Nachteile

Die Nutzerverwaltung ist nicht ganz einfach, versteckt und nicht besonders intuitiv, das könnte noch verbessert werden

Vorteile

Vom Auswahl-Prozess über die Implementierung bis zum täglichen Gebrauch sind wir sehr zufrieden mit Canto. Viele Prozesse konnten wir dank Canto schon vereinfachen und nun binden wir verschiedene Schnittstellen in andere Systeme an.

Wenn es an die Details geht, ist auch der Kundensupport manchmal überfordert, es wird aber immer nach Löungen gesucht.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Canto

Vorteile

It's hard for me to even pick! We are coming from a very limited system, so the tagging and search capabilities have been a huge time save for my team. I also love the ability to have photos in multiple albums, the upload links are great, and the system is really easy to navigate.

Nachteile

The portals landing pages are a little limited in design capabilities, but nothing that would make me not want to use the system.

Vorteile

It’s easy to use and fairly intuitive. The filter system is very powerful. Love the portals.

Nachteile

The choice of ‘views’ you get is limited. Some of our products are pens and rulers and the ‘list view’ thumbnails are too small to see what the product looks like. The other views show only cropped images of the product if it is beyond a certain size, making it impossible to see what the product actually is. It also has numerous bugs, such as not being able to display a greyscale image if it is saved as a .psd. Also, another wonderful fact of Canto is its portals, and we have a need to set up a great deal for our distributors. However, each one has to be created manually even though 95% of them are all the same. There should be a template facility to copy.

Vorteile

CANTO is very easy to set up and customise. The upload functions are logical and my users manage to find content after minimal training. As an admin, I have access to a lot of reporting and fine-tuning, without it being overwhelming. The customer service is also exceptionally well organised and friendly.

Nachteile

There are very few locations worldwide where CANTO is not available. Unfortunately one of the countries my organisation works in is one of those locations.
Also, when we first started to use CANTO, price development was not always clear to us.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Canto

Vorteile

It has been a useful tool to use as a team that all work remotely and share assets. It has meant we have been able to have better oversight over the content that we work with, and be able to share and collaborate on them.

Nachteile

We have raised this a few times, but the lack of working plug-in for our Wordpress system has been a point of discussion since we've joined. It also occasionally crashes at the same place of the process (e.g. during upload) and would be ideal to be worked out of the user experience.

Warum Canto gewählt wurde

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Canto

Vorteile

It's been really simple to use, and the onboarding service was great!

Nachteile

Sometimes it can be unresponsive when uploading. I've not been particularly impressed by the adobe connector too, its not been useful at all. The portal customization user interface could also do with some work - it is really not very clear on how to change colours, move titles, get rid of unwanted buttons, etc. I love the feature and its what helped initially sell the product, but it could really do with UI improvements. It would also be great to not have the chequered background on album covers for vector images - we use them as covers and I don't want to clog up the album with a custom made icon in the album.

Vorteile

Advanced search tools, easy to use, good interface.

Nachteile

I'd like to be able to add extra margin to the images in the download options: a crop tool with the possibility to add space, not just cut.

Warum Canto gewählt wurde

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Canto

Vorteile

I appreciate the ability to tag objects, store related information, and recognize faces. [sensitive content hidden] has been very helpful, and checking in with him to find out what's happening with Canto never feels like work. The fact that there appears to be an answer to every query I could possibly have impresses me greatly; such materials must have been painstakingly compiled.

Nachteile

Working with a single sign-on login can be perplexing for those who are only visiting your site and not contributing or consuming content. Less technically competent users may be confused by the steps required to clear cookies and restart the browser.

Vorteile

The easy way for us to keep everything organized as a company

Nachteile

Sometimes create links can be a little challenging

Vorteile

Very easy to use and very easy to setup.

Nachteile

Performance can be slow when accessing larger files or when using limited connectivity, which can hinder productivity on the go.

Vorteile

1. Canto team was very supportive during the onboarding process
2. Endless possibilities with tagging images
3. Ability to use directly in Adobe products with plug-in

Nachteile

1. No uncheck all feature
2. Issues with uploading large batch of files

Vorteile

Easy to set up and intuitive to ease. It was incredibly easy to implement across the organisation for internal and external stakeholders. Canto delivered on its promise.

