Author infoRatingReview Summary
Director, Service Training at a construction company with 5,001-10,000 employees4.5I find FileMaker a user-friendly, relational tool with great support, rating it 9/10. However, its convoluted pricing and IT's refusal to approve it ultimately prevented my continued use of the solution.
Computer Manager at a university with 10,001+ employees5.0I've used this stable, cross-platform solution for 30 years for personal and work productivity, praising its automation and user-friendliness. My main suggestion is to improve the architecture for easier script sharing across databases.
IT Director at a manufacturing company with 51-200 employees1.5I find FileMaker stable and resilient to attack. However, it struggles with scalability for large data and multimedia, plus finding specialists is difficult. My rating is a 3/10.
Account manager at a tech services company with 11-50 employees4.0I find FileMaker's database useful for invoicing and inventory, noting its stability and scalability. However, the outdated 90s-era UI, difficult data export, and limited search are significant drawbacks, impacting my 8/10 rating.
Executive Medical Director with 51-200 employees4.0I find FileMaker (FM) stable, easy to develop, and its scripting powerful, outperforming MS Access. However, licensing costs for large setups and poor Asian customer support are major drawbacks, making me consider web-based alternatives.
