Canto Reviews & Product Details

Canto makes it easy for our team (in different locations) to access, view, and download all of our creative assets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish that the images and videos were displayed at a higher quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s like a search engine—Canto can find photos really quickly, which makes it easy to locate what I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’m very much a folder-structure person, and Canto can sometimes feel like a dumping ground for photos. That said, it works best when you really lean on tags and search to find what you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the portals and the upload links feature. We recently launched Canto in our school and it has worked well so far with the ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the website could use better step by step instruction and guides. I wish that consumer users could upload and create their own content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that all of the resources I need for my company's brand can be found in one place. It is organized neatly and is very user friendly. The performance is always good and efficient, and I haven't had any issues in my time using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The content on Canto is sometimes outdated, making it hard for me to use in my newer projects. I also know some team members have had trouble getting started with the site, though I haven't had that experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of drag and dropping, the AI features. The ease of set-up, being able to sync with dropbox etc. The resources available - Canto Academy, and the support from the team with set-up. Based on the pricing and what is being offered, it is also great value for money, with great storage offered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I dislike about Canto at this point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that you can create albums and folders and that you can define images with tags, keywords, descriptions, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

sometimes it is a little difficult to organize images within an album because of the drag and drop system. When you check an image to move it around, it is a little difficult to see the check mark and also if you accidentally check another image at the same time, it is not very noticeable to see the check mark.

It helps us categorize and arrange assets in a way that makes them easy to access. The performance rate is incredibly high, navigation is easy, and it's a fast system. Canto was very easy for me to use right off the bat to get what I needed for social media posts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have no dislikes regarding the Canto system at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Canto is easy to use. Our business relies on graphics files to run, and Canto allows us to organize those files in a way that we can easily share them internally and externally to improve our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was more functionality for portal layout and reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate how Canto has centralized all our files, which used to be scattered across local drives and shared folders. This has made accessing current versions easy and prevented the need to redo work. It makes grabbing the right asset quick and straightforward, allowing me to focus more on design work instead of searching for files. The search functionality is something I rely on heavily; it saves me minutes by letting me find files immediately without having to dig through folders or ask around. Canto has also simplified sharing files with teammates, so I'm no longer re-sending files multiple times a week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setup is the slow part. Getting the metadata and tagging structure right took some patience, and if you've never touched a DAM before, expect a learning curve. The catch is that it only stays tidy if you tag things properly from day one. Skip that, and keeping it organized later turns into a chore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how well it works with Adobe products. I use Canto Connector every day in InDesign, Illustrator, and PowerPoint, and it makes placing images and keeping links intact much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The search functionality is not what I thought it would be. I wish you could refine the search more in the Canto Connector. I wish the AI abilities for searching did a better job searching text within a PDF or document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
