M-Files serves a variety of industries and business needs for mid-market to Enterprise global B2B companies.
Best for legal, sales and finance teams that work with content IP.
It is a great way to organize and access files, and the user interface is intuitive and easy to use. The powerful features allow for customization and the ability to access files quickly and easily.
Data Management System with Really Bad User Interface.
This application helps in all these functions and much more by its high quality features that are superb easy to handle as well.
It's not a user friendly program, there is no drag and drop option (currently) and it almost impossible to work with this software in a way that we work with windows.
Easy user intuitive interface that allows for dynamic and complex workflow processes. The ease of the install and how fast we were up and using it was amazing.
Typical for some IT-solutions: "almost anything can be done with M-Files. Takes away focus of what problem exactly is solved with M-files.
It will be the best money you spend and will save you the cost is saved searching in weeks.
Drop your files into the M-files and edit/download from where you are.
The software is easy to use, flexible and reliable. The stable of the software is very important.
The reporting tool is hard to use when trying to build complex reports. The new UX annoyingly has lots of little functional bugs we'd have expected to see caught in testing.
However, the support has been getting better and better. It is very important especially the software is configured/used differently by each customer.
It is confusion sometimes. As there have more devices with smaller screens, thinking about business users use iPad, it is harder to access/update data.
There's a tremendous amount of control to fit this software to the way we do our business and the Rightsline team have been outstanding in helping us to build out our vision.
Being able to search by name or project is the most convenient feature of RIghtsline. He tabs at the top that allow you to see all the associations with the project are extremely useful.
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.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