Nachteile

Very little to dislike, perhaps if it was more focused on the hospitality industry it could build integrations with other elements of the Martech stack.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Canto

Vorteile

Canto helps organize our thousands of digital assets. We especially like that we can upload photos, videos, music, and Adobe files. It is helpful as a photo library but also in project collaboration.

Nachteile

Canto is not terribly user friendly. Customer service is great and is eager to help you, but some features are buried and if not in frequent use you'll find yourself asking for help for the same tasks.

Vorteile

Does the job as a digital asset management tool, even if it's not the most pleasant to use

Nachteile

Not very user-friendly. Search is not great, it's very difficult to find what you need

Vorteile

Ease of single uploads, tagging to enable search, multi-folder assignment, deduplication, portal creation

Nachteile

Difficulty in bulk upload, downloading buggy, no mobile app version

Vorteile

I like that Canto is on top of their game, always improving the software and releasing updates. When a feature isn't particularly user-friendly, you can put in a ticket for a suggested improvement and they will consider it in a future release.

Nachteile

It's a little hard to use for the general user, those who aren't power users. I had to draft up instructions on our to use the software for our general employee base.

Vorteile

Canto's user-friendly interface allows for an easy, intuitive platform to host, organize, and share all of our digital assets. Having something that is so intuitive puts all team members at ease, and increases their implementation of the platform in their day-to-day work.

Nachteile

Canto divides its users between three levels: Admin, Collaborator, and Consumer. There is very little that you can't do in Canto. A fully customizable experience for Administrative and Collaborator level users means a great deal of your DAM needs are met.

I do feel that the Consumer-level experience can be expanded further, for example: with regards to facial recognition, a Consumer-level user is more than capable of identifying faces within a photograph, but the current constraints of the consumer level does not allow for this level of data input. Overall, this dynamic spark of the Canto platform is sometimes lost at the Consumer-level.

Vorteile

It is very user-friendly. It's visual and easy to navigate. It has great search and filter features. You can send people directly to an asset without giving them access to everything.

Nachteile

You can upload a separate cover image; you have to use one that is already in your library; it has to be an actual asset. This is difficult if your fold of assets only contains font or color libraries, the thumbnails have no visual.

Vorteile

We use Canto for campus-wide digital asset management. Our Marketing and PR team manages the application, which helps us distribute photos and videos to our campus departments and news media. We find it especially helpful for organizing and distributing athletics-related content. It is also helpful for organizing photos and videos for easy retrieval.

Nachteile

The application is sometimes laggy, but the Canto team is super responsive.

Vorteile

Portals - We have customers and distributors all over the world this portal aspect will help us manage their content they are receiving and eliminate the bottleneck of people across the world having to wait a whole day to hear from us with assets.

Nachteile

The option to make a single file downloadable or not. We have some highly sensitive files and some we don't want people to be able to download but be able to look at. So it would be nice if we could make a single file not downloadable. They do have other options like terms of use or watermarks but it be nice if that was a feature. You could do this but only in bulk, so you'd have to make all files not downloadable.

Vorteile

The flexibility of deployment and implementation was paramount for our organization, as we ended up hosting the solution on premise due to our large file sizes. We love how the metadata is written back to the asset. Additionally, the various ways to access the assets through the web, through apps or through a desktop client made the user adoption go very smoothly.

Nachteile

Customizing the software during the installation and implementation phase was more time consuming than we had anticipated and with the new releases of software and portals we have encountered some delays and hiccups (we are working through them). Out of the "box" reporting is significantly lacking compared to the other options, but you can buy a 3rd party addin for that.

Vorteile

The three major items that drove us to choose Canto as our DAM were the friendly and effective customer service, their ease of setup and customization, and their constant drive to update and make their software better. Both our account manager and the Canto IT team are quick to respond and always willing to do what is needed to help us achieve what we need.

Nachteile

We had some issues early on in the setup/implementation phase as we didn't feel like we were provided with adiquate information as to what was needed for our trainings. However, once we got into the process things became more clear and everything went smoothly.

Vorteile

Overall, Canto is easy to use. The tagging and categorisation options are extensive and have made the whole process to manage content much more efficient for our organization. The portal functionality is also a nice way for us to be able to share content with external partners.

