M-Files Erfahrungen

this software makes it very easy to share data

forms cannot be customized and for this reason you feel as if you are not so cared

The posibilite to integrate M-Files with the data of other applications running in the company. So we benefit from the data that we had validated over the years.

Some problems with the length of some of the names documents. there is problem with documents that have more than 250 characters

Having a single Repository for our documents and not having to save/search by location simplifies things

Adobe DC issues blank/corrupt and/or not saving (but not giving an error). When I add a property of AKA the AKA does not default off the Real Estate & When I then search by AKA the new docs not found (unless I have manually added AKA). Can't add doc to multi-file by file/save as. Can't file/save as/replace e.g. open PDF in Acrobat to edit it must save outside vault then Replace file with. Want more operators in search & view: like, is not =, or, wild card. Want to be able to create a new view directly from a search result. Want ability to split/save multi page PDFs. eg 10 invoices as single PDF we currently have to split/save outside vault first.Manually created permissions are complicated. Need to use windows command `open with for likes of Visio want it to be able to open app by default based on file type. Want more options for notifications. Error msgs do not define the issue clearly. eg `cannot call methods on mftextcontrol prior to initialization; attempted to call method `setToeditMode which we often receive when saving a new document

Organizing the documents by tags and searching are made so easy with M Files. It is also possible to create documents with fixed templates via M Files, all connected to CRM softwares.

It can be difficult to learn in the beginning.

I support M-Files for a customer and have found it to be very easy to work with (from an IT-perspective). My customer absolutely loves it. I have to admit, it's a slick product and the idea of having 1 place that indexes all of the content you can throw at it, whether you're in the office or mobile, is amazing.

Really no complaints. I have not had any issue nor has my customer, and they've used it for many years.

We can reach our business files from everywhere thanks to M-Files. Our files are in safe and we have no doubt that they will get lost. Also we can share files which have big size with our colleagues and suppliers easily.

You need to write many information to register a file. It takes so many time. Also you does not find files sometimes because you need to put keywords but you may forgotten.

It is very easy to send files to another users

User interface is vey bad. It is very difficult to find required files

its useful features I can easily locate each one of my folder and even the content present in a certain file. It keeps simple and easy to understand interface. It provides totally remarkable services.

It keeps my documents save and secure and also it provides advanced privacy settings. Its support is also skilled and responsive.

I love how you can look up information using any key word you plan to find in a document. Whether a name or account number or anything of that nature. Everything uploads pretty quickly and you can click and slide what you need right into an email.

I honestly cant find anything I don't like about it. Its very helpful. Easy to use. It does literally everything I need it to do.

This application helps in all these functions and much more by its high quality features that are superb easy to handle as well. It provides us a completely well developed and organized platform for content management.

I have positive experience with M-files. It not also let us manage all the contents but also provides effective services.

-ease of searching
-customize features
-document version ability
-youtube videos

-the biggest delay in rolling out M-files to our organization was that there was no model in which to consult. No prescribed list of document types or a model to play with.
-From a records point of view, document retention should be built in somehow. We create thousands of documents daily and while some are permanent retention, most are transitory and should have a review process. I've been left to conduct record audits and manually determine record value based on a number of factors of the documents.

Versioning functions allows you to go back if you made a mistake. Also, its integration with MS office is useful.

Overall user interface is very bad. Not encourage you to use it. Also, link sharing etc is very hard. People are always frustrated with new tools and it is not easy to encourage them to use. Thus, user interface and easiness of use is key. Mfiles does not provide that.

The fact that I can define a solution with the software that fits our business.

I think the professional services are expensive and cost prohibitive. That is not a problem with the software but it is a problem if you want to leverage the product. You really need in house expertise if you want to get what you need from the software.

All uploaded documents can be opened by phone in anywhere where you have an internet access. Also customized category definitions help to find documents quickly.

Windows folder type (drop and upload) strategy can be implemented to user interface to provide more flexibility to users when they need to upload more than one document.

Retrieval of documents, and analysis opportunities.

It takes some adjustment to move from a linear filing sensibility to a meta-data driven system. I still think linear. But I am getting over it!

Ease of use, appearance (good user interface.

Did not really have the capabilities with regard to AutoCAD documents that we were led to believe it had. These capabilities have had to be developed by M-Files, which has taken a long time.

Rich in Features, more flexible, more Connections with other Solutions, Metadata based Permission

Like adding Tables, images in Text Box, Need more expertise in using Configuration, compliance kit.

It's approachable and it works as an Add-In with other Microsoft products.

It is a little expensive for small businesses. It has so many features that we are not using because we don't have a designated IT person on staff to help to understand them all and put them into practice.

You can set a group and send the file to this group who involves this group ,the M-file system sends a remind e-mail if somebody change something in the file system so I can understand when somebody upload a file. This is very good feature.

File transfer logic is a little bit different and it is not familiar to me because I was used to use easy cloud system such as apple cloud,etc..

- Easy to use
- Keeps files organized
- Allows for accountability as well (who recorded/uploaded what, when, etc)

Number Formatting (no commas allowed, so 1,000,000 looks like 100000...not a big issue, but could be something for the future)

its ease of use, its flexibility to configure, its metadata approach, its visionary approach towards intelligent information management, its platform thinking, its integration possibilities, no more silos, etc.

The iOS environment is not yet state of the art, however M-Files and its partners are working on a client.

Ease of use - value for money

Some aspects not as intuitive ad they shoild be

Very Flexible
Easy to configure
Workflow engine well design
Pricing stucture make affordable for SMB or Entreprise

API document not up to date

M-Files is really easy to use as it integrates directly with Microsoft windows.
Tracking document changes are great.
Searching for files is very fast, even in the cloud.
Once properly setup it is really great, We used an Australian company, they know pretty much everything about it!
It is cheaper now.

Files have to be saved with keywords so they can be found easily.
You really need a third party company like to help setup automation and workflows to get the full benefits.

The fact that it's not only a common DMS but we can develop businesses processes with electronic documents and all the workflows, notifications and views features.

Nothing to declare. I really like to work with the software. It would be a good idea to have a UK 24hours support.
