Canto Reviews in May 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

We bought Canto as we needed a repository for finished assets

We bought Canto as we needed an alternative to the livedocs and sales repositories. We chose this product because it was simple and not intimidating while providing things like portals, easy upload and download, metatagging, search etc etc. We have found it satisifies our needs and we are glad we chose this option.

Canto is not the best, but better than nothing

Canto is way better than trying to sort through photos on Finder or Dropbox. You can tag images and put them in folders and search for key words. I like that you can also sort by pending/approved/rejected. It helps us keep photos organized by style, season, color, etc. I like that you can share folders with certain people.The software is not very intuitive. The sorting by date hardly works, it is very finicky. The "zoom" boxes are more distracting than useful. Portals don't sync well. ...

Canto Digital Asset Management

Canto Digital Asset Management has been an important part in our file sharing and organizing within my team. It has been a huge asset to our group.

Stepped Up Our DAM Game

What do you like best? 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. What do you dislike? Mass ...

Canto to the Rescue!

Canto has helped organize all of our digital assets in one convenient place that internal and external stakeholders can easily access.

Efficient + Visual DAM System

First off, their customer service is amazing. I have a direct contact with someone at Canto and it's a breeze to get help with anything that comes up. Including questions that I have while I was discovering and learning the system. Our company needed a DAM system that was advanced. We needed it to be visual, intuitive for the users and have detailed meta data, and info attached to the assets. Canto does it all plus so much more! Some of the best qualities about Canto are its visual set up, ...

Hours and hours of saved time!

I can't even imagine how many hours I will save since implementing this software. My company has nearly seven years of content on one non-searchable server. When we needed files it took hours and days to find what we needed. And in some cases we knew the content existed, but couldn't locate it so we had to redo it. Adding the tags and description to each file is time consuming, but I know after I am done I will never have to worry about finding that file again, even years down the road. The ...

Saved so much time not hunting for photos

We have saved so much time not hunting for our photos. Although the filtering and tagging system is a little hard to learn at first, overall the experience and customer service is great.
