### "Canto Review"

November 20, 2018

3.0

Pros

You can pre-set when for each files you have uploaded to become visible. It's very convenient when handling files for monthly new releases.

Cons

You cannot search multiple products by entering multiple part number in the search box. Very inconvenient.

### "easy as it seems"

April 6, 2020

5.0

Pros

easy setup easy user-management easy tagging of data/files easy up-/download

Cons

nothing to compare yet, the only thing on user-side was that it's no totally self-explaining and that people need a small tutorial.

### "Archivist's Dream"

November 12, 2014

5.0

Canto 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 Canto 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 Canto is storing our digital assets, and I do not worry about data loss. Canto is digital assets management at its finest.

Canto helps our company organize all of our digital assets and makes it easy for us to share files with others.

### "Great for File Sharing Across Company"

November 10, 2020

4.0

Pros

Canto is one of the best platforms I have used to share media across different teams within a company. I am able to use assets that are uploaded by another team for my own team's marketing purposes.

Cons

The user interface could be more intuitive. For example, mass downloads of media assets would be great or a single download function button on an image without having to click into the image.

### "New User"

November 18, 2020

4.0

Pros

So far my team values the collaborative features of the software available to them

Cons

Probably the costs associated with the tool are difficult. Since we don't necessarily use the most robust features, the membership fee is a little steep

### "Robust platform for digital asset management. Great improvement over our previous software package."

November 27, 2017

5.0

Pros

The search function is very easy to use. Keywords can be searched from any page or album. Intuitive interface.

Cons

The differences between tagging & keywords is confusing. More clarity needed to define and differentiate the terms.

### "Effective Tool for Asset Management"

December 16, 2019

4.0

Pros

Canto is easy to use. You can search for tagged photos easily and share them with others in seconds.

Cons

I wish there was a way to select pictures from multiple folders at once to share them.

### "Canto is a great asset!"

July 23, 2020

5.0

Pros

We love that Canto makes it so easy to keyword, tag, and describe each photo we own to make it easier for us to find them in the future. The facial recognition is an amazing feature for Canto.

Cons

We have found it challenging to find time to upload the photos and add the tags, so we have a volunteer coming in to help us with this. It is a lot of initial work to set up Canto but it is definitely worth it!

### "Review from a Marketing Coordinator "

September 10, 2018

5.0

Very good experience - truly a great fit for the company and project I am working for.

Pros

Very easy to navigate and intuitive to use - was not given much direction or instruction on how the software worked but I picked up quickly. Good looking aesthetic - I am in it often and I enjoy looking at it (nothing worse than staring at a screen you think is hideous).

Cons

Some buttons are missing - for example, an 'unrelate button'. I accidentally related 25 photos to each other and had to manually unrelate them all.

### "Flight is a super creative asset management system and at a great price."

October 20, 2017

5.0

We have saved tremendous amounts of time organizing, finding, and sharing our creative content. It has been a game-changer for us.

Pros

The tagging, sorting, organizing, searching, and sharing options with Flight are intuitive, robust, and also simple. There are a lot of complicated products on the market, but this one feels like it was designed with creative teams in mind, not to be overly technical.

### "After initial start-up challenges, Canto has remained stable and support has improved."

September 25, 2017

3.0

Pros

It's highly customizable with options for virtually any workflow you would like to build. I feel ours is rather complicated, but it was able to adjust to our process.

Cons

As one of the first installs with cloud storage, we definitely had some stability problems in the beginning. Lots of bugs to squash and server issues. Since then, many of those issues have been ironed out with improved customer service.

### "Canto Review"

April 3, 2020

5.0

Pros

I liked the easiness of uploading images and finding images quickly so I don't have to dig through a bunch of unnecessary photos. I can look up a keyword and the photo will appear.

Cons

It doesn't filter out bad or pix-elated images. We have to filter those out ourselves.

Thank you for your review of Canto, Emily! An account manager will follow up with you about filtering images. Thanks again!

### "Well designed and easy to use!"

November 24, 2021

5.0

Pros

Very easy for new users to jump in and get started, and importing images from G Drive is a breeze. We appreciated that they provide a demo for us to try before we committed to anything. The onboarding has been extremely helpful and they continue to provide support to help us with anything that comes up. Video transcription is also a very useful tool.

Cons

There are no cons that we can see at this time.

### "Great Product for Large Teams"

November 17, 2017

5.0

The ability to house all of the organization's digital assets in one place is the main benefit. One strength of Canto is the ability to then set permissions and to organize assets into groups and folders so that they can be found easily by the departments that own them. Canto also gave users without design software the ability to crop and edit photos and videos for the first time. Our graphic designer no longer has to take time to grab video clips or to resize photos.

Pros

\- easy, reliable mass uploading tools - auto-tags and sorts files into usable groups - ability to pull in meta-data from photo files - ability for all users to edit and crop photos and videos

Cons

\- a web application so it is dependent on internet speed - requires a little management time to review and assist a large number of users

The ai tagging of images is a must have feature.

Cons

### "Smart Search!"

April 3, 2020

4.0

We started using Dropbox as a repository for all ready-to-use media, but as the company grew we needed something that allowed us to save time with recurring tasks like resizing assets or creating special folders with duplicated assets to be shared outside the organization.

Pros

Being able to have the same asset displayed in different albums without having to deal with duplicated assets.

Cons

The user interface design is a little dated in comparison with other companies, but it does what is supposed to do, so not the prettiest, but it works.

### "Canto did a great job at LDRLY"

March 3, 2021

4.0

I really enjoyed working with Canto and I am looking forward to including all our games and files on it and use it in the future as well.

Pros

I really enjoyed using the direct GD upload function, tagging, searching the files and being able to relate files is a great feature. Portals are also amazing for sharing files with outside partners.

Cons

Probably speed at certain moments (although not all the time) and smoothing out the GD connectivity (just making sure the sync works flawlessly). Also being able to see which files were automatically uploaded in a more prominent place would be amazing (currently it's not that clear)

Reason for choosing Canto

Functions/ROI/price and really what options we might need now and in the next period

### "Mind-blowing Digital Assets Management"

September 16, 2020

5.0

Canto is a great tool to manage all our assets in the company. The graphic team uses it to organize and store all our images which were a mess before Canto. Our RD department uses it to share all documentation between our different teams and our customer. Instead of having our images located to multiple locations, having it stored into a Dam is a big win for our company! On the downside, the API usage is kinda hard to make it work correctly. Unless you have a dedicated expert development team, it can be hard to use.

Pros

Very easy to use. UI is well builded. Canto team is always available to help if difficulties. AI for tagging is really effective

Cons

API can be hard to use if you don't have an expert development team.

### "Canto is an excellent DAM with a lot of functionality. "

September 11, 2017

5.0

Pros

The software allows as many catalogs as needed. It also works inside the Adobe Creative Suite so designers don't have to get out of InDesign or Photoshop to get images. The web version, Canto Sites, allows sharing of assets with outside freelancers and vendors.

Cons

There is a big learning curve and while customer support is great, training is limited and/or expensive.

July 24, 2020

4.0

Pros

It's a great way for us to have all of our collateral to use all in one place and organized and easily searchable.

Cons

I think it's more around how our organization uses it, but the content we post there isn't always uploaded super quickly.
