File Pro great softwear - N. Brogan, Nov 16, 2009

Working for an Attorney, files are important to maintain on several levels of information. This software sorts by every way thinkable and is quick at the task. Reports are customizable and present professionally. It was easy to order through Amazon, although it did not come with the booklet and only the CD Rom.

Annoyance - B. Clarke, Oct 15, 2009

Primarily downrated for the accessibility. I was forced to upgrade Filemaker because I purchased a new computer. What I didn't realize that in trying to upgrade files it constantly asked for an account name and password - even when I never used one! The "help" area was not useful and believe me I tried everything.

I'm back to using my old Filemaker on an older machine until I can figure this out!

Good performance and internal reliability but very quirky - J. Boutilier, Sep 12, 2009

I bought Filemaker Pro 10 expecting a fast, mature, reliable, easy to use mainstream RDBMS solution for MAC.

It did turn out to be fast and reliable as a stand-alone program. But its sure not mainstream (offering no native SQL), its user interface is primitive and very un-mac like. It includes some ODBC/JDBC drivers to help integrating third party tools, but they are poorly written buggy, and offer limited functionality so even external SQL access is less than optimal.

Also on the MAC side, some features (like importing from other data sources) require Rosette to be running. Thats not really acceptable for a product thats supposed to be this mature given how long intel MAC's have been around.

If you don't have experience with other databases, and want a fast, powerful, reliable desktop DB for the MAC you might consider it. But there are far better choices on the PC side, and if you ever expect to use more traditional SQL based databases I would not invest the significant effort and time required to learn Filemaker's proprietary system.

Version to version most consistently best program - George F. Greene, Sep 02, 2009

I've used Filemaker since it's been black and white on a Mac Classic. From version to version it has always upgraded my files and performed flawlessly. At FM 6 I migrated over to Windows and the migration of my relational database was virtually flawless -just a little tweaking of layout and fonts.

It has always been very easy to use -I have built entire applications for my personal use and it's always trouble free and fast. It is crazy simple to customize.

I stopped at FM 6 for a while because FM 7 switched to a new database model, more in line with other databases like MySQL. Finally this year I switched to FM 10. I did need to redo my databases into tables and used it as an opportunity to clean out the unused stuff I'd added and then stopped using over 15 years -but I was surprised that it was way easier to migrate than I expected.

FM10 also has a nifty function where, as I update my FM records locally on my computer, it updates the MySQL database where my website is hosted. I enter new products and my website, running off MySQL and PHP is instantly updated!

FM is stable as all get out. My Macs didn't crash but of course my PCs do. When that happens FM will sometimes say it needs to "rebuild the database" -it has NEVER failed to do so. I have never lost data. Also, they don't release until it's right. Windows seems to be in perpetual Beta mode and you get to be the tester but through many upgrades, Filemaker is never half baked -new versions always run well and I'm not on tech support bringing up bugs they didn't catch.

Filemaker has a good deal of power for the power user, but FM has also been the database of choice for people who have no database experience. I started as a newbie many many years ago, found it easy to learn (once I understood the idea of a relational database) and I still love it! When a company does a good job of something I think it's very important to say so (cause usually I'm bitchin'.)
