Canto is a great media data asset management platform that helps us to organize and categorize a wide bunch of images, videos, and other documents of our company. Many of the functions are very helpful, e.g. the searchability and customizing collections of assets to share it with our partners and TPAs is really valuable!

Two Thumbs up for Canto! My favorite thing about Canto is it's ease of use. It reminds me of iTunes a bit, there are several ways to search for assets which make it very easy for users to locate assets. I come from a background of keywords and tags and appreciate the way it is laid out in Canto and as an administrator I also love the reporting aspect, specifically the metadata activity metrics. Another huge plus is the external connections you can link to upload from Dropbox and Google Drive. Finally their implementation team and account support is top notch. They followed through with anything we asked of them and made sure we were well trained and ready to train others. We continue to have monthly meetings with them and I learn something new every time that makes me more impressed with Canto. I highly recommend! I really don't have a whole lot to complain about. I would just recommend that before your team is ready to upload from an external connection into Canto, make sure you do some up front work in your existing file structure. It makes the upload much easier, it's hard to change the file structure once assets are uploaded into Canto but there are workarounds. Canto's DAM has helped us get our assets into a central and easily accessible location. No more worrying about what happens if a hard drive is lost!

It’s no exaggeration to say that Canto is My Hero right now! We finished migrating our assets and started using Canto just a few weeks before our US team was ordered to work from home due to the Coronavirus (our international team has already gone through this). I don’t think we would have all been able to keep working with the product we were using before. With Canto, our domestic and international teams can work together seamlessly from anywhere. And those of us with access to domestic servers can continue to load new assets that were previously unavailable to our design team overseas. As a provider for the agriculture supply chain we are considered an “essential business” and this is becoming a very busy time for us. I’m grateful we’ve been able to get up and running so quickly, and that Canto is so easy to use that the learning curve is almost nonexistent. The best thing about Canto is that it just works exactly the way you expect it to. Even before I went through the official training, I found it super intuitive -- easy to upload files, easy to find them again, easy to use them with a huge range of design tools (we mostly use it with Adobe Creative Suite). Version control is going to be very helpful for us. I’m also stoked that it’s so easy to customize for our workflow. And the customer service we’ve experienced so far has also been top notch -- friendly, knowledgeable, and FAST. We love you Canto!

We use Canto to manage most of our digital assets. It is a great timesaver. Having all our corporate assets in one place at my finger tips makes my projects flow much more smoothly. I no longer have to chase people down for what I need. Also, now that we have Canto, most stake holders in the company have access to our digital assets. I no longer need to spend time gathering files for others.

We've been Canto customers for almost a year. The shining star of the entire show is the Customer Service. A++++ My only difficulty has been struggling - as a one-person shop - with uploading image files with our weak broadband capacity. We have tested it on a select group of clients but our full launch has been stalled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. SO our issues are internal ones and have nothing to do with this great tool.

What i like the most: - User administrating - Statistics about the data (now we can also use different pictures in the whole company and see directly which one we use the most) - Sharing function for the press, doctors and employees - Cropping function - different versions of the data - folder upload of data What I dislike: -missing cms function (f.e. typo3) for a directly connecting. You need a extra licence for it General information: We have nearly 20.000 pictures and other data in the company (5.400 employees, >20 sub companies) we need to administrate and share. Canto helps us a lot to organize the whole process in the headquartner. Now we have time for other things.

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.
