Pros
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.
A small and highly agile company that does what the big players do, but embraces all the possibilities AI offers. This means that information is automatically extracted from contracts, we can negotiate contracts with AI to make changes and draft new contracts. So the CMS is only a small part.
It's clear to see that you're dealing with an ai-first company. Instead of AI coming in as a tool from the side, the site is built on a foundation of AI. This makes it intuitive to use AI in a very fluid way - where you totally forget that you're actually solving something in 5 minutes that used to take half an hour.

Cons
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.
I do a lot of business with customers abroad, especially Germany, and here it would be nice if CC was more internationally orientated.
ClearContract is not yet on the European market, and I have a lot of transactions with Germany where I miss some features.
