### "Best Platform to Keep all your assets organized and sharable."

September 13, 2018

4.0

Overall it has been amazing.

Pros

This software is extremely easy to navigate and it gives the admins full control of what can be shared to different clients. Its very user friendly and organized folders in a way that makes it almost impossible to lose track of files.

Cons

One downside of this software is the load time as well as minor glitches that cause the user to have to reload from the home page.

### "User-Friendly, Shareable, Accessible to Everyone"

April 7, 2020

5.0

One of the larger issues we solved by moving to Canto is the siloed assets that lived in different computers, hard drives, and servers. Introducing Canto allowed us to put all these assets under a single system that is clearly designed to be user-friendly and fully functional for the type of uses that we require on a daily basis. from finding assets for projects to creating case studies for meetings. All assets are under one platform and sharable to reps, customers, and homeowners with just a few clicks.

Pros

One of the main things we like about Canto is the ability to tag, share, and organize all of our digital assets in a user-friendly interface. this product is easy to use and one of the best features is the keyword and tag search usability. the integration took a bit of time because we had a large database of files to tag and upload, but now the organization of said assets is systemized and clearly defined going forward.

Cons

Integration took a bit of time because of the tagging and organization that needed to be done. this is one of the important parts but also something that was not 100% clarified. there are multiple places where the same information can be entered so we wonder if there might be a little bit of overlap or redundancy in this regard. Overall, this was all worth it to ensure our assets were properly tagged and searchable.

### "Overall a great value for the money"

September 10, 2018

4.0

So far it has been great to have a searchable database for our assets. The user interface is not completely intuitive, but once you know where everything is, it is easy to use.

Pros

Canto has a customizable interface that we can adapt to our many business facings. It came in significantly less expensive than other competitors.

Cons

There is room for improvement in the amount of options available in the settings and preferences. They do have a process of submitting feature requests. Overall it does what it's supposed to, but it could be nice to fine tune a few things based on our needs.

### "So far so good!"

September 20, 2018

4.0

Pros

My favorite things about Canto are: -Tagging. Our company has loved the unlimited amount of tags we can apply to photos to improve our ability to search project photos. -Sharing Photos Through Link Generation. I love being able to select whatever photos I want to share, generate a link, and then send to a coworker/client for easy download

Cons

We've had trouble with certain albums being unable to download. We're not sure why this is the case but feel like it is a problem that can be fixed soon.

### "Can't o? "

December 20, 2019

3.0

Sadly it is mind numbingly labour intensive and not suitable as an image library.

Pros

As a storage device for images it is ok Adding Metadata is about the best thing for this and the user interface on the front end looks ok.

Cons

Not even sure on where to start but as an image library or DAM it is one of the most clunky and difficult ones I have ever used. Search functionality, uploading and downloading are some of the worst aspects. The auto word suggest in the search is painful and easily jumps to a work you do not want, once you hit search the word you re searching for does not show in the panel and it doesn't highlight where it has found that word in the Image data. There is no function to list images by a certain number per page. No similar image recommendation when you are looking at a specific image.

### "Canto Flight Review"

April 13, 2017

4.0

We've been using Canto's Flight for a little over a year now, and I remain highly impressed with the service. They continue to make great improvements in the features and interface. They respond to issues, questions, and requests quickly. Couldn't be happier!

Pros

Easy to use an administer. Looks nice. Lots of asset sharing options. Very responsive customer service team.

Cons

My only complaint is I wish the image previews were higher quality.

### "The Right Fit"

May 19, 2021

5.0

Pros

This is the first DAM we've contracted at Mercy and we are very pleased with the features. We are easily able to share and tag photos which is a big plus. The social media integration and native photo editing tools are also helpful for social posts.

Cons

This is eminently customizable, so you need to have strong governance or else you will run into organizational issues. I recommend a work group to review periodically

### "The software is easy to use, but sometimes Canto gets down for some time."

September 15, 2017

4.0

Share, organize and select files easy. Set metadatas, informations and tags for different file types.

Pros

Its a pleasure to create and share own collections. Organizing Files is a easy and set tags, informations and other metadata to eassily find and select files such for licence relevant use or other cases.

Cons

Sometimes Canto is down and not that stable. The longest time in the last month was something about 30-45 min. Before that we had the servers down for like 1 - 1 1/2 days. I work with a graphicdablet and the right click and scrolling doesnt work well with Canto.. sometimes.

### "Powerful Software"

December 14, 2019

5.0

Canto has already helped us manage our most valuable asset; our time. Our Digital Marketing Department is now prepared for the rapid growth of our organization.

Pros

Canto has an excellent set of features that help us manage our brand a little bit closer. The beautifully laid out portals are great for our other locations to be able to download without having to email us directly. The status controls help us make sure the right assets are available without the worry of assets getting in the wrong hands. Finally, Canto has a great team of support. They're always available to answer questions and resolve any issues quickly.

Cons

I have found a need to make certain things within a portal viewable and not downloadable, but that is not offered at this time.

Reason for choosing Canto

We chose Canto ultimately because of the portals and style guide. We're able to share more and have greater control of the brand.

July 23, 2020

5.0

I am thrilled with this product, using it every day to share Assets.

Pros

We are very impressed with the portal creation feature. Building our different portals for our different customer groups has been a game changer for the way we share assets.

Cons

There is a bit of a steep learning curve, but this is really only because the software is so robust. Once you get the hang of Canto the possibilities are really endless.

### "Canto for photo management"

November 7, 2018

4.0

Having a centralized database that even those in remote locations can access has been a big win for us.

Pros

Canto allowed us to create a centralized database of photos from all of our projects. It's easy to access and field staff are able to upload images.

Cons

The design set up of the main page can be a bit confusing and difficult to navigate. Also (not a criticism of Canto), you have to think through the organization of your file structure and the front end and make sure your staff is trained in order to maintain consistency.

### "My Canto Review"

April 6, 2020

5.0

Pros

The way how it is structured is simple and easy to follow to any users. One of the main challenges we previously experienced was the way to share our assets with people outside our organization. It saves our time and allows us control the access to our assets so it has been helpful. I was not part of the actual integration but I heard it was smoothly done.

Cons

I cannot think of anything at this moment.
