This tool is a good cloud storage solution. We have been using this tool for almost 2 years now. My only complaint is the UI. It’s not very intuitive at times.

Easy to use
Easy layout in order to understand how to set up reviews and send out emails. Simple interface and setup. Would recommend to colleagues and other companies to capture accurate reviews of your services.
Great way to have a centralized image gallery!
The simple design and intuitive interface of Canto makes archiving and retrieving images or other documents quick and easy. When onboarding images, take the time to properly tag everything so finding specific photos later on will be easy. Once you begin typing a tag into the search filter, images will begin to quickly populate the desktop are of Canto's user interface. Despite being an online archive, thumbnails appear faster than if I were simply browsing my PC using Windows Explorer!
Canto Review
Adding and sharing files to Canto is quick and easy. I love that files can be downloaded immediately, no matter how large the file may be. This has helped create a smoother workflow for me and my colleagues. I have been really happy with my experience so far!
I like the ease of use
I like the ease of use. The navigation is very simple. Also the ease of sharing data amongst different departments in our company, as well as with our retailers.
Excellent Program. A must have if you are a marketer
Excellent program to house your collateral material. Its simple and easy to use and search for files. I work for a regional company and this makes sharing and downloading marketing materials easy.
A good product to start with in digital asset management
Canto has made managing our digital assets and sharing across our design team and enterprise far easier than with our previous tools. It automatically makes metadata searchable, and it's pretty easy to import assets from old systems.
I'd like more integration with Adobe Creative Cloud software. There is an InDesign plugin, but similar tools for other programs would be helpful. The organizational structure can be a little clunky and limiting, due to this being a web-based tool.
We struggled with finding digital assets before Canto, and our previous tools didn't allow for shared access. Now our whole team has access to all our assets, and sharing outside the team is easy.
Canto is a very user friendly platform
Canto is a very user friendly platform. I do not know how I was able to work without it! I use it daily to upload and share thousands of assets for customers and suppliers
Non Profit Canto user
Canto solved a lot of problems for us. Instead of having our assets in 10 different places, we have them in one place, and they're organized.
This is a great choice for…Photographers at Large Organizations
This is a great choice for photographers who shoot almost on a daily basis and cover a wide variety of events. The tags and keywords help me sift through 20-30k photos to find the exact one I'm searching for. This software also enables me to quickly share the photos with clients I shoot for.
Canto is overpriced and extremely slow
Canto is overpriced and extremely slow. Downloading and viewing photos takes too long. The organization/asset management features are good.
It makes sharing and approving photos…
It makes sharing and approving photos much faster and easier.
Canto digital asset management tool makes my life so much easier.
Canto digital asset management tool makes my life so much easier.
Pros:
Easy categorization and tagging of media.
Powerful search capabilities.
Incredibly easy sharing of assets with clients and vendors.
Cons:
I wish that information was better presented to the end user so certain asset data points (photographer, credit info, etc.) are more prominent and unmissable.
Canto helps with digital asset management and distribution. Easy control of our thousands and thousands of images, videos, etc.
Easy organizing system and interface.
Great customer service
We purchased a canto subscription this summer and have been very happy with the service so far. Customer support is amazing, very friendly, patient, helpful, and knowledgeable. If you have a lot of assets and can afford it i would recommend purchasing the data migration add on so you don't have to do it yourself.
HUGE time saver for marketing photo archives
Canto has been a HUGE time saver for the management of our marketing photo archives. Whenever we need a specific file (a person smiling near a particular landmark, a crowd shot of a particular stage featuring a particular artist, etc) we can find it quickly and easily. we can also compile and share smaller collections of photos with partners and co-workers.
Canto fit our needs perfectly
Canto fit our needs perfectly. We are smaller company, but with thousand of images. Canto allows us to easily search and share files so we can communicate more effectively with our clients.
Functional and Effective
Canto is a really robust solution for managing assets for both internal and external use-cases. With a wide array of tools to help structure a customized workflow, Canto is a very versatile solution. There are many functions available that I have yet to utilize, which goes to show that it is a platform that offers solutions for varying use-cases.
I use Canto's Flight for digital asset…
I use Canto's Flight for digital asset management. We've used Flight for a couple of years now at my company. Canto makes it super easy to share, filter, and search our thousands of assets. You can also customize the UI so it fits your needs and your branding.
Canto is a great digital asset…
Canto is a great digital asset management software! I would recommend to anyone looking to store, tag and manage photographs and video.
I like canto for the most part
I like canto for the most part, easy to use and upload, no real problems except for searching sometimes can be difficult, I have to make sure I check off a certain box “search within results” otherwise nothing will come up.
