Canto Reviews

We have years of photos from the field of our nonprofit work that have never been organized properly, so we were in need of a photo management solution to better organize and locate the assets we have.

We use Canto in the Marketing, Employee Sucess, IT, and Training departments. All employees can access a photo portal with all our employee event photos. They love the facial recognition tool and can easily search their name. The Training Department uses it to house and keeps the same links for training provided to our stakeholders. In marketing, we keep all our photos and video files. It's 10000% better than using our share drive to hint for high-resolution photos. This alone has saved our team members many hours a week.

Canto has been a good addition to our Marketing Production team resources and has helped us with process development and organization. Currently, it is only being utilized within the marketing team but we consistently use the branding tools and portals to help us share files with other organizational groups.

Canto is used by our Marketing team to organize digital assets across the company and externally with our sales reps and dealers.

We use it across the marketing department to organize all our marketing materials. Canto helps us keep our materials accessible and neatly organized by using keywords and other metadata. This type of organization makes it easy to categorize materials so they are easy to find by any of our users in the future.

Canto is currently being used primarily by the marketing team, with future plans being to open it up to the company at large. Our previous media library was just file explorer within Windows, which bogged down searches and wasted time. Canto cuts down on search time and ensures a backup of data should our internal servers fail.

We are using Canto across the entire company, but mostly by the Marketing Department to organize and share photos, videos, etc. It allows our marketing team to have access to approved art as well as find the perfect photo to use for any purpose. It also gives the entire company an easy way to find photos and videos. One the best applications is that we have created a branding style guide with logos and guidelines for fonts, etc. Never again will we have to respond to an email request to "send me our logo."

The New World Symphony uses Canto across all departments. The integration across the institution allows us to seamlessly work with approved assets and across department lines when collaborating. The most ingrained users are in the Marketing, Communications, and Business Development departments. We have found the Canto platform easy for our staff members to adopt and implement in their workflows.

Canto is being used across the University, managed by University Communications. Employees can access it through their work portal. In my department, I use Canto to access approved licensed photos for my marketing collateral and website. It keeps the photos organized by topic and by the department. I can also email photos directly from Canto to my colleagues who request images. I can save my favorite photos on Canto and I can download the right file size and dimension (print quality vs web).

It is a great hub for team sharing. We use it daily throughout our marketing and design departments to access product images, videos, and documents. It is so great to be able to access everything in one place and keep everything organized since the majority of our team works remotely. It gives us access to our content any time, any place, and the ability to use tags helps find specific images much easier!

Our team has been using Canto as our DAM for our final artwork files for over two years. I'm quite pleased with the ease-of-use and the ability to get away from our dreaded corporate server! I like the way files are replaced and "versioned" simply by dragging the new one on top of the old file. The portals work great for the marketing projects for our individual clients as well.

We have been using Canto as a Digital Asset Management tool, it helps us to catalog and share all of our digital assets both internally as well as externally to our customers.

We use Canto to keep track of all of our projects across departments and topics. It is mostly used within the Marketing departments, and it helps us keep organized, especially if edits are made! It's great that we can update the files within a folder and the link will remain the same for those who have it.

It is being used by the Sales, Marketing, Technical Services Team, and Product Development Team. It solves the problem of document control and it helps our company keep the most up to date documents at the hands of our employees to ensure that our customers get the most up to date asset. We also use it to upload and manage all of our assets onto our website. We also use Canto to share assets with employees at our company and employees at our customers' companies. It is a great tool for the marketing department (administrators) to use to store documents before they are made available to the other departments. We use the approval options in Canto for this to decide who can see which assets.

We use Canto among our art department, marketing department, sales department, and web department as a visual and searchable asset database. It makes it easier to find assets as opposed to digging through our server to find them. We also use the Portal feature to share our assets with distributors and retailers.

Prior to Canto, all of our marketing material used to reside on a shared drive accessible within the organization network. All brand manager would own folders within which they stored marketing assets - images, brochures, videos, 3D assets. This caused issues because:

1. Simple folders = no tagging = very hard to search for assets.
   
2. No version control, approval history, and random nomenclature made it hard to identify which asset to use even if found.
3. No access outside the organization, so could not be used remotely or shared with 3rd party partners and agencies; people would use wetransfer each time.
4. Significant duplication of content, obsolescence, and storage consumption.

We use Canto/Flight on a daily basis across multiple departments. It helps us archive and keep current on social media, and digital platforms. Helps us cycle photos and video that are current to all of our enterprises and to media if needed. It has helped our organization stay current with employees and products.

We use Canto to house and organize our wide range of photos for marketing and other purposes. We are in the beginning stages of setting things up and adding photos to Canto, and we have loved learning more about it and the features it has. Our development team, including marketing, is currently the sole users but we hope to soon train our programs team on how to upload, keyword, and tag new photos that they take in the field. Canto addresses our overwhelming problem of not having a system to the madness of our photo collection. Before Canto, we had been adding photos to Dropbox but were not doing much to name and describe the photos, making the search for a specific photo very difficult. Now with Canto we are able to tag things like "girl smiling" or "previous water source" so we can nail down exactly what photos we want for marketing purposes. I am excited to see how else we will use Canto in the future.

We use Canto as our first custom DAM. It is replacing an 'in-house built' system. Currently, it is being used by our Comms, Marketing, and Creative teams. Our Admins from other teams have begun accessing it too. We had outgrown our old system and had begun to invest more in our content creation abilities. This led to us reconsidering our storage and distribution methods in support of our teams. We are now more responsive and consistent when it comes to representing and promoting our brands and our teams feel more efficient being able to access this platform when and where they choose without worrying about old network restrictions.

Canto is being used as a way for the many organizations within our company to have a centralized and easily searchable library of our photos. Primarily it allows us to more easily search for specific photos that used to be disorganized in many separate folders.

Canto is used as the enterprise-wide DAM system. It's helping store, organize, and distribute content across channels at all stages of production. It helps reduce duplicate efforts across teams, which saves time and resource costs. It also ensures proper governance, digital rights management, and allows for controlled sharing with external partners.

Canto is used as a digital asset management system for a college. It is used to store assets created by the marketing department, however, the system is available to the entire community to search and download assets. It addresses the problem of organizing photography assets.

We started out with Canto being used by our core Creative Services Team, to allow us to become comfortable with the software and also to load our photo and creative concept archives into the system. Once we had prepped the data, we rolled access to this out to our entire company. It has been nothing short of a game-changer. Our entire company uses this software now, many of us using it every day. The Canto support team takes incredible care of us and is always willing to help us find unique solutions to challenges we have encountered. With the system being web-based, it allows for infinite flexibility compared to trying to access our office servers and storing our photos and creative files separately. The search and tagging functions make this vastly flexible and are fantastic. We're grateful every day that we have this platform in our hands.

We mostly use Canto in the marketing department, but other departments like Sales and HR have access to it. Before Canto, all of our assets were in an intensive folder structure that was tough to navigate unless you were in it often. When people from other departments were trying to use our assets, it would take them a long time or have to ask someone on the marketing team for help. With Canto, they're able to simply use the search bar and easily find what they're looking for.

We use Canto in our marketing department. It is a wonderful tool to organize our files within our team, as well as share files with other departments quickly. It is much easier to search and find files within Canto than other file storage systems, plus uploading files is quick and simple.
