Likelihood to Recommend M‑Files is great for companies with multiple locations. Drive letters can become cumbersome to use and collaborate with colleagues and M‑Files fills that gap. The check out/check in system is great and allows only one editor at a time. This can be good and bad depending on the situation.

Pinpoint is great if you have a lot of documents that need to be organized in a specific way. It works really well for our organization which has to go through an annual audit. Anything the auditors might need can be easily found and emailed to them with only a few clicks of the mouse rather than digging through file cabinets and storage boxes
Read full review Pros Reliable: Our M-Files system has only gone down one time (for a very short period of time) at the beginning of the two years that we have been with M-Files. Our previous vendor's system had so many downtimes that our IT Department had to assign an associate to work with me for sending out notifications to associates etc. With our last vendor, one day I came to work and only 60 of the 260 consent for surgery forms were available to our end users although they were visible to me as the Administrator but weren't showing up for the end-users! Our M-Files system was created for us. It was created by working with developers to only have on our system what we required, and I must say, there were so many extra features that M-Files offered in our program that weren't available with our previous vendor. As mentioned previously, we can have two policies or forms visible to the end-user so one can be listed as "draft" or "training only" so our end users can read and use for training as we get ready to roll out a new medical record system. I can also preload policies and leave them in the working stage until they are approved and go back and publish them the day they are approved. The list goes on with so many great features. Our end users would say the greatest asset of this product is the search function. It's amazing how fast it is. There are many ways to search out a form or policy which makes it a true asset for our associates. Read full review LSSP Corporation (PinPoint DMS)
Workflows Document searching customization Read full review Cons If you are new to Electronic Document Management, this can be a really difficult product to roll out. Since it is infinitely versatile, there are infinite ways to configure it wrong. I highly recommend the M-Files admin training offered by M-Files as it will set you in the right direction. Many options are paid add-ons. So while you are not paying for what you don't need, many great features will come at a cost. If you don't have a technical person on staff, this will be tricky to maintain. Not impossible. If your processes do not change, once setup it will be fine.

I would like to see more functionality with the contact manager system We still haven't been able to master the automatic filing feature It is difficult to make changes to the setup after you have been using it a while, kind of stuck with the way you organize things. Read full review Likelihood to Renew M-files meets our almost all needs, we dont have other option to replace m-files. it saves lots, like Hardware because of Vault Feature means we can create many vaults (mini-servers) in m-files in other solutions we need more hardware for more installations.

Usability It is a powerful system that can locate content fast and effectively. The system takes quite some time to setup initially. It can be hard for M-Files support to know how businesses operate and how they want to use the system in a way that works for them. The customization makes it great for companies to cater to their own needs. Once the system is set up in a way that makes sense for the business, the user experience is positive. There is room for improvement in the notifications, workflow, and support areas.

It does take some time to learn about all of the features and systems within Pinpoint. It is also slightly difficult to set up, however, we have invested a lot of time into making it work for our organization and we don't regret that investment at all. The Pinpoint staff has always been very helpful and accommodating to anything we need.

Performance I noticed some lagging with the integration with Microsoft Office but not so much that I would not use it. It has gotten better with updates. to be fair the issues were when Office 2013 first came out.

Support Rating Usually when I need help from them I got support and it was very good and focused to solve my problem. I didn't have so many problems, but when used it worked. I just would like to have a support in my native language, but I can understand that sometimes is hard for the companies.

The support team with Pinpoint is wonderful. I have always had all of my questions answered in a very timely manner by someone who knows my system and understands our goals. I always feel listened to and our problems are taken care of. I enjoy the option to email for assistance or jump on a quick conference call to talk about an issue

Implementation Rating The key insight is that the most important thing is to have a open mind. The application is easy to use, but if you have a company with different views and it is not aligned could be a huge problem. So the company transformation is required together with the application. Ensure to use as much as possible the capabilities of the application helps to have best ROI.

Alternatives Considered The customization ability seemed to be a level above and easy to navigate and available options are constantly being reinvented. We have used OnBase for years and now desire to move away from this option for a number of reasons.
