Overall Satisfaction with Canto

Canto is being used across our whole company. It allows us to quickly and easily find and organize all the files we use in the company. The numerous ways to categorize and organize are really helpful.
  • The search function works really well. It's like searching in Google. You can put in a search based on so many different details you might have about what you are looking for and the chances are it'll come up.
  • You can organize files into folders like you would on your computer or in Dropbox but you can also tag items so that when something can fit into two categories and can still be found in either.
  • Another feature I love are the portals. They allows you to create a specifically catered list of items for a unique audience. This helps certain group avoid seeing items they don't need or are not allowed to have access to.
  • The aesthetic of Canto could be improved. When compared with Dropbox and other modern software, I think the look and feel could be improved.
  • Incorporating functionality with Excel and MS programs would help. An example of this is that when viewing an Excel file, you can only see a small preview of the file instead of being able to scan the spreadsheet and multiple tabs that might exist.
  • Uploading content in bulk can be cumbersome. Canto defaults to putting in a lot of folders and sub folders when many times it would be better if things were categories into albums instead.
  • The search feature is by far the best thing that Canto does.
  • Displaying all the results visually is also a big improvement compared our previous tools
  • Being able to have a robust sharing functions is really helpful. It allows us to share internally and externally and control what is shared and for how long.
  • The efficiency and access to sales sheets has allowed our reps to better serve our customers
  • Access to fonts and images on the system has saved the account managers time in building materials for our clients
  • Having access to our company logos and assets has helped us keep consistent branding for our business and helped our consistency in marketing.
These two products are quite a bit different in what they provide but they were solving some of the problems that we solve with Canto. Canto does what these products do but so much more. Canto allows for so many ways to organize, categorize, share, and access your content. Dropbox and Google Drive more or less take your file structure on your computer and put it in the cloud.

Would you buy Canto again?

Canto is perfect for marketing and design agencies that appreciate being able to organize and search files visually across an organization. Canto is less suited for companies heavily using MS software and looking for a way to organize and quickly access previews of their documents.
