Why choose Canto
Robust AI-powered DAM
Canto offers advanced metadata management, workflows, integrations, and AI-driven search—essential for modern DAM usage.
Lookatme functions as a simple image library with limited DAM capabilities.
Superior Brand Portal Capabilities
Canto supports unlimited portals, making it easier to share content securely with different user groups—internally and externally.
State-Of-The-Art Security
By combining advanced encryption, robust authentication, strict role-based permissions, Australian data residency, and globally recognised certifications, such as ISO 27001, GDPR, SOC 2, CCPA, Canto ensures that your digital assets are secure and compliant with the latest regulations no matter what region you're in.
Lookatme shows no publicly available evidence of ISO 27001, SOC 2, or GDPR compliance.
Industry Leading AI Features
Canto's industry-leading AI features set it apart as a powerhouse in digital asset management. With AI Visual Search, users can locate assets by analysing visual elements within images and videos, such as objects, colours, and scenes, even in the absence of tags or metadata. This groundbreaking functionality eliminates reliance on manual tagging and accelerates asset retrieval. Additionally, AI tagging and Facial Recognition streamline asset management.
Product Updates and Maintenance
Canto includes regular upgrades as part of the subscription, typically done behind the scenes with minimal disruption.
Lookatme customers report that upgrading involves migrating all data to an entirely new instance—an expensive and time-consuming approach.
