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.
User-friendly and easy to learn!
- The side panel that allows my team to know how to manage the sales process that we have to follow according to ISO9001.
- Save me time when it comes to onboarding new employees because I don't have to stand next to them and show them how to do different steps in different systems.
- Easy to understand and no complicated configuration

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.
Nothing special so far.
If anything, the sidebar takes up space in the browser window, but it doesn't really bother me that much
