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.
The simplicity and ease of use of the SSP. It makes it very easy to teach our customers how we want them to register their tickets.
That it is an easy system to work in for caseworkers and administrators to develop it.

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.
Configurations. I think there is a good chance to reorganise how the settings are presented to make it easier for a SuperAdmin to go in and make the changes they want. Then we miss an easier integration to send out tickets by email in a smoother way.
Trying to keep a steady introduction of different things that you want to do with the system.
