### "Canto - Valuable tool for your team!"

September 18, 2018

5.0

Canto has helped our team create marketing collateral more efficiently by reducing the time spent researching information and searching for data. It's so much easier than running a search for information! I also love that you can preview all of your assets without opening and closing folders on the server.

Pros

\- Tagging photos & search options - InDesign Integration - Easy to use - All photo assets in one convenient location and can be viewed easily

Cons

\- Wish we could store our InDesign files / templates in the software

### "major help with accessibility, very streamlined form of asset management "

October 16, 2017

5.0

The software streamlines communications across the companies and offers easy search-ablity for anyone using the software.

Pros

the tagging system allows for easy search-ability. folders and albums allow for organization efficiency. the plug-in with In-Design makes it possible to easily connect documents and files with flight.

Cons

the way that tags are done could be streamlined so that users could "apply all" to certain assets rather than retyping the tags over again. another option to highlight images that you would like to go back in look at could be useful (there is something like this currently, however, the assets are all in a giant folder and you cannot make further distinctions between files)

### "Canto Is My New Favorite Asset"

November 13, 2018

4.0

Being able to locate the pictures in one spot so they don't have to be stored on an external hard drive.

Pros

The ease of searching and storing images. We upload thousands of pictures a week with different content, and Canto's software lets us tag and order photos with very little effort.

Cons

We wish it had more sharing options since we use multiple platforms to send photos internally.

### "Canto Review"

November 16, 2018

4.0

I've been really happy with my experience with Canto so far!

Pros

Adding and sharing files to Canto is quick and easy. I love that files can be downloaded immediately, no matter how large the file may be.

Cons

I wish there was a way to add files to folders without having to create an album first. It's a minor problem, but as someone who is constantly uploading files into Canto, it would save a little time and make the uploading process a bit smoother.

### "Canto was the perfect solution for my client"

December 16, 2019

5.0

My client was dealing with a lot of inefficiency and governance issues with digital asset management, and Canto has helped tremendously with things so far. Being able to collaborate across teams, but also restrict assets and control permissions has been super helpful for them.

Pros

It is customizable and all the controls are super useful. The permissions structure is great for managing governance and the client loves all the detailed options. The customizable metadata has been essential to their success. They also love the Adobe Connector and the portals and style guides. The UI is intuitive so onboarding has been smooth. It's a good value. They release new features regularly.

Cons

The tiered storage pricing by TB has been difficult for my client, but they have a strict budget so they're making it work, and Canto was the best value of all the DAM platforms we looked at.

### "Flight Is the Perfect Solution for Our Content Marketing Needs. "

October 16, 2017

5.0

At first, our team was unclear about the difference between tags and keywords. After searching the Help portal, we found the answer. Flight offers excellent customer service, and this is living proof!

Pros

Flight is efficient, user friendly, and the best DAM tool we've ever used. It's central to our marketing communications and allows our in-house teams to collaborate without needless emails and meetings. We experience the benefits of this system on a daily basis!

### "Easy to use"

May 19, 2021

5.0

Pros

What I liked most about Canto is the Smart Tagging feature. This features allows users to find photos they may need, but only have vague information about the photo they are looking for. This feature has saved my a lot of time instead of having browse for long periods of time.

Cons

I have no cons to speak on. For how and why I use Canto, everything fits my needs.

### "Solid DAM"

September 15, 2018

5.0

Pros

Canto has a great interface, both on the front and back end. Looks super polished on the consumer-facing side, and the backend uploading process is pretty straightforward and easy to use. Also is a great value as a mid-tier priced program with upper-tier functionality. Great customer service

Cons

The cold storage aspect is a nice feature, but it takes a really long time to retrieve an item if you actually need it.

### "Canto- great DAM"

May 18, 2021

5.0

Great experience, however its important to use Canto to its maximum capacity for its price to be worth it.

Pros

Canto offers a lot of features to further customize and filter your assets. Be sure to take the training from the start and organize assets accordingly.

Cons

Ideally I would like to have portals more customizable. Portals can be limited and it was a hub where we showed our clients the assets we had for them

### "Have been using this tool for about 2 years now"

April 5, 2020

3.0

It has been a bit of a battle figuring out all the consumers vs contributors with our license but we have that figured out. The UI really does need some help. It’s not very intuitive for new users I bring into the tool from our design team.

Pros

We liked the adobe integration with Canto, along with the Portal options. We have a portal for internal assets company wide that has been a great tool for us.

Cons

UI is a bit difficult. Our contributors and consumers struggle and tend to need guidance.

Reason for choosing Canto

I think it was the full cloud integration without the need for a second product.

### "I am a Canto reseller and Canto Partner Member"

September 11, 2017

4.0

I am a reseller

Pros

There is nothing else on the market that compares from a price/value perspective. To find a product that provides as many features, you would be spending 4 times the cost of Canto

Cons

The application client interface hasn't changed in over 10 years, it needs to become more user-friendly with a redesigned interface.

4.0

Pros

We enjoy the ability to create portals. We make use of the portals for wholesale customers, photographers, as well as internal use. I like that we're able to customize the look of the portals as well

Cons

Occasionally we run into slow speed when uploading large quantities of images at once.

December 16, 2019

4.0

Pros

Canto is easy to use and customize. We love using the public portal feature to create assets galleries for various internal and external stakeholders of pre-approved content.

Cons

Wish there was a quick view/indicator in the thumbnail view that lets you see if an asset is restricted or not.

### "Canto cando"

November 10, 2020

5.0

Being able to manage our digital assets especially in terms of being DPA compliant is worth the money itself. Keeping assets in one place and being able to add meta data is a great help. Being able to search for images is very useful and time saving

Pros

There are quite a few features that makes this software good. The SSO makes this good from an admin perspective

Cons

Some of the add-ons do not work with SSO - bit frustrating

Reason for choosing Canto

We looked at other software, but Canto was the most feature rich, easiest to use and cost effective.

September 20, 2018

4.0

Pros

As a small independent school with many digital assets, we have been able to organize and share our files more easily with different departments at our school.

Cons

There is a bit of a learning curve for the users, but for those who want to learn it does not take long to understand how to find the asset the asset they need.

### "This is the most robust and easy to use Digital Asset Management system in the market today."

September 13, 2017

5.0

Preserving our assets for history and to provide easy access to customer requests for pictures on events or publications and presentations. Storage of the assets in one place and reduce the copies on the network.

Pros

Easy to find the items you need. You can add so many different items into Canto and it can meet many users needs and easy to customize for their needs.

Cons

Customizing Sites is tedious and should be made easier. I was disappointed when a few upgrades didn't have many changes to how Sites could be modified.

### "Stepped Up Our Digital Asset Management Game to Canto"

September 20, 2018

5.0

Pros

We had been using a simplified asset management system, but realized we needed something more robust. Canto was able to deliver what we needed. We needed something that was easy to use, had the ability to add many users for internal access as well as the ability to share externally, and needed very good cataloging/search tools. It does all that and much more. Canto has been great for us as we now have all of our media assets in one place.

Cons

Not necessarily a knock on the software, unless there is a solution to this problem. But mass uploading takes some time since you have to go back in to organize & tag everything.
