M-Files is best for companies who have multiple sub companies they can manage whole the operations from one single machine. Companies who only want to get DMS for archiving M-Files is not considered suitable as the it has many features and cost is becoming high.

M-files is well suited for its core tasks like document and information management, automating workflows, keeping track of tasks, sharing materials easily and securely, etc. but I would also recommend to customize M-files to fit for any specific needs. M-files is very versatile and you can integrate it with other software.

Document storage and search works well if the metadata is well setup and filled in by the user or automation. Getting data via REST API could be easier. Now one needs to combine ID:s and values from different API calls and pad manually to get .csv files. The SQL interface would perhaps be better to maintain, but that requires extra setup so REST would be better.

I am not a software expert but understand the complexity of a product such as this, but in my opinion the product is difficult, confusing, and time consuming to master. It takes years if not used constantly. After several years of use I am still learning to manipulate the interface to work as I desire. It gets the job done by holding all of our documents in one place and fairly easy to access once learned.

M-Files is well suited for what it is designed for - document management. The quality of API documentation makes customization of M-files for a particular client a cumbersome task.
