Web Direct technology still needs fine tuning.

What do you like best?

You can build customized desktop, iPhone, web business solutions for a fraction of the cost of competing SQL options.

What do you dislike?

You have to keep context in mind in every step of the solution design. I guess this is normal and it allows you to be as precise as you might want to be, but it's a time consuming requirement.

The quality of the final product they offer is a well designed software tool that helps me the way I really need, with a user friendly interface, a powerful data base engine and a wide set of functions to automate and solve easily problems and comply with the specifications

Recommendations to others considering the product

It's a very wise decision to give it a try. It has the strong quality that the parent company has made a standard in the industry, and it's a very friendly and user oriented product. It has been 30 years that they are around in the market, and still growing at a fast pace

What do you dislike?

The cost of connections in the platform is something that still needs improvement. There's also the need of improvement for multi-development support.

What do you like best?

I think the best thing about FileMaker is the possibility of creating solutions for several segments of businesses in a short time. There's one more about FileMaker: the ease of the development processes: creating tables and connecting them visually helps a lot, especially if you still don't have complex database skills. It is amazing the fact that you can start up a new solution and design it according to your business workflow. If necessary, you can integrate your FileMaker database with several other technologies and cross data to make better decisions.

You should try it. Install the trial version and start developing your own solutions. There's a great community of FileMaker Developers from around the world on the web. You can also watch tutorials on YouTube, from simple to advanced techniques.

I would be happier if it worked even faster.

What do you like best?

The tight integration between user interface, security and automation.

Recommendations to others considering the product

FileMaker can be an easy database to get started with which is what FileMaker calls a "Citizen Developer", especially for single user local databases. But developing a well integrated multi-user system with appropriate user interface and security controls is involved. If you are a Citizen Developer, great, but it is recommended to either improve the Citizen Developer's Training to a level of being FileMaker certified or hire a consultant if you want to take solution to the level of mission critical business applications. While FileMaker may be easier than many other tools due to its excellence as a Rapid Application Development tool, the development of professional user interface, planning normalized and optimized schema, and implementing security is not simple even from a tool that is designed to make it easier. Then again, FileMaker is very great tool for Citizen Developers who do not need a production level solution, but need more power than an advanced Spreadsheet to track relational data. Users familiar with spreadsheet concepts are good candidates to become FileMaker Citizen Developers. Making good use of FileMaker does not mean you have to rise to the level of a professional developer and Citizen Developers can solve many problems with FileMaker.

What do you dislike?

Sometimes the product crashes and I cannot figure out why. I wish it was more stable.

What do you like best?

I chose FileMaker 25 years ago, because I was not a developer and did not want to spend the time learning a complicated language. 25 years later, I have helped thousands of people in the hearing health community to become much more efficient and organized. I could never have done so without the incredible flexibility and affordability offered by FileMaker, Inc. Of course the product is not perfect, but it's pretty close and I would highly recommend FileMaker to anyone who needs a product that allows rapid development at minimal cost. Lifelong fan.

Recommendations to others considering the product

It's a bit of a commitment, but I don't think you'll regret the time you invest while learning the product.

What do you dislike?

The lack of separation between data and code makes it harder to do your coding in a dev environment to easily implement in live once you're ready.

What do you like best?

In FileMaker it is easy to be flexible. Roll out the basic solution and start adding refinements as you go along and get user feedback.

What do you dislike?

Nothing I can think of... FileMaker really listens to its community to bring new features to its platform.

What do you like best?

Right after downloading FileMaker software, I can create powerful database applications for my clients. I have been using FileMaker for over 23 years now!
