Claris FileMaker（クラリス ファイルメーカー）の評判・口コミ 全229件

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?

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?

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

What do you like best?

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?

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?

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 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?

Nothing. I have been using FileMaker for over 15 years and have solved countless problems with it.

What do you like best?

Easy to get started and automate business tasks. FileMaker changes to fit the needs of your business rather than having to change you business to fir the needs of the software.

What do you dislike?

FileMaker doesn't lend itself well to out-of-the box grid (Excel style) data presentations in businesses where this kind of visualisation is required, though it is still possible to accommodate, either using the table layout view or through customised portals that allow for filtering and column sorting.

What do you like best?

FileMaker offers a very powerful, self-contained platform for developing custom applications of any level of complexity, from single, departmental processes to company-wide business management systems. With no external technologies (though it is possible to integrate with third-party software and databases) it makes a solution very robust and predictable.

Recommendations to others considering the product

FileMaker offers huge opportunity for a robust custom business application that can tackle one or many areas of any business type, but to gain the best from it, it does require expert development, using scripting, triggers, reports and the underlying database design to deploy truly powerful software that goes beyond the digitising of forms or replacement of Excel spreadsheets. When done with the benefit of experience, a FileMaker solution can provide powerful data capture, automation and business insight.

What do you dislike?

There is little to dislike but it would be great to see a continued effort towards web and mobile integrations.

What do you like best?

Centralized Data, User Experience and Interface, Rapid Development, Business Analytics, Low-Code environment, Accurate data capture, Cross platform functionality, Data management, API integrations.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Moving away from flat file spreadsheets was the best business decision I've made in my career. The FileMaker user interface is lean and flexible and the performance of the relational database is unmatched dollar for dollar.
