### "I have been very happy with centralizing the huge amount of creative assets that come from our team."

October 16, 2017

5.0

Pros

I like that it offers an intuitive, streamlined approach to DAM. The structure is set up very well and the ease of use is positive.

Cons

I do not like the export complexities. I wish that it could be preset with optimizing social media images. More AI applications to the software would be better.

### "Good Digital Management platform"

September 13, 2018

5.0

Pros

Like that you can save to your personal “likes”, and that you have the option to download to your personal laptop.

Cons

There is too much old stuff and too many people not updating to current versions, but I think that is an internal issue. Filing by year or archiving would be a good idea

### "Ease of access"

May 25, 2021

5.0

Pros

Implementing Canto to the world of university academia was a breeze. The system is made with the end-user in mind so it is very accessible and easily understood. Whether it is uploading and filing research data or sorting out photo albums Canto guides you to making things work systematically.

Cons

Improvements would regard a small scale linguistic country which has letters that are difficult to pick up when the automatic text is gathered from a document.

The best aspect of Canto is that we gain a corporate tool for all asset management.

### "Good tool but not enough for money"

December 5, 2018

5.0

Pros

Good for organising and tagging our brand assets and stock images and easy for staff to search and find files. You can associate files together which is a handy feature.

Cons

Find it quite expensive and we will probably investigate moving to another cheaper solution soon.

### "Canto Review"

How easy it is to navigate and organize our files, and it keeps their original image quality.

Cons

### "A whole new world. "

September 29, 2020

5.0

Pros

Being in creative and using the software for ad creation and file management has been a life-changer. Being able to crop, resize, and compress images within the platform before downloading is a TIME SAVER. Also being able to layout and customize brand guidelines in such a clean way makes, it that much easier to share with our partners.

Cons

There are a LOT of options. Don't get me wrong, it is good to be able to decide which way to organize, tag and manage your images and creative, but it can get a bit overwhelming at times. Specially at the very beginning.

### "Easy to use!"

November 16, 2021

4.0

Pros

Canto is very easy to use. The folder feature makes it easy to sort through thousands of assets easily.

Cons

There are some limitations as far as leaving comments on assets. Would be great to be able to tag other users as well.

### "An unbelievably well thought out product"

December 19, 2019

5.0

We were originally looking for a photo editor that could be used by many members of our team working across the United States. We had never even heard of Digital Asset Management until we started looking for the editor. To our delight we discovered DAM which solved an even bigger issue we were having - saving our clients' information on a secure server. Canto seemed like the best DAM available. We couldn't be happier. In addition , their customer service is second to none. They feel more like real people helping us grow our business and they make me forget they are an internet service.

Pros

The unbelievable level of control we have over the assets that we store there.

Cons

It has a learning curve that takes some time. But once you know how it works it's not that difficult at all.

### "Canto Review"

September 27, 2018

5.0

I use this software everyday to share files. It has easy-to-use controls to determine who can share and see the content. Its very easy to integrate into our already existing marketing system.

Pros

The software was very simple to use and easy to navigate.

Cons

It freezes upon uploading numerous photos and videos.

### "Excellent Tool for Asset Management "

November 18, 2020

5.0

This is a great tool, it's awesome to have all of our assets in one place to be able to find them and download them quickly.

Pros

Canto is really easy to use. It's a great way to store images. Once the images are tagged and keywords are added, it's very easy to search for specific images within Canto. You can also download the images and resize, crop etc. directly in Canto - this is a great feature. Great to have assets in one place.

Cons

I haven't personally had any difficulties with the tool or any of its functions.

### "Great Product!"

December 16, 2019

5.0

Pros

Canto is so simple to use and the facial recognition is really slick! I also like the portals for outside contributors.

Cons

It is pretty expensive. However, we are not using all the features that come with it. I could see how the price is justified by all the other features that are available.

### "Perfect for customized sharing and permissions"

September 29, 2020

4.0

Pros

Canto solves a problem for us on how to securely store and organize digital assets. I like the customized permissions, portals and customized file structure options. The sharing capabilities are key.

Cons

I don't dislike anything about Canto so far. We still have a lot of features to explore, but I would like to see them add new things like better data and stats for portal-specific views.

Alternatives considered

[Brandfolder](https://www.capterra.com/p/133103/Brandfolder/)[Asset Bank](https://www.capterra.com/p/10010769/Asset-Bank/)

Reason for choosing Canto

We started using the two month trial and liked what we got out of it. Canto also seemed more eager to have us as a customer and was more willing to put in effort up front to take us through demos than the alternatives.

### "My Experience"

September 20, 2018

5.0

Canto software is easy to use and navigate. This allows me to find what is needed at a quicker pace.

Pros

I found the formatting and layout of the Canto software very easy to navigate, which is helpful.

Cons

I found the use of the two downloading buttons on images to be a bit excessive on Canto. The second pop up window is not necessary; it's just extra steps.

### "Good tool for receiving media."

September 16, 2020

4.0

I have found Canto very useful for sharing information in between team members. It ensures that we are looking at the same product that is being worked on by the team.

Pros

This software has allowed information to be distributed and received with ease throughout our team.

Cons

I find the interface at times difficult to seamlessly move from one folder to another, especially from moving from the home page to individual folders.

### "A straightforward digital asset manager"

November 17, 2017

5.0

Pros

Canto is easy and intuitive to use. My favorite feature is the ability to create public links to content, completely removing the need for FTP or Google Drive experiences with vendors or partners.

Cons

As anyone knows, the heavy lifting with any digital asset manager is in the setup. Luckily we had a plan and good partners.

### "Overall, great"

November 5, 2018

4.0

As I mentioned before, working in a global nonprofit, we have over a hundred different projects operating all the world. As the comms department, we have to keep track of all these different assets -- which is much easier with Canto.

Pros

I work for a global nonprofit, so it's amazing to be able to have all our photographic assets from a hundred different projects all over the world in one place. It's especially useful to have the capability to send download and upload links to others in the organization (or our photographers) without having to give them the keys to the entire database.

Cons

We have found Canto to be a bit unwieldy and difficult to organize. Many of the functions are less intuitive than we would like.
