No other similar solutions tried in our company. But I made an online research and found out that Canto is a great digital asset management system for sharing files with external parties, that is extremely important to us.
While Canto Cumulus is a reputable DAM, users cite potential drawbacks such as a complex interface, customization challenges, integration limitations, scalability concerns, and reported issues with support responsiveness. These aspects should be considered based on specific …
Acquia DAM (Widen) had all the features we needed at a price that was not unaffordable. Also, having unlimited users and Admins is something few others have.
I've personally found the user experience with Acquia DAM (Widen) to be more intuitive and easy to learn. Once you get the hang of how to search the metadata, I think it's easier to find the assets you are looking for and truly narrow down your search.

Canto was one of the most cost effective options and was the only one that included all of the features that we were looking for (AI tagging, facial recognition, PMS integrations, OCR text recognition, etc)
Canto functions a lot like our existing server/file storage system, so the transition was smooth. Canto was supreme in searching/tagging. The salespeople were also the easiest to work with.
CANTO is the best balance of functionality, performance and cost for a company like mine that has started a digital transformation programme. Adobe Experience is best in class but too expensive.
Canto proved to be the simplest and cleanest user interface in our opinion. The price was much less than many of the other options that offered the features (bells & whistles) we found unnecessary.
Widen was incredibly difficult to search through and the organization and interface was not user friendly. AEM didn't allow more than a small handful of users, so we never got to actually use it as intended.
Canto has created their own Adobe plugin while Widen utilizes a third party vendor. The Canto plugin is much more reliable and Canto is extremely responsive on issues and suggestions whereas Widen has to rely on a vendor.
Canto's customer service and the ability to adapt to our needs is one thing that sticks out over some of the competition. Many of the other platforms that were comparable to Canto's robust feature list and ease of usability were much expensive. Canto is continuously adding new …
Canto had the best features compared to the price of anyone and met our essential needs of ease of use, portals, meta data completeness. Libris came close to Canto in these features, but overall, canto won with pricing terms and portals. Brandfolder was a contender as well but …
