Overall Satisfaction with M‑Files

We used M-Files as a general backend for multiple completely custom deployments aimed at delivering value to our customers, specifically in the industrial asset management segment. M-Files supports our custom product via its advanced document search and sharing capabilities, and acts as the main database for most of the data that is being handled in our deployments.

Pros

  • Any and all search across all objects
  • Access management capabilities
  • Accessibility across multiple device types

Cons

  • User interface definitely needs improvements
  • Speed could be much faster especially with large amounts of objects
  • Administrative interface needs improvements
  • API documentation needs improvements

Integrations were by and large easy to implement using a ready-made service bus component. Custom code was required, but it was simple to create and deliver without much hassle. Some API documentation improvements would be met with gratitude by the dev teams, that is for sure.
M-Files delivers best-in-class search capabilities. It simply devastates the competition when used even half-way correctly.

M-Files is in my experience the absolute best document management system currently in existence. It allows for extreme flexibility to suit the needs of any organization, especially in access management. I have never seen a system other than M-Files that delivers the same functionality in document search and access management.
