M-Files has an easy to use interface that looks like any standard windows explorer. With M-Files server administration rights, you can adjust security automatically to ensure any private or confidential documents and workflows update security to ensure only those that should have the ability to read or open the files can do so, while limiting those that shouldn't have access, do not.

M-Files can be daunting when creating your separate work flows...care must be taken to test and retest to ensure accurate routing. You also must ensure you have the correct organizational structure in place to allow proper workflow. When a change in reporting happens, the workflow must be adjusted or you risk exposing private and confidential documents to the incorrect individual. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have been using M-Files for over a year and it is amazing it has saved us a lot of time making everyone's job easier and effective.

The set up is not the easiest as a work flow needs to be created but once is up it is a great tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The approach of M-Files digital corporate memory software is a critical step up for companies which care knowledge created by people working around. Without this type of supporting software, there is no safe and reachable system which can be used as commercially that most of the companies now looking for that type of solutions. Even there are more easier types of the solution for data sharing and storing, those are not perfectly fitting for confidential usage. M-files brings the benefits of safe data without loosing any part if uploaded correctly. The upload and download speed is really fast which allows users to work on files over M-Files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Besides many beneficial properties and features of M-Files, there are some points needs to be improved. If the file crushes and cannot be saved, somethimes M-Files cannot catch latest version of it and user loses work done until then. Furthermore, the file structure is not useful as the cloud base structure is quite complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like M-Files because it is very safe and offers enough cloud storage. Accessing content is also easy from any device and all I need is authentication. I also like the ease of retrieving content using the search feature. Sharing of files across the team is also easy and this is a plus when working together on the same project.

M-files is one of the best and this means it comes at a cost. I feel that the cost is too high for many SMEs. The User Interface is also lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Service interface is very bad, similar to the interface 20 years ago

Menu language is very outdated

It is necessary to define and track individual files, it does not allow automatic selection, every process is done individually, it is time consuming, exhausting and requires attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
M-Files is very suitable for almost any environment, my favorite is Quality Management. It is different because it is a content management tool that helps users organize, manage and track documents and information. It is ideal for any regulated or compliance company that wants to improve compliance or is working to achieve it. Local implementations are available, based on the cloud and hybrids. M-Files helps us powerfully with the control of documents, requests for change, planning and execution of audits, management of problems and risks, and training with a turnkey approach.

I do not dislike anything. Integrations with various applications, including SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Salesforce and NetSuite, are available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
M-files integrates with your windows Explorer. So in short it is just like using your windows explorer. It is easy to install on server (with training). Search features of M-Files using scoring method where all the results are given score based on relativity. It is amazing how you can create complex workflows in M-Files with good planning. M-Files works with Metadata. You only need to tell mfiles what the document is and it will place it into its right place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
M-files can get slow after certain number of objects created. It uses firebird as embedded DB. Also i think Electronic and digital signatures should be part of the system and not an Ad-On. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
M-Files can help automate process and procedure around the collection, use and storage of your data.
M-Files can give your data meaning and usefulness across your business.
Workflows and Granular Permissions are some of its key strengths. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Choosing the right Integration Partner and their ability to work well and effectively with you, is key to a successful deployment.
Have a clear goal on what you need to achieve using M-Files and the exact area it will assist with, avoid “scope creep” as this will slow you down considerably.
The M-Files platform can be used in many ways - start with the “low hanging fruit” and have a clear understanding of what is required to deliver this using the software - just because it is *possible* doesn’t mean it needs to be used that way from day one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that I can drag and drop documents anywhere in m-files. A prompt pops up and you tell it where it needs to be saved. I also like being able to view document edit history and rolling back to different versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At first it feels very time consuming to save documents because you have to fill out fields when the prompt pops up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
M-files is a cloud based service for business environment. It provides data sharing and editing with your team & colleagues. It is very easy to share and work on a shared document. Check-in and check-out processes not so effective and easy but It is well-considered. It should be easy and fast to use it effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some interface features and classfication selections are not so easy. It takes much more time to share some documents via e-mail or from another source. So it should be simplified some points like writing details of documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a complex admin interface. Well integrated with windows and office. Desktop, Web and mobile interface. Ranking search result. each user can create his own views with the ability for filtration and grouping to see content in a way he want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No more perpetual license for M-Files 2019. M-Files is going to change pricing model.In order to continue receiving customer support and new release update you have to upgrade to subscription model. The prices changes frequently. It doesn't support Mac OS (you can only by using web). It is not easy to calculate how many pages/documents you have archived in the system, this feature is required for all backlog scanning projects. Zonal OCR is not easy to setup and not accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
M-Files strong points are in the ease of use and the powerful search capabilities. We loved the change from "where it is" to "what it is". It has some really powerful features in the back of it but still can be simple enough for the end user just to "easily file and find their documents". It works great on mobile platforms and integrates well with the Microsoft suite of products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In all products there are room for improvement. I am happy to say these are limited at the moment.
As long as they keep up their R&D and invest in AI and other related technologies I see a great future for them. Integration with Onedrive for business is not yet live and that was a small disappointment so that it can more seamlessly integrate with your corporate Office 365 system.

M-Files is one of the best software products we have ever worked with. Completely configurable, easy to adopt and maintain and solution for a lot of different business challenge. In comparison with other software products we have worked with, in M-Files, basically there is no case that you cannot solve with built-in features or with simple development using powerfull APIs. We are proud partner and M-Files reseller. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing significant that we dislike about M-Files. We would like to have little more powerful reporting but as a software development company we have our own products and solutions that we are using with M-Files data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Automatic version control, metadata based sorting and searching with automatic privacy settings and class structures are but a few things that have been greatly improved since moving away from simple network drives and basic folders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Unfortunately it is extremely hard to make people understand how to use the system in a wise manner. They always confuse, no matter how many times you explain them, metadata properties, "folders", classes, document collections, multi-file documents and whatnow. There are a lot of concepts which are very useful in M-Files, but the grassroots employees have a hard time understanding everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The capacity to take existing information and processes (workflows that are currently manual in nature) is one of the greatest attributes of M-Files and M-Files Back Office.
People have been made to grow accustomed to following a manual (touch everything) process in their daily operational efforts.
M-Files gives those people back extremely valuable time in their busy work day by having them pay attention to exceptions in a workflow and also allowing for accessing relevant and accurate information that they need in a seconds notice without opening a filing cabinet drawer and digging Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
