M-Files

Here is M-Files in plain terms. The M-Files metadata-driven document management platform enables knowledge workers to instantly find the right information in any context. Put simply, it is about writing and editing documents together with comments and versions.

It makes the most sense for teams that produce a lot of documents. They also list Business Process Automation (BPA), Cloud Computing, Document Management and Knowledge Management, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a large team, 501 to 1,000 people, which usually shapes who they work with. Bigger vendor, more process. Budget time for procurement.

M-Files is based in Austin, Texas and around since 1989. More on m-files.com.

Before you commit, look at offline access, permissions, and export formats. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.

If you have worked with M-Files, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
