Overall Satisfaction with Canto
My department uses Canto to house and organize our digital photo assets for marketing and other purposes such as sharing our assets with the rest of the organization. Previously photo assets were kept departmentalized.
- Amazing facial recognition tech.
- The use of portals makes sharing assets very easy.
- Canto warns you when there is a duplicate being added, great when multiple departments attain the same assets over the years.
- Custom branding abilities.
- Too many ways to filter searches, can be overwhelming.
- You cannot right click in Canto.
- Better asset management.
- Very cost effective.
IntelligenceBank ... but it doesn't seem to be on the list ... it needed a lot of functions to be added to be useful

Evaluating Canto and Competitors
Yes - Intelligence Bank - it wasn't giving us what we needed in a DAM platform.

We would do the research ourselves instead of having a 3rd party handle it
Canto Support
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
Quick Resolution Good followup Knowledgeable team Problems get solved Kept well informed No escalation required Immediate help available Support understands my problem Support cares about my success Quick Initial Response | None |
Our parent company did the purchasing so we didn't have a choice but I believe we chose premium support becuse we have a lot of faculties with different needs so it was just easier.
They extended our onboarding timeframe without an extra charge because we were having difficultie with some of the faculties involved.
