What stands out most about Canto is how it brings structure to asset management. Having a single library for images, videos and documents makes it easier for teams to work with the correct files. Version control and permissions helps ensure that outdated or unapproved assets aren't accidentally used. The preview options and sharing links also make collaboration with external stakeholders more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Canot works best once eveything is properly organized, but getting to that point requires effort. Uploading large libraries and setting metadata rules can be time consuming. The interface is clean, but some actions take a few clicks more than expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Canto makes it much easier to manage a large number of images, videos, and documents without relying on shared drives. The ability to tag assets, add metadata, and preview files quickly helps our team find what they need without asking around. sharing files with external partners is straightforward and permissions help as your only approved assets are used.

Getting everything organised at the beginning requires planning and time. If tags and folders aren't setup properly the library can become messy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the AI integration in Canto where it makes my work so much easier and faster. I just type in a keyword, and it instantly finds the images I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would prefer having a desktop version of the software instead of relying solely on the web-based application. Similar to Dropbox, I believe this would help improve accessibility and performance, as the current loading time for Canto is quite slow and can sometimes cause inconvenience for end users.

The integrations are particularly useful for remote workers who use InDesign. They help my team work from anywhere while ensuring that their files remain stored in a secure, backed-up environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have encountered some challenges with mapping metadata fields during our migration. This feature is essential for us, and we are eager to see it resolved soon. Customer support has been making a strong effort to help us address this issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Canto has allowed my team to organize our content in a way that makes sense for us and our customers who have access to our Brand Portal. I enjoy the ability to tag, keyword, and cross assign assets to multiple folders where needed, instead of having to upload the same file several times in different folders.

There can be a bit of a learning curve in terms of best-practices on how to best organize your content, but their webinars and new updates have made it more self-explanatory. It's not a one-size-fits-all, but if you put in the strategy and work to create a system that works best for you, it will be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My experience with this platform has been nothing but positive. One of my favorite features in Canto is how easy it is to manage file updates. I can simply replace an existing file without needing to delete or reupload anything, and all the previous versions are stored in the version history for easy reference. This makes asset management incredibly efficient. It’s intuitive and saves me a lot of time when uploading and sorting content.

As a creative designer using Canto daily, I rely on it heavily throughout my workflow. It’s a dependable resource I constantly reference while developing new materials. On top of that, the customer support team is always quick to respond and very helpful whenever I need assistance. Canto is extremely user friendly, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone managing a large volume of digital assets across teams or departments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only area of Canto that I find slightly inconvenient is the need to create albums within folders, rather than being able to drop files directly into a folder. That said, I understand this structure supports better organization, so I wouldn't necessarily change it. Another thing that would be helpful is when you delete files if you are able to just delete a version versus the whole item. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about canto is how quickly you are able to view assets once you've uploaded them. The search works really well, and there's loads of time saving features like AI tagging and creating upload links so that our photographers can upload directly into the system. It's been very straight-forward to implement and it's naturally integrated in our workflow. We use Canto most days and its reliable and does a great job of helping us find the right images so we can focus on design. On a few occasions where we've needed additional support, the customer support has been excellent and you feel valued as a customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like any big business, they are led by their clients and build their platform in response to the different scales and requirements that they need. As a smaller use case, some of the new features like Brand Studio look amazing, but they aren't realistic for us as our requirements are weighted differently to the different packages they offer. In an ideal world I'd love to see a basic package with one admin, then the option to add additional template and exports so that it works for our use case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
