M-Files vs Digify: Which is a better fit?

Joe M.: My name's Joe. I'm a principal engineer. I'd give M-Files a 5 out of 5. And for more reviews like this, click down below. Before M-Files we used a PDM system. With switching to M-files, we considered some other software. We looked at using SOLIDWORKS and their PDM system as well as just using Windows. We selected M-Files because we really liked the way you could input metadata and use that to organize all of your files and search in a very powerful way for very detailed things within a document. We came from a more complicated system before using M-Files, so switching over to it was really nice and a blessing. It made it really easy to transition to M-Files. If you're thinking about getting into M-Files, I would really take a look at all the powerful tools that come along with inputting the metadata for each document into M-Files. It really opens up a lot of capability, especially when trying to find a very old document that you don't remember a whole lot about.

Eric H.: Hi, I'm Eric, the general manager of group finance. I give Digify four stars. For more reviews like this, please click below. Before Digify, we were using Google Drive, Dropbox, things like that. But being a startup, we really didn't have anything that was a virtual data room to the same level of security as Digify. We were really looking for a solution that would give us security, the ability to prevent downloads, to really protect even from screenshots printing, things like that, and that's why we went with that system. But it was really the first time using a system like that for our organization, at least. The biggest one would have been simplicity. The system itself, the platform itself, is really quite user-friendly, intuitive, not overly complex, even as far as the security settings are concerned. So it was something that we could really pick up out of the box and start using. Extremely easy. Every user that needed access was given permissions and a user ID. And then, from there, they could create their own virtual data rooms, their own security settings depending on the requirements. And, as the administrator, I could look at those different data rooms and ensure that their settings comply with our organizational requirements and that no one was doing anything that wasn't going to be protecting our valuable data and IP. The recommendations I would have is probably think about how many users you would want to be accessing the system, especially because it does charge you a fair bit per extra user. So you may want to look at having some sort of compliance officer or one or two people in charge of multiple data rooms. It's not something you want to give everyone a username and password, or else the cost would really start to escalate. Other than that, it is a very intuitive system. I find it quite easy to use and quite helpful for what we're doing.
