M-Files ECM

The thing that differentiates M-files from other ECMs is its Meta data driven technology, which makes data transfers seamless as well as really fast. It's really easy to use the drag-and-drop facility, and the learning curve is also very easy; hence, anybody with non-tech or zero knowledge can also use it. Its features, such as ML-based Document Classification and Metadata Extraction along with No-code application design, are really great followed by Web Forms Builder which is again a game-changer in this category

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

"M-Files is the best ECM I have ever used - I have 10+ years of content/document management experience in the manufacturing industry. M-Files is strongly connected to daily business, because in our implementation metadata comes from our core systems like CRM, ERP and PLM. This master data gives structure and power to document management and later AI adoption in a way traditional folder-based systems can't. Everything in M-Files can be used for building views, searching, or reporting. Search covers both document content and metadata. Modern ways of working like drag&drop of files, annotating, and co-authoring are also present on the platform.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Performance of big, global vaults could be better. The possibility to see more data in views simultaneously would be appreciated. There should be more "typical" metadata templates (especially for the first vault) and common tools like content importer available, because it is possible to identify many common needs across industries and businesses.

The "no folder/no location" of the documents. Everything is based on metadata of the documents and not the storage. it organizes information based on what something is, rather than where it is stored.
