Overall Satisfaction with M‑Files

All our business agreements are in M-files. Problems: Search capabilities within M-files are unclear. There's too much metadata to use it user-friendly.
  • Always available (Saas)
  • No lost of data (Backups are done)
  • Performance (Saas and desktop)
  • Search functionalities and complexity
  • Tailored datamodel per customer
  • Difficulty understanding the product and its functions
  • Consideration of customer feedback in product development
