Pros
Easy and quick to get started. Easy to get an overview, easy to correct if you enter wrong data - just go back and correct.
The system is very intuitive and has a high level of user-friendliness, making it easy to work in. The process for the signatory is smooth and works very well. It is also very easy to upload our existing agreements into the system. A big advantage is that it is possible to control accesses in a good way. In addition, you get a clear overview and can easily see if there is something that needs to be acted on.
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
At the moment we haven't found anything we don't like, what we have missed has been addressed and solved so that we get it, which is greatly appreciated.
Sometimes the user interface can feel somewhat rigid and less intuitive for more complex contracts, especially when dealing with multiple parties or attachments. It can also take some time to get used to the logic of the system and to get all colleagues on board with the same digital way of working.
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.
