Canto Reviews & Insights

Canto has been a blessing so far for our organization in terms of having digital access management that is easy to use and helpful to our users to be able to access photos and templates fairly easily. Having the ability to use the facial recognition option to tie multiple assets by name or file type is very useful. One of the main business problems we had was having a location that could be accessible to the whole university along with our external partners. With Canto, we can finally curate photos for certain areas like admissions, certain colleges, etc.

Having the ability for faculty and staff to search in a portal within Canto for photos for articles or other types of media content is very helpful. Another helpful scenario is for when clients want to simply create a one-page flyer from a template will allow us to utilize our resources to something more useful

We use Canto as a master photo library within the organization and share photos internally and with contractors.

Canto works great as a marketing library of photos and videos. I could see it as a great photo-sharing platform, too, as I know there is some customizability that we don't utilize as much, as we have a different method of sharing photos with customers in particular.

Uploading assets for back up and to share with Sales and Marketing.

It has robust options, but requires good training and team alignment to determine best practices for all.

We use Canto for all photo and video storage and graphic assets such as logos. I create graphics in Adobe products daily, and the Canto Connector tool allows us to work much faster and keep photos from shoots organized. It has enhanced our workflow as a creative team.

Appropriate: all photo and video storage, sharing a few select photos or entire albums with people (you don't even have to have an account!). Less appropriate for us is storing active Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign files.

Canto is used to organize final versions of assets for the organization. We use Canto to easily search for assets, label relationships between assets, track analytics on the viewing and downloading of assets, share assets, receive assets, etc. We also use Canto's style guide template to share information within the organization, such as branding and guides for using Canto. We also create share links to share assets in the workspaces of the PAT portal through Sitefinity.

Canto is an excellent tool for organizing assets and searching for them in one location. I also really enjoy using the mobile version of Canto on my smartphone when I am on the go. Canto is robust and fast and it has been a major advancement in the way that my organization stores and shares assets.

We use Canto as a warehouse for all our visual assets and logos. Our primary use is for communications team use, but all staff can access and use it. We find it especially useful in the creative process when looking for assets to accompany our storytelling.

You're making a PowerPoint, and you need some beautiful visuals. Canto is the best starting point.

We use Canto to help us organize all of our media and make it easy to search. We have a bunch of different divisions that each have their own assets as well as content that is used across divisions. We were spending a lot of time searching for assets and Canto makes it easy for the end users to find what they are looking for directly.

After researching over a dozen platforms, I'm happy that we went with Canto. It has all the features that we are looking for and they are constantly making improvements to the platform. Their support is great and implementing it was very easy. Their recent acquisition of MerlinOne and integration of their capabilities will further enhance the already rich suite of tools that they offer.

We use Canto to collect videos and photos from international staff for marketing purposes in the US.

Its been great for us getting photos and videos from staff all around the world that's needed for our advertising in the US

We are still getting out Canto up and running, but I can see so many opportunities on how it will help us organize images, assets and customers!

Way easier to find images than using dropbox.

Our office uses Canto as an image database. We have a hard time easily sharing and searching for specific photos, and Cantos folders and tagging features makes this super easy. On a daily basis we use the feature where you can create a share link that can be publicly shared and expire during a certain date or time. We also use Canto to organize event-specific photos so we can easily access them later on. It is sometimes I do not think our marketing office could live without!

Well suited for sharing photos across networks and departments, especially in a marketing and editorial setting. This is not good if you are wanting a user to just be able to view certain areas, but not everything.
