Pros
The flexibility of having all legislative changes and deviations in the same system. Simple flow for deviation management. The division of laws means that only those affected by legal changes receive the information, there is no overflow of information that ends up on everyone's table.
We appreciate EcoTech's system which allows us to actively work on our goals and provides us with an organised overview of our company's current status. We also appreciate that they are easy-going and accommodating to work with. As a newcomer to the industry, I have also attended a "training course" at EcoTech where they helped me understand the functions and a sustainable way of working. We also like that they easily update all the laws directly in the system, where they also have the "reading receipts" function that each employee leaves after they have read through the document, which gives us a good overview of how the employees stay up to date.
The advanced search finds documents even by words inside the content.
Workflow automations make it easier to approve, assign, and move documents according to the process.
Easily relate documents and objects to each other with metadata. Easily add new types of metadata, document classes and workflows. Easily find documents with metadata-based searches. Documents can be automatically converted to PDF with administrator-controlled sign-offs (version number, date approved, etc.) when finalised.

Cons
A little awkward sometimes when handling deviations if there are several different responsible parties involved. But it can usually be solved with the advanced module.
We are happy with everything!
The initial learning curve can be a bit steep for those coming from traditional systems.
Some integrations require technical configuration, and the mobile app could be more fluid.
Not possible to set separate access rights for metadata and document content.
Administrator tool (M-files Admin) could be more user-friendly, and some administrator functions are not available in M-files Cloud. Free text search works very poorly, often giving no matches unless the search string is exactly right.
