Top recognition for usability and functionality solidifies M-Files as leader for seventh consecutive year

M-Files Corporation, the intelligent information management company, announced it has been named a “Leader” in the 2020 Nucleus Research Content Management Technology Value Matrix Report. This marks the seventh consecutive year that M-Files has achieved Leader status, as the company further distances itself from competitors as the content management sector frontrunner. This year, M-Files earned the highest recognition for both usability and functionality.

Nucleus Research evaluates content management providers on two core criteria – usability and functionality, as determined by analysis of interviews with end users and ongoing research by the firm. The 2020 report included reviews of 17 vendors and placed them in quadrants based on how Nucleus Research assessed them as Leaders, Experts, Facilitators and Core Providers.
