Canto makes finding the right assets so easy. The Chrome plugin is great - you can find a photo and drag/drop it into your current project without having to open another program. The only downside was how long it took to move all of our assets into the system and organize/tag them. We did it with our in-house marketing team and it was a huge process. Overall, Canto speeds up our day-to-day work, since we're not sifting through folders trying to find the image we're looking for.

When we were on Dropbox, we constantly got confused by duplicates coming from syncing issues. We constantly wanted more features for organizing and searching content. Canto erased all of those issues. It gave us so many features that we now rely on everyday.

Love using Canto. It has streamlined our digital asset management process and has made everything for accessible to our internal and external stakeholders.

It's a visual, web-based DAM that is incredibly easy to use and assessable from anywhere. Canto is incredibly fast and responsive, with all sorts of plug ins and extensions to integrate your favorite browser, file transfer site or software application (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Premier). The Portals & User Permissions allow a lot of fine tuning to ensure each user or team has access to only the assets they should. The admin controls couldn't be easier to use, making managing access through the system a total breeze. The simplicity is and emphasize on clean visuals really puts Canto above most other platforms we've used or demonstrated. Highly recommend others take the time to see what Canto offers and how your company can benefit from what it does best.

Canto is clean, but also flexible. It's perfect for internal use, as well as client use. I can't recommend it enough. Digital asset management is key, and Canto nails it on every front.

Canto is an excellent DAM platform. I chose it for my client because of its robust features and customizable metadata. Implementation was a breeze and onboarding has been smooth. The interface is the best part -- with a team of creatives, they need a very visual and intuitive UI, and that's what they have with Canto. It is priced competitively and you definitely get what you pay for -- so far we've found it to be a very good value. The Adobe Connector is one of the best features for my client. I also love that they frequently release new updates and features that are based on direct feedback from users. I will be recommending Canto to future clients with similar needs in the future.

I set up Cantos original DAM system "Cumulus" at Honda R&D in California more than 10 years ago to help access, secure and organize their tens of thousands of vehicle, facility and product assets. It helped tremendously reduce the time needed to find and download files.The security of our images is most important. To ingest the files and know they are safe and easily found is key. Canto makes a great product used world wide for just this purpose.I recently helped nonprofit Surfing Heritage Cultural Center set up Canto and it helped them realize the value of their images and files.

PROS: It is very user-friendly. It's visual and easy to navigate. It has great search and filter features. You can send people directly to an asset without giving them access to everything. It also includes a portal, which you can brand and make public or private. Great training and support. CONS: You can’t upload a separate cover image for your album; you have to use one that is already in your library; it has to be an actual asset. This is difficult if your album of assets only contains font or color libraries, the thumbnails have no visual. Overall: Canto is a great product. I has lots of features and is reasonably priced compared to other DAMs. We use Canto to house all of our brand assets, collateral, graphics, videos, etc. We also have templates available on Canto, so stakeholders can create simple pieces on their own rather the disturbing the marketing team allowing us to focus on higher priorities.
