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.
Unlimited number of users at no extra cost. Easy to deploy for the whole company.
Incredibly easy to use!

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.
Lack of integration with Hubspot
