Pros/Cons
Pros
- I love that Canto allows us to get a better handle of our digital assets through customized tagging and make sure the appropriate people or groups to see the right images.
- I also love the Facial Recognition feature - no more tagging the same people over and over. The company consistently improves the software and innovates - releasing frequent feature updates.
- The simplicity for the system and the search is brilliant. Users find it very easy to locate the files they need and download in the resolution that suits them right up to max original size.
Cons
- The extension always disappears from our extensions, and it has to be cleared out of our computer which leaves all of our documents with missing links.
- There are fewer project management-related features in Canto than in some other products. The inability to assign tasks, for example, is absent from Canto at this time.
- I always seem to have trouble navigating the different folders. Sometimes things are not in the folders or expired.
Pros
- Overall Canva is a nice solution if you are a non-designer like me. It's the capability to give outputs in different forms like PDF and SVG apart from PNG and JPG is really helpful in my case.
- It is so much better in terms of user-interface than most other applications like it. I started my graphics adventures in a math/science program named "grapher" which makes canva look like a magician.
- It's super easy to use even if you have little to no design experience, and has an amazing array of templates and design elements you can use for free or minimal costs.
Cons
- What I miss the most is I can’t do a drop shadow on an object. Often I’ll have to create the rest of the design, export it, then open it to Photoshop and add that element and drop shadow there.
- For instance, if I have text, a picture, and a box shape to outline the text, it can be extremely frustrating to move them around without accidentally moving the wrong item.
- If I had to complain about something, I’d say the amount of screens I have to go through when I open it can be a little frustrating.
