### "Canto for Field Marketing"

November 15, 2018

5.0

Much greater ease to get relevant marketing assets into the marketplace. Easier to share with designers, printers, customers, everyone. You won't be able to figure out how you've gone without it.

Pros

Easily share the latest digital assets with co-workers and customers.

Cons

Lead administrator must be proactive and dedicated to the site for the best results.

### "A DAM for a 2.2 million acres of biodiversity! "

April 16, 2020

5.0

Pros

The amount of features in Canto is superb. They understood the importance of accessibility and customization when creating this product.

Cons

Not really a con, but some of the features do make other features slightly redundant.

### "Canto has been a lifesaver"

November 5, 2018

4.0

Pros

I love how easy it is to add assets to our library and there are lots of great organizing tools such as keywords, tags, smart tags, folders, etc.

Cons

Some of the features are clunky. Such as the bossy autofill when adding tags, and when you open an image with lots of tags, they don't all show.

### "Canto has simplified my job"

April 3, 2020

5.0

Pros

One of my favorite things, is how easy it is to create albums after events. My admin loads the photos pretty quickly, and I can share albums with corporate partners documenting their sponsorships, and have that documentation to them within the same week. This documentation is so critical to sustaining my sponsors, and for it all to be in one place and easy to distribute, makes my job so much easier.

Cons

For what I use it for, I don't really have anything negative to say. Load time is a bit slow at times, I suppose, but that seems like an issue more on my end depending if I'm on wifi or not.

### "Great having approved assets in one cloud-based database!"

September 20, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like that it is a self-service database where associates can access approved, current assets without having to ask staff to spend time finding or recreating assets. You know the content is approved and ready to use. The Canto drag and drop feature makes adding assets to files super easy. Another great feature is being able to bundle assets into one link to share with clients.

Cons

A built-in connector to SalesForce would be nice.

May 5, 2021

5.0

So far enjoying the product! Especially the ability to easily search files.

Pros

I like the ability to access our files from anywhere without the need for complex server access.

Cons

The inability to work on Adobe files from the server.

### "Good Organization"

November 13, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like how easy it is to organize your files and photos. The tagging option has been super helpful. I also really like how you can sort how you want to view your images.

Cons

When you want to move a folder it can be a little annoying and difficult because you have to drag it.

### "A Simple Way to Find What I Need"

July 23, 2020

4.0

Pros

Before, our photos were saved in various folders throughout a server network. I would often have a photo in mind that I've seen before but not be sure where to find it. Or else I'd have a need for a certain type of photo but have trouble finding one that fit that need. This really simplifies that process.

Cons

The facial recognition is a great feature, but you do have to pay attention to it. If a weird, blurry image gets tagged as a certain person, that error could replicate throughout future uploads.

### "Solved many of our outstanding problems with assets in too many places."

November 17, 2017

4.0

All of our assets in one place - a very easy to use platform with plenty of options and features.

Pros

Ease of use, simple design and layout, great customer service from the Canto team. Always willing to consider updates that solve our questions and concerns.

Cons

Occasional problems with custom fonts and image rendering. Most of our issues are related to unexpected software functions but most are easily resolved once we're familiar with how it works.

### "Functional, mostly-user-friendly database for photo storage."

October 20, 2017

4.0

As a photo database, it is incredibly streamlined & easy to use. We have multiple departments that need access to our photo cache & because it is so streamlined, it is very easy to train other users on best practices for using this product quickly, which makes the database easy to maintain with little oversight.

Pros

The simplicity of the design makes it feel incredibly streamlined. Being able to connect to other Cloud-based storage is very helpful. As a milennial, I find it incredibly user-friendly & intuitive (though my older coworkers still have trouble).

Cons

The search functionality is limiting & easily the hardest process to teach/explain to less savvy coworkers. I would love to see an 'advanced search' feature to search within specific folders, with combined terms, etc. without those different terms being confused in the search.

November 18, 2020

5.0

Pros

Canto allows you to efficiently manage and catalog a large amount of images and photographs. Its strengths are the ease of sharing images and the ease with which you can change the download formats.

Cons

A negative side is the graphic aspect which is perhaps too minimal

### "Positive Canto Experience"

February 25, 2021

5.0

We use Canto to move image files from our digital records management system, where they didn't belong, to the Canto cloud system. Saves a great deal of money.

Pros

Good customer service is critical. Canto has the best customer service response I have ever worked with.

Cons

The permissions and user tiers cause me some grief.

Reason for choosing Canto

The cost and what it could do fit best with our needs.

### "FLIGHT has brought our companies DAM experience into the 21st Century"

November 17, 2017

5.0

Our company now enjoys extra time saved using this tool which before was wasted on an outdated and slow DAM tool. The branded experiences that are seen by our customers help solidify the professional experience they've entered when using FLIGHT.

Pros

The user experience is very intuitive and navigating to find what you need takes seconds. Custom branding and narrowed portal experiences are game changers for our company. The ease of user setup and

Cons

There is very little to complain about when using FLIGHT. I would like to see a more robust brand opener page after sign in much like is seen on the custom portal landing pages.

### "Archivist's Dream"

November 12, 2014

5.0

Canto's Cumulus software has been a wonderful tool for storing and retrieving digital assets. I began as an Archivist with a group who was already using the software, but had not really taken much time to learn what it can do. That was my job. Almost immediately I hit the ground running, and I could not be happier with Cumulus as a tool. It is incredibly customizable, and you can manipulate the software to do pretty much anything digital assets management might require. That might be it's only downside too: The software is so customizable that it may take a little bit f tinkering to get things exactly the way you want them, but their training staff do an excellent job of making sure the users aren't lost in a sea of options. They do a wonderful job of helping you customize the software to make it work for you. I sleep well at night knowing that Cumulus is storing our digital assets, and I do not worry about data loss. Cumulus is digital assets management at its finest.
