If you with to create a custom solution, hire an internal developer. Outsourcing has become challenging and expensive.

What do you dislike?

FileMaker is constantly striving to improve the platform. However, it is frustrating to see some legacy aspects of the platform depreciate and be removed. Things like custom web publishing with xml and php and runtime application support are currently depreciated (or no longer maintained). Many of these features are critical to long time users of the platform. Charting capabilities are also extremely limited, which creates a rather significant barrier for certain use cases in my organization.

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.

Consider FileMaker and a small learning curve to do things you can not even dream of in Excel. Much better results and flexibilty.
