Microsoft Access is a database management system from Microsoft that combines the relational Microsoft Jet Database Engine with a graphical user interface and software-development tools.
MYOB has great accounting features but doesn't have the customisability or features to create the business management system that will do what you want it to do. Using a FileMaker Pro solution for business management and MYOB/XERO for the accounting is a great combination.
I chose FileMaker over a custom DB with Azure and SQL Server because of the low code nature of FileMaker. And we needed ease of access with Apple products so we didn't use Microsoft Access.
I've used Microsoft Access, and it doesn't compare to Filemaker. The Filemaker software system is robust and had the ability to expand and work with other programs. I have a small business, and I can say that for a small to medium sized business, I do not think there is a …
FileMaker Pro is the chaotic, cumbersome and non-integratable little sibling of MS Access. And even MS Access can't be taken serious in a medium sized company. FileMaker Pro can not even be compared to serious products like OutSystems and Sitecore. It's also not free... whereas …

When I discovered FileMaker, I had to completely unlearn what I had thought were the boundaries of data …

I compared FileMaker to Microsoft Access - and am so pleased I selected FileMaker - it was a clear choice to create a database - provide management tools within the database to some users and then give access to many users through the web interface. With Microsoft or other …
FileMaker was so much easier to use and much more flexible. I tried creating a database in access and just got frustrated. In the early 1990's my boss loaded FileMaker 2.0 on my computer & told me to see what I could do with it. With no formal programming training, I created …
FileMaker Pro focuses more on data collection in a single, flat file while Access allows for relationships to be drawn between data tables the reduces duplication. I have not worked with FileMaker Pro for several years but found it to be very unwieldy for my needs which were …
FileMaker is much more robust for sharing amongst users. However, Microsoft has proven useful in its availability to our user base as well as helping drive complex needs to a centralized solution.
