Overall Satisfaction with Canto
Canto is being used as our digital management across our entire company as well as with partner organizations for all photography, videography, and documents used as sales training and resources. It provides us with a visual gallery that we can directly send to potential customers and serve us as an internal resource database for past designs throughout the entire sales process.
- You can segment photos/files by specific folder/file name which helps when you want to see all examples of a certain type.
- You can tag files with anything you want which helps with the global search bar.
- I like the approved/pending/restricted label since it filters automatically.
- Auto-tagging is impossible to use - it uses the same keywords as you used for the previous upload which is great when it's the exact same thing, but you have to manually delete whatever you don't want.
- GeoView is also not user friendly. It doesn't prompt for a location upon uploading content.
- We have not seen any direct ROI from Canto other than the fact our sales reps like to use it to reference past products.
I entered the company after Canto had already been implemented and it's become much too large to overhaul and switch platforms, so I do not have any feedback on Canto's competition other than there has to be a better product out there that's more user friendly. I've heard good things about others.
