The flexibility in how to manage the filing of assets is also very good. > > **Cons**: As we have a very large number of assets in our account, there is room for improvement with the image search functionality. > > Overall, it continues to be a key tool for our organization that meets all of the requirements we have. ----- ### "A worthwhile upgrade for asset storage" — 5.0/5 > **Samantha** | *7 January 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's hard for me to even pick\! We are coming from a very limited system, so the tagging and search capabilities have been a huge time save for my team. I also love the ability to have photos in multiple albums, the upload links are great, and the system is really easy to navigate. > > **Cons**: The portals landing pages are a little limited in design capabilities, but nothing that would make me not want to use the system. > > The overall experience has been wonderful. The onboarding team was really great and helped problem solve and set up a new and effective system. ----- ### "Canto Can Do A Lot\!" — 4.0/5 > **Andrew** | *4 March 2021* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: For us, it boils down to ease of use. Our entire company uses this software to view, upload and share content and there is very little need to train employees on its functionality. > > **Cons**: I wish it could help us to identify and remove duplicates more easily. I also wish it was mandatory to include image tags, possibly even a predetermined set of image tags so images can always be saved to the correct location and thus be more easily found/searched for. > > Overall this is a very powerful asset management tool and we have 100% confidence in it. ----- ### "Stay Organized In Style - Great for Multiple Users" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *23 July 2020* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: We decided to use Canto because of many features including the design, customizability, customer service, large thumbnails, organizational structure, tagging feature, and portal for outside consumers. > > **Cons**: You really need an organized person to keep this DAM working for everyone in your company/business so that the organizational structure makes sense. The less cooks in the kitchen, the better - one person should really spearhead the overall design, tags and org. Overall it works for High-Ed. Must pay attention to the little things (like expiring links to photos or albums) - can get tedious and redundant where you need to fix links if you don't pay attention to these things in the beginning. > > Overall the experience has been good - customer service is prompt and helpful and they respond quickly to issues. Overall it serve the purpose of organizing, tagging, filtering, searching, downloading and sharing. The feedback has been positive from other users, so long as they can find what they are looking for (and this is due to whomever is in charge, tagging, and doing the organizing). This is not a product that will take care of itself, you need an administrator that is working in the product on a regular basis to make it work. ----- ### "Efficient tool allows our creatives to thrive" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *13 November 2020* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: • One source of truth for a wide range of assets • Prevents access and server issues with a team spread throughout the country • Easy to use and deploy, while constantly refining structure and strategy • Branded portals allow our employees to self-serve versus manually managing daily requests > > **Cons**: • Interface can be clunky; needs a modern refreshed makeover\! • More style guides to customize for different needs and brands within one organization > > Awesome tool that has kept out large team aligned and on the same page. ----- Page: 1 / 29\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/436357/canto?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/436357/canto) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
