Also we loved the search feature and the tagging. > > **Cons**: The way the app loads on a MacBook Retina makes it look a little low quality / not the highly resolution of software design. That part makes it feel a little cheap to be honest? Also I don't like that Canto will reload on you at random times (automatically refresh your browser page), even if you were in the middle of a long scrolled search for specific imagery. It will lose your place and have you start over. > > Overall we had a good experience—the sales team was helpful, the onboarding team not-so-much (which we passed that feedback on accordingly and they listened), so it took my team a little while to get fully up and running using Canto. Now we have fully implemented it across our organization, and I hope Canto continues to grow and improve the product because we hope to use it for years to come. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Effective Tool for Managing Digital Assets" — 4.0/5 > **Jessica** | *19 June 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I appreciate the ability to tag objects, store related information, and recognize faces. \[sensitive content hidden\] has been very helpful, and checking in with him to find out what's happening with Canto never feels like work. The fact that there appears to be an answer to every query I could possibly have impresses me greatly; such materials must have been painstakingly compiled. > > **Cons**: Working with a single sign-on login can be perplexing for those who are only visiting your site and not contributing or consuming content. Less technically competent users may be confused by the steps required to clear cookies and restart the browser. > > Since there is no longer a need for a middleman, the company may more easily acquire the supplies they require. I also like how it serves as a visual record of the development of the business. It has given us a secure channel through which to disseminate resources like guides and movies to the appropriate parties. ----- ### "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
