Pros
Handles high-volume contract portfolios with ease. AI search across 1,000+ agreements. Dual vendor/customer management. Fast, hands-on onboarding. Extremely fair pricing for the volume.
Built for complex, volume-based procurement. Live threshold tracking. Manufacturer and member store contracts in one platform. AI-powered contract comparison. A professional, structured onboarding approach.
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
Getting started requires a bit of thought around how you want to structure your contracts and data. Once that structure is established, the platform becomes very straightforward to maintain.
As a Scandinavian co-operative, some of our processes are unique. From what we have seen so far, the platform handles them well, but required configuration and change management.
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.
