Overall Satisfaction with Canto

Canto is used across the organization, but some departments are more engaged than others. Canto allows us to streamline photo-sharing, and engage employees across the university in the Creative process. We can categorize, sort, and organize photos intuitively, so that the barrier to access is very low to new users.
  • Canto allows for specific tags of photos, keeping assets highly organized
  • Canto allows me to directly upload or import photos from other platforms, preserving crucial metadata
  • Canto have Workspaces and Portals tools, allowing different levels of collaboration
  • The tagging feature sometimes has issues, and can't recognize that a photo has the same tag if one has a capital letter and the other is lowercase
  • Changing the metadata of lots of photos at once can be difficult and slow
  • Not all user levels can delete photo albums, even if they created them
  • High quality photos increase engagement on the website and social media
  • Sharing across departments allows for higher quality content and integration of digital media strategies
  • Long-term photo storage has streamlined the process and provides faster, easier access to older photo shoots

Canto is suited very well for digital collaboration across departments, particularly with everyone working virtually. Canto is a high quality platform where we can share our work and choose photos for our website. However, sometimes the interface can be a bit confusing and definitely requires a learning curve. Certain types of photo imports are difficult, and there are sometimes unexpected technical issues, but overall, it's a great platform.
