Transparency alternatives to M-Files
Other Document management vendors we measure, sorted by how much we found at them and not at M-Files. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 61 that differ from M-Files on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
M-Files has 10 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Data location stated, Status page with history, Certifications named, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116), Notice before subprocessors change, Named privacy contact. The column “Found there, not found at M-Files” is the one that closes them.

Only criteria we could measure for both are counted. Where we could measure one and not the other, the row is silent: that would be a statement about our measurement, not about either vendor. Every single result with its source is on the two profiles.