Nachteile

Some of the interfaces are not so intuitive, particularly when it comes to sharing video and PDF files with external partners. It was not obvious how files could be downloaded

Vorteile

The part that I like the most about Canto was the ease of getting started. After watching a webinar and an initial training session for the admin area, I was able to set up and customize our DAM immediately. The additional training for users was great as well. But the software is very user friendly and easy to use overall. Customer service is outstanding also.

Nachteile

Some of the more advanced features (portal creation and integrations with design programs) aren't as clearly explained or touched on in initial trainings.

Vorteile

the search for images by themes is very important

Nachteile

The quality (resolutions) of images and the thumbnails

Vorteile

Easy to use and with latest technology, like AI tagging

Vorteile

Este aplicativo es excelente para la gestion de sitios web y otorgar persos a usuarios.

Nachteile

hace falta implementar herramientas y que sea un poco mas intuitiva.

Vorteile

The first thing I should mention is its organizational functions. I can easily categorize, tag, and search all my images, videos, and documents with just a few clicks. No more wasting time searching through endless folders! But that's not all, the ability to share and collaborate in real time with my team is just amazing.

Nachteile

The first thing I should mention is the price. Oh my gosh, that's a bit excessive! I understand that quality comes at a cost, but I think Canto could consider more affordable options for small businesses or start-ups.

Vorteile

Canto peut directement connecté à Photoshop ce qui facilite grandement nos travaux de retouche. Le service marketing de l'entreprise se sert tous les mois de Canto, avec succès.

Nachteile

Pour ce que nous avons besoin de faire (stockage, gestion et retouche des images), Canto répond bien à l'ensemble des demandes; il est peut être simplement un peu cher sur la durée.

Vorteile

Ce logiciel est un outil Dam ( Digital Asset Management ) . Il est également un système de gestion de contenu et de marketing. Il est aussi un logiciel de branding.

Nachteile

Ce logiciel n'a aucun inconvénient à signaler aux proches.

Vorteile

Very easy to setup. Canto's tagging images feature is impressed me. Also i can assessable from anywhere.

Nachteile

Canto's delivery system and speed need to improve to keep our workflow smooth.

Vorteile

Canto me parece una herramienta muy interesanta, su interfaz es fácil de usar. Además, tengo un espacio muy amplio para subir archivos como fotos, videos, documentos, etc, administrarlos y comparirlos entre compañeros de trabajo y clientes. Tiene un excelente sistema de etiquetado inteligente AI para agregar etiquetas a sus fotos de forma automática.

Nachteile

La herramienta es muy interesante, aunque aun existen puntos a mejorar, como una mejor organización y filtrado de archivos que sea eficiente y rápida. Pero sin duda Canto va por buen camino.

Vorteile

There are many things that I like best about Canto, but I will definitely say I love that our ability to store and access so much more data and information and be able to access it easier is a huge plus! I love the Canto has the ability to upload and view any type of file you may throw at it, CAD/DWG was a big surprise to me but super exciting! I like that Canto has fantastic security behind it and that our information is safe. I like that you are able to give permissions and restrict certain or specific files and information. I also love that you have the ability to enter in so many different tags for one document, file or photo. It makes it much easier to search for because we all know that different people will describe something a little different each time!

Nachteile

I wish that Canto was a little brighter when it came to the "smart tags" that it automatically gives when you upload a document or photo. I think there are alot more "common" words or descriptions that could be added to its vocabulary. It would be very helpful for the unexperienced uploader or the person who just isn't good at describing things. It certainly takes some training to navigate and use properly, and you have to get used to how they refer to things differently.

Vorteile

I love the visual layout of the product—another competitor we were considering had a terrible UI / UX and that is really important to my marketing team who is very visual! Also we loved the search feature and the tagging.

Nachteile

The way the app loads on a MacBook Retina makes it look a little low quality / not the highly resolution of software design. That part makes it feel a little cheap to be honest? Also I don't like that Canto will reload on you at random times (automatically refresh your browser page), even if you were in the middle of a long scrolled search for specific imagery. It will lose your place and have you start over.

Vorteile

Easily upload images directly or lock down to contributors so that any uploads need to be approved. Being able to sort projects by files and create specific jobs within those makes organization easy.

Nachteile

This needs an app - this is difficult to use from a mobile device and an app would put it over the edge.
