Overall Satisfaction with Canto

Within our organization, the Marketing department takes the lead in utilizing Canto to manage, categorize, and distribute assets like photographs and graphic files. Access to Canto is extended to other departments, facilitating efficient searches and usage of media items. The platform's features, such as tagging, keywording, and facial recognition, enable swift and easy sorting through a vast collection of photographs, ultimately saving valuable time for project teams in need of these assets. Furthermore, Canto serves as a rapid and effective means of sharing files, even with external parties beyond our organization.

  • Search.
  • Tagging
  • Quick use of editable files.
  • Slow upload at times.
  • Massive time saving.
  • Other employees can search for content themselves without needing assistance.
The support team at Canto has consistently demonstrated prompt responsiveness, efficiently providing solutions to any issues we encounter. They've shown a willingness to guide new employees through the platform's features via video chat as needed. Moreover, the team remains readily available for any questions or suggestions, ensuring we optimize the use of their platform to meet our specific needs.
We haven't used the portal or style guides as we already have something in place for that but the facial recognition is excellent when you need to quickly search for a specific employee that features in a handful of photographs across multiple years at the company. Previously we were having to tag all of the photos of each person with their name.
Canto is a lot more versatile with a lot more features.

We appreciate Canto for its practical features like keywording and tagging, which make navigating our photo collection quick and efficient. The ability to select specific photos and generate shareable links is something we use regularly, streamlining our communication. The recent addition of facial recognition is a notable improvement. However, when it comes to swift file management, we've found that platforms with native desktop applications offer a more responsive experience, especially for tasks requiring instant access to files.

Canto Training

Very knowledgable and accommodating trainers who listen to what you're asking and provide detailed yet simple instructions.

Using Canto

I've had to train multiple staff in our organization, and a few contractors outside the organization, how to use our Canto to find the content that they require and it's always been a really easy process. I think that speaks well to how usable the platform is for people with varying technical experience.
