What differentiates Canto Digital Asset Management from other similar products?

Canto is very full featured and was easy to work with on pricing and implementation process and schedule. The visibility that the Canto team provided into their roadmap and plans for future feature implementation was great!

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The features available within Canto are well designed and well implemented. We needed a solution for managing various types of digital assets for different use cases, and Canto fit the bill exactly. In addition to the great product, Canto's implementation and support teams were fantastic and helped our implementation to go extremely smoothly.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There is very little to dislike about Canto. All of the features promised to us during the sales cycle were available, and we found no "gotchas" or surprises. We could have used some more guidance about how/when to use the Portals feature, but that ended up being a minor issue in our case.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The business problem that we were trying to solve with Canto was the presence of disparate data and media availability, depending on the author. Media was being shared inconsistently across the organization and needed to be accessed in various ways instead of having one standardized way of working with our digital assets. Canto has essentially solved those problems completely internally, with the added benefit of being available to be used to share assets outside of our internal team.

I would highly recommend Canto as a great way to organize a large amount of photography. If you put the work into tagging and keywording photos Canto makes it so easy to search and share what you're looking for.
