Canto Reviews & Product Details

It's so easy to share specific photos with people with links, and the integration into Canva has been really helpful as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tagging photos can be tedious, and sometimes a tag is missed, or when someone is searching for a photo they are using a different keyword than what is listed. It would be great if Canto could recognize photo elements automatically and allow search through that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Canto is the "Portals" feature, which makes sharing our content incredibly simple. Instead of making people dig through messy folders or giving external vendors full access to our system, we can just build a quick, curated collection of files for them.

The UI/UX is clean and straightforward, and the integrations with Adobe Creative Cloud mean our design team never has to waste time jumping between apps to sync their work. It has great performance with zero lag, giving us a massive ROI on saved time. An unexpected bonus is the automatic version control, which guarantees nobody accidentally uses an outdated logo.

The biggest downside is the pricing structure and the initial setup time. Canto can get pretty expensive for smaller teams, and some of the cooler features or extra user seats require pricey add-ons. Also, getting everything organized at the beginning takes a lot of manual work. While the AI auto-tagging helps speed things up, we still had to spend a lot of time cleaning up tags manually during onboarding to make sure our search system worked perfectly.

I like having the ability to organize our assets on a portal that can be customized to be internal-facing or customer-facing. We provide assets to both our internal teams and also external, and having the option to hide or offer specific groups of assets in our library is key. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to be able to send a file path link versus a share link to some of our internal users as they can sometimes use assistance in locating new assets and the only way is to offer a share link as of now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Layout when you are in the main library, general intuitiveness of the platform, easy accessability for those who aren't power users, ease of search, and support with onboarding! is that too many things? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think there are some UX features that could be better. I find that when I am working in it things are really good and go really really well until I hit a wall that feels like it should be more simple to overcome. a good example is portals. They are great and easy to set up, but customizing is super hard Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like having all of our assets in one place with Canto because it's been a huge time-saver for us. The ability to easily search and locate assets makes Canto our source of truth for templates and helps streamline our workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve for some of the features has been time-consuming, although our onboarding rep Kevin and the tutorials helped a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the use of tags/categories/folders. Organization is key! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I get lost in my navigation. Using the "Back" button doesn't always take me where I think it will. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The organization options of assets, the sharing features, and we love the portals! Such a fantastic way to share specific assets internally and externally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be helpful to be able to have a selection option for folders/albums in the folder tree without actually opening the folder/album itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The AI search and facial rec. Along with ease of use and implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not being able to have a database upload of users so we can have multiple B2B customers log-in to just download images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how user-friendly Canto is. There are so many little ways to organize information using different tags and keywords, which is really helpful. I like the AI features; they are definitely helpful in today's day and age with DAM management. Canto's AI facial recognition is fantastic, especially for a large healthcare system like ours with over 13,000 employees. It significantly cuts out a lot of guesswork in organizing photos. I find the AI features intuitive and super helpful for my job, making it a lot easier for me and our clients. I'm really happy that our company chose this platform, and I think it's a great product. I absolutely love the AI capabilities, and these are some of the things that really stand out to me. Also, the Canto team has been really supportive, which has made everything pretty smooth.

I think Canto has maybe a little too many options for certain things; there's a lot of different boxes that you can check, and some things are redundant. There's just so many little nuanced options, and things can sometimes get a little confusing. Overall it's a lot of trial and error to see what we can figure out that works the best for me and my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate Canto's ability to help me organize images, track approvals, and record associated metadata effortlessly. Its AI-enabled search feature is truly impressive and has significantly enhanced its capabilities. It's incredibly effective in finding the right assets, even when dealing with a large library and using complex clinical terminology. This accuracy is critical, especially since the images I manage are often technical and clinical. Canto's highly accurate results, even with nuanced clinical terms, have been a game-changer. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy, which made the transition seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have multiple teams sharing our Canto instance. The way libraries are structured means that we have to share metadata fields, rather than being able to customize at the library level. There are workarounds, but it would be nice if, for instance, when one team wants to make a certain metadata field required on upload, we didn't all have to follow that one team's rule.
