Awesome asset management
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to store, sort, and access all of our brand's assets from any internet connection
What do you dislike about the product?
Search bar will periodically auto-fill words that I am not typing, sometimes I am not able to search a certain asset without it auto-completing to something else.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to keep assets up to date and see previous versions is a huge help.This helps us track changes and view our different deign comps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a look at the auto-complete in the search bar
Great Platform to Share Media for Digital Marketers!
What do you like best about the product?
The ability for my company to have a platform where we can share images and videos across different teams. I can use content from other marketing teams within the company in my own marketing campaigns. The search bar function based on keywords is very helpful when looking for specific themes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface could be a little more intuitive. When downloading pictures, there should be an instant download button at the image page instead of having to click through another page. Also a multiple download option for pictures would also be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to share and use different creatives from different marketing teams haven a huge bonus. Instead of having to reach out to the team, everything is in one place for us to easily access and view media.
Canto Enables Self-Service Access to Imagery
What do you like best about the product?
Beautifully visual and easy to use platform, which was vital to serve our internal sales team who are not super technically savvy. Love that you can organize photos into Portals, Albums, and Collections, as well as tag them with important keywords. It gives you multiple ways to browse and search for photos. I also like the ability to choose the file type and size of your image prior to download, so you don't have to edit the size down later in photo editing software. This platform gave us a solution to having a one-touch access point to all of our marketing approved imagery, and had the ability to keep things gated, so that certain images were available to certain teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some technical glitches every now and then. Photos sometimes default as CMYK instead of RGB, causing people who are not aware, to download a CMYK image and the coloring is way off. Another glitch is when you bulk upload, sometimes the prior settings get transferred over to your new batch of downloads, which is inaccurate. I wish there was more capability in sharing or that their account tiers were more flexible on the amount of portals.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having all of our imagery in one place, that is up to date, and easy to see. Keeping images in gated silos that ensure only the right people have access to them. The ability to add legal terms and conditions to outside customers downloading images, which keeps us from being liable from any legal repurcussions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for an easy to use/intuitive one-stop-shop for housing your photography resources, I'd highly recommend it. Specifically, if you need multiple levels of organization and permissions to different assets.
Canto Makes Our Visual Content Lives Easier
What do you like best about the product?
Before Canto we housed all of our visual content (photos, videos, etc.) on a server that was slow to load previews and made it difficult to access. Canto has made our content browsing both faster and more enjoyable.
What do you dislike about the product?
We haven't used Canto for a very long time yet so at the moment nothing comes to mind.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to have wider internal use of our assets and a significantly easier time searching, previewing, and downloading. The ability to also provide links to outside groups as well as the many other tagging and keyword features are improving our processes.
Top Customer Service and Search
What do you like best about the product?
If all your photos are tagged and properly arranged, the search function is very efficient for quick photo identification. The customer service has been extremely patient and helpful during our transition. The ability to include an image in more than one folder without duplicating the file is also extremely beneficial.
What do you dislike about the product?
Moving from one system to another is always a laborious process and I wish Canto had helped more, but it's understandable that we set up our system the way we need it to function.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Photo search and availability, easy to navigate and share with external audiences
Great tool for sharing ideas and files
What do you like best about the product?
Canto provides a tool for sharing files and ideas with team members across several locations.
What do you dislike about the product?
The file organization and search are adequate but could be more robust.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Many marketing teams are able to share files easily, in various file formats. We are working much more efficiently.
Meets our needs to customized sharing
What do you like best about the product?
I like the customized permissions, portals and customized file structure options. The sharing capabilities are key for us as we need to share different information with specific groups.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see better data and reporting for Canto portals. Right now it's hard to differentiate whether the views are coming from a specific portal or the main library.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canto solves a problem for us on how to securely store and organize digital assets. We store all of our product imagery, employee headshots, videos, artwork and brand files on Canto and share these with different groups of people both internally and externally.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We're still figuring this out ourselves! :)
Intuitive Digital Assets Management
What do you like best about the product?
Can store any file type, can preview most file types.
What do you dislike about the product?
Slow user interface. Browsing a large set of images is tedious.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Consolidating all approved photographic resources into a easily accessible platform with robust search features.
Requests from outside users have been greatly reduced.
Requests from outside users have been greatly reduced.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good tool for distributing approved content. Not so great for culling a great number of images from photographers.
Game Changer for Creative and File Management
What do you like best about the product?
We have a lot of creative, spanning from raw image files to full-on ad campaigns. Being able to use tags, which are easily searchable, has been a HUGE time saver. Being able to crop, resize and compress images before downloading make our life a lot easier. I personally really like the Branding Guidelines feature; we can share it with our partners and it's a very clean and simple experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a bit overwhelming at the beginning. There are a LOT of customization options in the backend and it takes practice and diligence to become proficient at it. But it's worth it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Things are much better organized now. We have a proper system in place and we know everything is filed and stored where it should. Most importantly we know we can find everything quickly and efficiently.
Great collaboration Tool and Usability
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to collaborate with team members and share assets between teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a connector for Affinity Designer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to easily access creative assets easily and in an organized way.
