Claris FileMaker（クラリス ファイルメーカー）の評判・口コミ 全210件

What do you dislike?

The licencing policy can be seen as a disadvantage, but compared to the cost of ownership of non "custom made" tools, this cost is, most of the time, well justified.

What do you like best?

With FileMaker we get custom made tools where "ready made" solutions are out of scope. Whenever there is a need for customization, for versatility and evolutions, FileMaker is an excellent candidate. Having worked with a lot of other programming languages, I love the easiness and flexibility of FileMaker. Plus, the end user can have the keys to modify his own tool without deem IT knowledge.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Train a bit with real training solutions or companies if you want to implement your own solution. Or, ask to know existing solutions done with the tool.

It is always bad to try a tool and, while knowing only a few percent of it, deciding it is suited or not for your needs.

What do you dislike?

It's hard to manage the "data design". I hope that we will have a lot of new possibilities to manage that !

What do you like best?

With FileMaker everybody can design a solution in a really short time. We have a lot of possibilities of development if we want to make it really complete too !

What do you dislike?

The licensing model makes it in certain cases difficult to make an attractive offer.

What do you like best?

FileMaker (16) is very stable and offers now everything that is necessary to connect to any kind of service.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Check your usage against the applicable licensing first.

What do you dislike?

Doesn't scale much beyond 500 users. The licensing choices are too complex and confusing.

Cross Platform, creates Web and Mobile apps. 20+ years of feature development means a really full-featured and robust development environment.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Work with a qualified consultant.

What do you dislike?

I do wish it played better with Microsoft applications.

What do you like best?

I LOVE this platform! I left my mechanical engineering career in Silicon Valley, because I love working with FileMaker. That was 25 years ago. I have never looked back, and now I am certified in 7 versions. The product just keeps getting better!

What do you dislike?

It's easy for untrained users to get started, but standards are not enforced within the app, allowing them to create solutions that are not always built for speed or longevity. The good news is, there are plenty of pros in the marketplace.

What do you like best?

FileMaker gives small businesses the ability to solve complex problems with alacrity, making them more competitive with larger operations that have bigger software budgets.

What do you dislike?

A little bit expensive for casual users, but worth every cent for professional business cases.

What do you like best?

Scripting engine allows instant building of workflows and program logic for any business scenario.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Consider FileMaker and a small learning curve to do things you can not even dream of in Excel. Much better results and flexibilty. Most people new to Filemaker realize quit fast that they were just using the wrong tool for their needs. So Filemaker eases the way for using a programmable database instead of a dumb spreadsheet.

What do you dislike?

Would love built-in css support for true responsive design, as well as option for advanced developers to code in a lower level native languages.

What do you like best?

Versatility. Beginners can build simple apps with little or no scripting that increase team efficiency and effectiveness by orders of magnitude. Advanced users can take those simple apps to the next level and build sophisticated solutions at about 25% cost/time of a traditional from-scratch custom web app.

Recommendations to others considering the product

This is a powerful platform, it's not magical. This is a business tool that will transform your business if you invest in learning how to use it.

What do you dislike?

New versions and releases, too frequent. Licensing is somewhat complex. The need for too much third party plugins to do several tasks, not offered on the platform.

What do you like best?

Very powerful and stable if properly used. Has veteran and very experienced developers. Ease to get into, very friendly for small teams. Rapid development tool. Feel the power of commanding an handful of competent programers on a project. It's like the special forces, where a half squad of 5 do Job usually done by a platoon of 30.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Hire someone "combat proven" and experienced on the FileMaker platform and you will not regret it.
