Senior Marketing Specialist
What do you like best about the product?
I love the user friendly experience and the ability to organize thousands of creative assets in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing at this time. It has been a very positive experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to keep things efficient as well as highly organized.
Canto can do it all
What do you like best about the product?
We use Canto as a repository for our work. It's great in providing a one place for everyone from the team to access whatever assets they may need. It's critical for a company with large teams of people.
What do you dislike about the product?
Moving and creating folders and albums can take some time, it's rather slow. Also, tagging is too manual. I wish it weren't. Shortcuts would be extremely helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
How to find assets throughout the institution without having to bother and ask other people from different teams. It's a central hub where you can find anything and everything at a very pleasant, seamless way.
Powerful search and organization capabilities in a clean, simple interface
What do you like best about the product?
Clean interface. Powerful search functionality. The ability to quickly and easily create collections or "portals" to distribute assets.
Also love that you can add one file to several different locations withouyt file duplication.

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it retained the connection between InDesign files and its linked files when uploading. You can relink after uploading, but it doesnt always bring the graphics back into place at the correct position/size.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We now have a much more professional way of giving file access to our internal sales force and dealer network. We can also see the great potential for more efficient creation of design documents.
Canto is great for organizing a large image library and sharing with others
What do you like best about the product?
Canto has great albums and folders to organize everything you need by photo shoot, photographer, keywords, etc. Creating outward facing albums is a little complicated, but makes it very easy to send files/links to outward facing clients. Their templating system is also extremely helpful to keep us on brand. It's a little non-intuitive to create and upload the templates, but easy once you learn the system.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their templating system is through a third party vendor, so when my team had issues with this system earlier this year, there were extra steps required to get the issues addressed. Canto was very helpful and apologetic, but it did take extra time while we were on a deadline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our most difficult problem is getting new and great photos to outward facing clients in a timely fashion. We currently have a private server we keep all of our images from photo shoots on, but we need to be able to share those easily and quickly. Canto helps us store, organize, and share these images much more efficiently. It makes sharing images across teams quicker as well.
Improve Workflow with Canto
What do you like best about the product?
Canto has robust search-ability, makes every day more efficient, and is a professional way to share assets externally. It is user friendly, and makes it easy to upload, tag, download, and share assets.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing - I've found it to be incredibly user friendly and have all the features I need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamlined asset management and sharing. Improved asset sharing externally.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Build a robust tagging taxonomy, and have a plan for asset organization going into implementation.
Can Do with Canto
What do you like best about the product?
The Canto application is flexible and easy to use. In addition to ease of use and flexibility, maintaining and modifying permissions, users, and other areas are extremely easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found very little Canto I didn't particularly like; the only changes I would probably make would be a more simplistic interface for some of our basic users. But having worked with Canto for 5+ years, I've seen them make some pretty significant changes, so honestly, it's probably only a matter of time before they make modifications to simplify the interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest issue is sharing videos and high-quality images with my team members. Canto allows us to do this dynamically as a data asset management system. It also allows us to tag the contents with clean metadata. It's very searchable. These factors have increased our ability to deploy web and social media content, share files with many programs, and work with local and national media organizations.
Great Dam for marketing teams!

- Great and supportive customer service
- Keywords and metadata make it extremely easy to filter through assets
- Easy to share the files externally and internally

What do you dislike about the product?

- The UX design and platform user-friendliness is not the greatest
- The UX design and platform user-friendliness is not the greatest
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto is used mostly by our marketing team for storing assets and filtering through files. It makes it quicker and easier to search for images, as well as share the files with agencies and other teams.
Everything in one place.
What do you like best about the product?
We love having all of our usable photography accessible in one place. The searchability is very robust. Finding and creating a customized asset set to share is very easy and very fast. And the Smart Tags have come in very handy!
What do you dislike about the product?
Cropping and resizing is not as intuitive as it could be, so it ends up being a feature that no one else uses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Canto empowers other team members to search and find their own approved assets. It also makes sharing assets incredibly easy.
Great Experience with Canto
What do you like best about the product?
Canto allows for standardization across the organization by centralizing approved photos and media of each of our properties. I like how it can be a resource for so many different departments that otherwise would not be aligned regarding the visuals it uses.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it challenging to switch between the media and photo portal. This is not a big issue, however, as I only use the photo portal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto does a great job of organizing the company's photos and making them accessible across different departments. By doing so, it allows the organization to have a unified approach to branding.
Very helpful staff and good product, but may need some UX/UI work.
What do you like best about the product?
Canto is great for external uploaders and the facial recognition and keyword systems is awesome.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UX/UI is not very intuitive and I wish facial recognition was including in workspaces.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved using file folders to store all our folders and it is much easier/quicker to find materials for design work.
