Canto is a robust asset management platform. It helps us organize and categorize our massive library of images, video, and other documents pertaining to our brand. The ability to search and create custom collections of assets to share with our partners and vendors is really valuable.

I was looking for a photo editor that could be used by all of our employees when I stumbled upon Canto. I had never even heard of Digital Asset Management (DAM) but once I read up on it I realized I could solve much bigger issues than just photo editing. I own an architectural firm and keeping important records safe and out of the wrong hands has been something we have been struggling with for decades. DAM solves it all and there is no better product in my opinion than Canto. The amount of control we have over every aspect of every single document is uncanny. And as good as this product is, Canto is best when it comes to customer integration, training and support. They work with you one on one to the point you forget you found them online. And the continual updating of their product is simply amazing. New upgrades are coming out about every 3 months complete with a webinar explaining all the new features. I can't say enough about how impressed I am with Canto - the product and the company culture.

Overall we love Canto as an organization. It makes my job so much easier than if I just had to search through hard drives and remember where everything was like I used to. I Love the ability to keyword and tag all of our photography, then search through thousands of photos quickly and easily. Also the ability to select a few photos and make a link to just those photos that I can send to people is something I use almost every day. The new facial recognition also works well too.

Canto has been a great tool to help us manage all of our digital assets and allow for ease of access to assets across departments.

Positives: The ease with which metadata tagging can be accomplished is likely the greatest strength for our use of this product. We've managed to create a keyword/tag database that now allows us to navigate our full media catalog with ease, and has made our workflow infinitely more streamlined. The branding guideline and adobe integration is definitely an additional benefit we're looking to utilize to its fullest shortly. Negatives: We operate in a segment with non-standard products so, unfortunately, we can't use the "smart tagging" system to its full potential.However, for tagging the "minutia" (As we call it) within the photo, but not necessarily the focus, the smart tagging system is great. Summary: We've had a very positive experience with the platform overall. We're nearly 4 months into our subscription and still feel like we're at the tip of the iceberg. We're anxious to utilize the client portal feature and have our install teams remotely uploading images from our work sites to be curated and cataloged. Why Did We Initially Choose Canto: Price and functionality. The adobe integration was also key. On top of this, our customer service experience while dealing with Canto during the shopping phase was far superior

Our marketing team rolled out Canto earlier this year and it's been a big help. Before moving to Canto our documents and product pictures were all located on a shared google drive. It worked while the team was small but as we've grown and added a lot of content it became unwieldy. Since implementing Canto the sales team is using a lot more of the content that marketing produces and relevant product pictures are significantly easier to find.

Canto has really streamlined our process, and it has allowed us to MUCH more easily share things with our team across the state. The start-up process was rough and a bit confusing, but we have been able to really jump into using the system more as we understand it. The support team rolling out updates and creating a better product over time is amazing. It makes me confident that the product can only get better!

I think this is the bast DAM I have ever used. Works great. A little bit of a pain having to login all the time though.
