Claris FileMaker（クラリス ファイルメーカー）の評判・口コミ 全204件

What do you dislike?

FileMaker is made up on a lot of layers so it is specifically designed with your business in mind. With all of the coding, if there's a simple issue that needs addressing, we need to use a company that specializes in FileMaker to correct the issue or implement a new idea we have. It can get costly since we cannot do this ourselves.

What do you like best?

I like the simplicity of the program. The ease of creating accounts, searching for past and present accounts and uploading data.

Recommendations to others considering the product

FileMaker can certainly work to your benefit if you understand that it is created using a multitude of layers. You can create and alter reports to fit your specific business needs which is a great benefit. Data entry is simple and effective.

What do you dislike?

clunky interface needs updating to be truly useful

What do you like best?

Easily makes replicable forms for business purposes

Recommendations to others considering the product

Make your forms airtight at first, as modifications can cause trouble down the line

What do you dislike?

The first thing we really dislike about FileMaker is; at version 10, FileMaker decided to do a breakup point where older file structure became incompatible with new version 11 and above (12, 14, 15, etc.). So one day, all our existing databases became inaccessible if we want to gain access to latest software version. So we decided to stay with v.10 for a while, until it becomes incompatible with newest computers/operating system. Second thing we dislike a lot is the licensing structure for business that are extremely weird and makes it VERY expensive for nothing. The business licensing requires that you pay a annual license fee for ALL BUSINESS EMPLOYEES, no matter if they are using FileMaker or not. It's what they call "business wide licensing" and it's required. Only other option would be to purchase individual retail licences but it's extremely expensive. So for example we are a 65 employees business, but only 20 employees uses F.M., but we have to pay 65x users fees annually!

Well, only pros about FileMaker is that it's a bit easier to use than other software/database development application software, such as Microsoft Access.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Be careful about the business pricing as I explained in a early question, this can be very expensive for your business.

What do you dislike?

Biggest complaint was that it was very, very slow. Reports could take 15, 20 minutes to process and you couldn't keep working while they ran.

What do you like best?

It provided a useful way to track orders through the supply chain. No frills, but did the job.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Good product, no frills.

What do you dislike?

FileMaker is expensive to maintain. Every year we have to pay an individual or an agency almost $200/hour to fix the little things that break as FileMaker ages. As everything is moving towards web-based databases and products, FileMaker is stuck in the past as a Desktop application. It requires a server to host it and, worst of all, information can easily be deleted if someone doesn't know what they're doing

What do you like best?

We use FileMaker as our internal comprehensive database, and we have built it out to function well for what we need it to do.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Keep searching for other cloud-based options instead of this clunky remnant of the '90s!

What do you dislike?

FileMaker would be even better, should it be available in the native language of my home country, which is Finland and the language is Finnish. Also the present licensing and pricing makes it hard for small users to start or to stay with FileMaker. Certainly the software is worth it, one might say FileMaker is the most underrated software on the market today. But on the other hand there are new "Free of Charge" services appearing constantly. Comparison with Microsoft Office also adds to the confusion. On the other hand FileMaker is incredibly multifaceted and absolutely the best-

What do you like best?

Ease of building a relational database without knowledge of traditional coding languages. Ease of designing a good looking and well working graphical interface. Ease of combining commands and scripts to make touch buttons for others to use intuivitially. Ease of using the one and same solution for distributing over server or locally on Apple Mobile devices. Ease of making the solution available for all, including Android mobile devices by using web browsers.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Consider the possibilities to use this software for multiple implementations, thus easing the pain of the cost.

What do you dislike?

There is nothing I dislike about FileMaker. Well, maybe one thing - if a file is deleted in error, there is no option to recover it.

What do you like best?

FileMaker is one of the main software applications used in my job in higher education. It is very user-friendly, simple to learn and has several reporting mechanisms that streamline our catalog production process.

What do you dislike?

Only being able to add one primary contact for any account, this is not ideal for a company who may have more than one person speaking to that account for different reasons and therefore different points of contact

What do you like best?

The ability to schedule my calls within FileMaker

Recommendations to others considering the product

If you have multiple sales teams using this, I would look at other options as you end up having multiple accounts and duplicates over time

What do you dislike?

Whenever we needed to change things we had to wait for a contractor to make the needed changes. And it was窶冢t always cheap to customize the software

What do you like best?

We could customize the software to add many different features.

Recommendations to others considering the product

FileMaker is high maintenance, poor user interface, poor for mobile and not a cloud based CRM. Using contractors to build out the features we need is costly, slow and sometimes buggy. I would not recommend File Maker.
