Overall, Great

Overall, Canto is a great product. I work in a global nonprofit, and we have to manage assets (mostly photos) from over fifty projects in more than 100 countries. Needless to say, this turns out to be quite the challenge -- but with Canto, it's much simpler. We love having the capability to share upload and download links, whether with others in our organization or outside contracted photographers, without handing over the keys to the whole database. This allows us to maintain a modicum of ...

Canto has been a lifesaver

Canto has been a lifesaver! We have thousands of images we go through daily and have not had an effective way to search and organize until Canto. This is literally saving us hours every day.

Overall, Great

What do you like best? It's particularly useful to have the capability to share upload and download links, whether with others in our organization or with outside photographers, without giving them the keys to the whole database. This keeps Canto functional while still providing us as the administrators with a modicum of quality control (which is very important in an organization like ours. What do you dislike? Overall, I think the navigation is counterintuitive and difficult to use. ...

Time saver!

What do you like best? Canto has saved us so much time in tracking down and finding assets and freed us up to better use that time to improve other pieces within our business. Allowing more people to have access to final pieces instead of a few people having access to the server to find things has been so helpful. What do you dislike? We haven't been able to find anything we dislike about Canto yet! What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? ...

Using Canto for over a year

My team has been using Canto for over a year. It's been a huge improvement over keeping our photography library buried in a series of subfolders and has made it easier for us to share and store photos and videos with vendors, partners, and colleagues. The UX has steadily improved over the last year with a few quirks that aren't too bad once you get the hang of it.

Its an Amazing Platform!

Canto has made it extremely easy for our reps to have access to all kinds of files including logos, infographics, headers, invitations and so much more. The way it allows you to tag and flag items make it so easy to find when you need them! The layout is extremely easy to navigate as well!

Canto Is great for every type of company

What do you like best? I like how easy it is to navigate the platform. The layout is easy to use and the way Canto allows you to tag, name and categorize each item makes finding anything you need a breeze! What do you dislike? It would be nice if you could save and edit actual file types instead of just images, however, I still don't have any complaints. Recommendations to others considering the product It's great for all types of companies, especially because we all send and share ...

Canto is a great solution, and cost effective.

Canto has been a great asset for us. We implemented a year ago and have been populating it little by little in order to capture all the necessary metadata. Overall it is a great database solution, especially at the price point. The competition was more expensive. I like the customization features and the clean layout. There are a few things that would be nice to have preference settings for in order to fine tune it, but in general those are very few. The time savings for me personally are ...

Canto is Constantly Improving!

What do you like best? 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 What do you dislike? We've had trouble with certain albums being unable to download. We're not sure why this is the case but ...
