Overall Satisfaction with FileMaker Pro
FileMaker Pro is used as a replacement for Microsoft Access databases for my customers. FileMaker Pro provides multi-user access, better reliability in networked deployments, installation directly on IOS devices. FileMaker Pro data files also offer much greater data capacity of up to 7TB per file compared to the 2GB file size limit of Microsoft Access. Automated conversion from Access to FileMaker Pro is performed with FmPro Migrator Platinum Edition software.
- Greater File Size - 7TB per file, compared to 2GB per file with Access .ACCDB files.
- Reliable multi-user networking thru Peer-to-Peer or server based implementations.
- Improved developer productivity.
- Capability of being run locally on IOS devices with the free FileMaker Go client software.
- It would be nice to have some automation improvements.
- FileMaker has always provided an excellent ROI in my business and customer businesses I have worked with.
- On multiple projects, I was able to build a features for clients which replaced 8 hours of manual labor with a 2 minute process - just clicking a button in FileMaker and letting it run the calculations and generate the requested reports.
