I chose Canto for its ease of use (UX) and reasonable price tag were easily the deciding factor for an organization our size (less than 50 people). Being able to add metadata, include geo-location of the photo, and managing duplicates/versioning are some of my favorite features of Canto. It also doesn't hurt that I can access the DAM assets using some of my favorite Adobe products. Lastly, they're always adding new features. Building out the folders can feel a bit clunky, but you quickly get use to it. Dragging a 'collection' from one folder to another folder isn't really as simple as I think it should be. Our organization primarily needed a library so that our team could share assets with one another. We create a lot of our own assets (photos, videos, illustrations, etc...), and we needed place that would be easily accessed from anywhere as well as place for storage and safe keeping. The biggest asset for me is that I can edit an image and change the versioning directly in the software. That allows other designers/digital producers to use the best version of that photo rather than starting from scratch every time. Creating a portal is also incredibly beneficial when you need to share your assets with media contacts. Easy to setup and easy to share.
