Best DAM product on the market
What do you like best?
It has many great features so it's hard to select just one but I work with a lot of photographers who contract with our company. Being able to provide them a link to upload their images directly into Canto is a time saver!
What do you dislike?
I wish the download icon was larger and easier to find. This has been a problem from day one and it's still not being addressed. I often have to help our users figure out how to download. I also had to draft detailed instructions with screenshots on how to use Canto for our general users.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Request a sandbox be setup so your selection committee can fully test the product out. This option was a game changer for us. It gave us the ability to fully understand how the product worked and gave us the appropriate questions to ask when we needed help understanding how all the features worked. We had video sessions with our selection team and Canto reps who spent time answering our questions, demoing the product and screen sharing.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
We are able to control which images the regular employee sees and downloads and which images we can restrict from general view and only allow select employees to see. Our metadata is better, the Smart Tags are helpful and easy to adjust if they're not hitting the mark just right, workspace feature is awesome for our review process. We're getting images in a consistent and efficient process (instead of every photographer having their own upload product), we're giving employees several options for downloading images (cropping, resizing, selecting RGB or CMYK, compressing), we can share images and "lightboxes" and the entire process is so much better than what we had before, which was an internally created application.
