Overall Satisfaction with Canto

Our Creative department has suffered from years of file disorganization. Canto is helping us create a searchable library of our digital assets. Currently, the main use is a means of giving access to others outside of our department in a simple and user-friendly way. We are working to build this as our main resource for developing materials within the creative department.
  • Visually appealing and simple user interface.
  • Ability to house assets in multiple "folders" without file duplication.
  • Ability to quickly create asset portals to give file access to others.
  • In the stylebook area, it auto-populates the CMYK formula when you enter a Pantone number. I wish this could be adjusted since our company's guidelines do not match these auto-generated formulas.
  • I wish there was a way to upload InDesign files and it's links together and the connection between the InDesign file and links would stay intact.
  • A more professional way of delivering assets.
  • Canto has opened doors to opportunities of file distribution.
  • Canto allows us to present a more professional face to our customers.
Canto proved to be the simplest and cleanest user interface in our opinion. The price was much less than many of the other options that offered the features (bells & whistles) we found unnecessary.
Still learning it, but so far is very intuitive and simple. The interface is extremely easy—it has a very "Apple" feel to it.
Support has been great and there are many tutorials available.

Would you buy Canto again?

Canto offers a great way of giving controlled access to digital files to specific audiences. The ability to easily search for and distribute files is excellent. From what I've learned of Canto, this is not the tool to use for work-in-progress. Think of Canto as more of a library of final assets.
