  • Search Feature.
  • Analytics
  • Link Creation.
  • Speed of uploading and downloading.
  • I struggle with using Canto's style guide feature. I would love to see this feature improve.
  • There needs to be the addition of a search feature for the list of share links. As my organization's number of share links increases, it is becoming difficult to find share links when we need to use or edit them.

  • Search function works well.
  • Tagging abilities are extensive.
  • Flexibility to download in multiple sizes/formats.
  • It is a bit clunky to share photos with outside people. It could be easier to create an album or link.

  • Options for searchability
  • Visibility of assets
  • Ability to create custom structures
  • Copy / paste is counterintuitive; ie, you must be "inside" a folder to copy it
  • Would love option to have multiple trees open to copy paste between without excess navigation

  • Asset organization.
  • Facial recognition and taggings.
  • Canto Connector app with Adobe.
  • UX - sometimes icons aren't intuitive.
  • UX - takes a lot more clicks than necessary often.
  • No keyboard shortcuts (that I am aware of).

  • Facial recognition technology helps us tag key staff automatically.
  • The in-tool search and tagging features are very robust, allowing us to find the specific assets we need fast.
  • The AI driven auto tagging is a nice addition and helps broaden what we can look for.
  • The ability for outside vendors to seamlessly upload content straight into the tool saves a lot of work for us.
  • The ability to selectively share out specific assets or folders with other departments or principals is a great way to really capitalize on our assets without creating extra work for my team.
  • The price point is a bit high, so I'd like to see either more features to justify that or a price drop.
  • The Adobe Connector interface is functional but could be a bit more drag and drop, right now it's a little clunky, if effective.
  • Right now you can't share collections between users, it would be great if we could do that for major projects rather than having to create a new album or tag.

  • Facial recognition
  • AI object tagging
  • OCR text recognition
  • The brand templates add-on is very difficult to use. It sounds great on paper, but when you actually try to use it you find out it's very clunky and limited.
  • Adding fonts to style guides is difficult. Would love to see some sort of integration with Adobe and Google fonts.
  • Duplicate finder only finds exact duplicates, so if a file has been run through processing of any sort it doesn't find it (ie Photoshop, Lightroom). Would be great if it could have some sort of optical duplicate finder.

  • Organization of digital assets
  • Search features and functionality
  • Portals and style guides
  • Visual thumbnails to see assets
  • Not allowing you to upload images for thumbnails, some previews/thumbnails don't show up depending on file type so you can't see what it is without downloading it.
  • The organization of assets in the portal isn't as user-friendly as the main library. It can be difficult to find something once they enter the portal.
  • It would be nice to have more customization features and functionality in the style guidelines, it's very basic and doesn't look as professional as the main library.
