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.

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

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.

What do you dislike?

What's not to like? An ever-growing list of calculation functions and script commands, an ever-improving pallet of layout and UI tools, and increasing interaction with other technologies?

What do you like best?

I've been able to make a 20-year career programming in FileMaker and its associated products, helping businesses and individuals organize and share their information, and automate their business processes. And yet FileMaker surprisingly easy for the new user to pick up and begin to solve problems with. Ease of initial use, combined with extensibility that is off the charts, for all FileMaker's great features, this has to be the most important attribute.

Recommendations to others considering the product

For small to medium-sized workgroups, stop looking, this is your answer!

What do you dislike?

Long term scalability is always a concern in many of the applications we have developed. However when we get to needing to scale state wide or nationally we will cross that bridge then.

Having a business background I often found I needed a custom app to solve a real problem in business. However I needed something fast and economical but also something that could continue to evolve. FileMaker has been the best approach for this.
