Canto: Great for media management, if maintained properly
Overall Satisfaction with Canto
The design and marketing team uses Canto primarily as a photo asset management tool. User profiles/logins for various outside contributors (advertising agency, freelance photographers, etc.) are also provided.
Pros
- Search function is robust and comprehensive.
- Easy to scroll through all files available
- Keyword tagging is a phenomenal feature.
- High control options in managing, sorting, and downloading content.
Cons
- The number of features presented all at once can be overwhelming. The home screen displays too much information, icons, and files all at once.
- Multiple iterations of a design or photo file get repetitive when scrolling. A feature to identify those very similar files, then group + collapse them together would be an improvement.
- Features can be easy to miss/forget with such an extensive system. A more tiered hierarchy of tools would help, with the most intuitive and user-friendly at the forefront, more advanced tools/systems in the middle, followed by the most advanced tools/systems.
- Shortcut options for the most performed actions for individual users (or organizations)
- Downloads could be simpler/faster, without the extra pop-up screen—an option for one-click downloads.
- Increased productivity
- Less miscommunication
- Better integration with outside contributors
- Google Drive and Dropbox
Enso Rings selected Canto thanks to its robust file organization system: keyword tagging and filtered searches particularly are helpful and relevant to the company's needs.
