The full company uses Canto, although it was chosen with Mar/Comms and BizDev needs in mind.
  • Best search functionality out of all other DAM systems I looked into.
  • Frequent product updates.
  • Good customer service.
  • Slow load times (especially for video).
  • Only admins ("power users") can upload assets into the main library. Canto limits the number of admin seats you can have.
  • Initial training was not very helpful.
Canto is well suited if you need to organize images, videos, and other files across teams. It has some functionality to allow version control and editing on the platform, but I wouldn't say it's quite robust enough to replace Frame.io, Vimeo, Light Room, etc.

  • Significantly decreased the amount of time we spend looking for assets.
  • Takes a dedicated admin to oversee the product.
Canto had the fastest upload times of other products I evaluated

Primarily BizDev and MarComms, but all disciplines can search Canto

Time and paitence
  • Organizing BizDev assets
  • Organizing MarComms assets
  • Creating a platform institutional memory
  • We are better able to onboard new staff because we have an organized archive of past projects
  • Sending files to clients
Although there might be a better product out there, I think for the price. Canto is very reasonable
No

  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
Canto had the most comprehensive search features and fastest upload times. Users also have the ability to upload metadata
I would create a desired workflow before selecting and implementing a product
  • Implemented in-house
No
Change management was a major issue with the implementation
Buy-in needs to happen at all levels of the organization. Product training needs to happen during onboarding for new hires
  • Lack of interest from other team members
  • Junior team members tasked with selecting and implementing product
  • Lack of support from senior leadership
Because each instance is unique, a Canto implementor can only help if you know what you want. Take the time to outline your goals before implementing the product
  • Online Training
My trainer was relatively junior, didn't really understand the product
I am satisfied with how configurable the product is
Determine your file structure before uploading assets
No - we have not done any customization to the interface
No - we have not done any custom code

I've had great support from my account manager, although the initial training wasn't very helpful.
My company did not purchase premium support. Our set up was fairly straight forward
No
My account manager proactively reached out to my team and I quarterly to update us on new product feeatures.
While Canto has some limitations, it has been helpful, and the company releases new features ~once a quarter.

Canto is based on the West coast, so occasionally patches and planned outages happen during East coast working hours
