M-Files serves a variety of industries and business needs for mid-market to Enterprise global B2B companies.
Financial Services, healthcare, government, manufacturing, publishing, insurance, etc.
My overall experience with M-Files is outstanding and I like more with their easy integration with other systems and flexibility in deployment.
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.
It's a great system for organizing files in a secure way - access control is excellent. It's easy for version control too.
Performance is affected when managing large size files, you may want to make periodical back ups to prevent this problem.
The software displays Good picture quality and it is easy to use and it connects to my favorite database software Postgresql.
It is browser compatibility issues. There are some problem when uploading large files.
More over it is open source, that give everyone opportunity to test it and see what stoof it is made of. I really appreciate Alfresco for developing such a good thing.
Free version only permit associate an user for administrator, if this person abandon your user, you lost yours documents. Will present compatibility problems on depend of Java version an browsers.
Have free version, work fine for large number of users. Is a good way for centralize documents manage (for exemple, quality system).
Limiting the deployment model to just docker made initial deployment difficult.
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.
