Game changer of a product!

What differentiates Canto Platform from other similar products?

Image Relay takes a bit of set up, but the proper set up is so worth it! We have unique tags and metadata standards that help our organization store, organize, and utilize our digital assets. Prior to Image Relay, finding photos, knowing usage rights, locations, expiration dates, and metadata of the like was near impossible. Image Relay allowed our team to organize assets in a standardized way (unique to our business) and utilize features that allow for efficiencies related to uploading, downloading, sharing, locating, embedding, and being creatively inspired by our assets!

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of this product is the everyday ease of use for the variety of ways we utilize Image Relay. From providing upload links to our photographers on retainer to embedding images on our website, and creating collections for marketing projects to sending assets for media requests, IR has changed the game for so many of our staff's everyday uses of our asset library.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There are a few features I would love to change. Simply clicking outside of a box to confirm a change made would be nice - rather than needing to select "Done" in certain situations. Also, collections sometimes can have a few bugs, but that is not very common.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Do a demo! There are so many ways to use Image Relay to help a business get organized! See what the features are and brainstorm how your company might use it. I would also suggest talking to their experienced "librarians." Although my team and I did not use the librarians extensively for set-up (we kind of took the basics and ran with it for our unique needs), I know the librarians are super eager to help with set-up. We ended up organizing our library and checking in with them to make sure our logic in the set-up made sense. Our set-up did make sense, they were rather impressed with our system, & they even asked to use our library in demos!
