it outperformed the competitors on all the features we needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
The most challenging part of Canto has been setting it up in a way that works for our workflow, small team and limited resources. The high cost of adding additional storage space has forced us to compromise on how much we can use it. We also have had several technical issues with DNG files not downloading correctly, which took several months to fix. We also had some problems with the Google Drive integration not syncing correctly, and we should have been advised to set it up differently from the beginning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto helps us spend less staff time assisting clients in finding the assets they need so we can focus that time on creating high-quality content. We also love all the sharing features in Canto that allow us to quickly select and share assets for collaborating on projects.

I have not experienced a downside as of yet.

Canto is a great resource for teams

I love how easy it is for our team to quickly and easily find the digital assets that they need, to allow for greater efficiency across the board.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's definitely an investment, especially for small organizations like ours.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our assets were incredibly difficult to categorize and search. Now, just about anybody on our team can find what they're looking for with very little training!
Canto Review
What do you like best about the product?
Working remotely, our team needs easy access to our media assets, and Canto has provided just that! This has been increased productivity and helps us stay organized as we juggle multiple projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes we have a hard time creating portals, sharing albums and workspaces. Knowing which to use when has been a sore spot. Also sometimes uploading videos can take forever!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's reducing our need to have multiple HDD drives with us on video shoots. AFter filming, we can come back and upload footage to Canto and that footage can be immediately used by editors back in the office.
I love Canto so much!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how robust the metadata fields are, and the different portals you can create. Also they recently released integration with Canva which is so amazing. I also love the adobe connector!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was an easier way to sort through assets as you're uploading them, but in speaking with the canto team they have given me some great suggestions on how to offset the work of individually tagging. the bulk metadata editor is life changing!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is saving us a ton of time looking and finding assets. It's so helpful to be working right in Canva and be able to access my complete Canto library. We spend less time looking for assets and more time creating cool stuff.
Good tool for managing lots of files, but interface can be clunky at times
What do you like best about the product?
What I find most helpful about Canto is it's facial recognition and other tagging features for photos, I also like the number of files that can be stored securely.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface at times can be a bit clunky and slow-moving as compared to other programs, especially when building portals and style guides. I think a drag-and-drop interface would be a huge improvement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto solves the issue of having an organized and secure place to keep files that are also easily accessible to other members of my organization. This has definitely streamlined the process of accessing files.

Canto allows us to neatly organize and centralize all our photography assets. This is critical to our marketing team, which needs quick and efficient access to photography for various projects daily.

Great System for Organizing, Storing, and Sharing
What do you like best about the product?
Canto is a searchable storage solution for creatives, archived files, and videos that are all in one place. Easy to use and search, and a great option for sharing larger files with outside firms. It also allows for an easy way to receive files from outside contributors.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish the cataloging system was a bit more customizable. The directory can be a little bit of a pain point when trying to search for something without typing a keyword - but that's usually the ultimate fix!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team works remotely and having one place for all of us to upload our photos, videos and archived content has streamlined our workflow and allowed us to work more efficiently internally, and with outside partners.
