Private and public portals allow our team to curate landing pages and libraries most relevant to our target users and teams based around the globe (including multi-lingual support). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Canto? We found it was easier to upload collateral in smaller batches to maintain data clarity, SEO fields, tagging rules, and overall ease-of-use for our end-users. The only feature we have had continued difficulty with is the relevance of the search bar functionality (we've gotten around this by utilizing custom fields and built-in filters). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Canto solving and how is that benefiting you?

Digital Asset Manager Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/2/2026 "User-Friendly File Organization with Powerful, Secure Asset Sharing" 4/5 What do you like best about Canto? The way Canto organizes files is very user-friendly. Its management system is powerful and supports automatic asset management, which really impressed me. On top of that, content can be shared securely with other users while still maintaining copyright and brand integrity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Canto? What I’m not entirely convinced about is the pricing, since it feels quite high for such basic functions. I’ve also seen many users comment that the advanced search isn’t always efficient or consistent, which has sometimes led them to search for files manually instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Canto solving and how is that benefiting you? Canto has been very efficient for me. I manage a large number of digital files, and this tool is secure and fast for distributing and finding them. It’s also easy to use, and it has saved me from having to search for photos manually.

I appreciate how Canto helps with organization and access across departments, making it easier to locate and share files. The AI search is incredibly useful, saving us time that we used to spend searching for photos across various platforms like our server and Google Drive. Since using Canto, finding what we need has become significantly easier. Setting up Canto was very easy, and the onboarding training they provided was helpful. I also like that whenever we need assistance, they are quick to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Canto? The integrations. Box.com integration is not working properly. Google Drive is better - however, it does take time for Canto to discover my folder structure. The previous version, around 2022-2023 all you had to do was provide the sharing link to the Google Drive folder, which didn't take as long. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't think I use it as much as I'd like to pinpoint what I don't like about Canto, but one note is when I add an asset to multiple folders, say I have 3 different brands but each have the same folder name, I can't tell which one is for which brand when I search it.

I love the ability to create custom filters so we can organize all our documentation and find everything in the least amount of clicks possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Canto? I think the emphasis on visual search features makes companies like ours feel like an after thought sometimes. We have mostly excel type files we share and we cannot search them as thoroughly and they are not live editable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Canto solving and how is that benefiting you? We have thousands of files that have to be sorted out by client and type of file, so the custom filter feature has helped us greatly to make it easier for our team to click and find what they are looking for without searching and/or sifting through 100's of documents at a time.

I really like how you can tweak your own workspace to fit your individual workflow with Canto. We enjoy using portals, especially when working with different external stakeholders who need access to different files, and it's easy to manage and edit that access. I appreciate that we can change the status of assets and add expiration dates, so we don't violate our licensing contracts. I also really like that we can update assets with new and approved versions of the same image. Plugging Canto links into Asana helps us track projects and share links with the team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Canto? I think the platform is perfectly suited for photos but I find with videos it would be great to be able to have time stamps or some other way of organizing what is within the video itself. I also find that the new search bar shouldn't have to require you to put "" around things in order to only look up that very specific SKU. The search bar without the quotation marks casts too large of a net and things that shouldn't end up populating which confuses some team members. No one I know uses the personal collections for their account, so maybe finding a new way to communicate what that is for or just removing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Canto for photo asset sharing and management. It streamlines the sharing process, making it easy to share collections multiple times with different partners or vendors. I appreciate the ease of sharing and collection creation. It's straightforward to create a collection to share with other people by selecting assets and files. It's also easy for our partners to download the files in their original format or as high-resolution files. The initial setup of Canto was pretty easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Canto? I don't like the way it's hard to search for files sometimes, especially when it has been placed in folders. It's hard to search items if not tagged properly.
