"All in one. Full-Stack solution"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Claris FileMaker?

You can do everything in one place, as a full-stack developer you will find it very useful, intuitive and most of all, fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Claris FileMaker?

You are in a completely closed ecosystem. Although recent versions improve interoperability with other software through RESTful and API, you still are very limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Claris FileMaker:

It is a close ecosystem. If your requirement should interact with other services, you will have difficulties. Yes, there is an API (extra charged), but it does not compare to your own coded app. The cost is based on your concurrent users: Not only you will need FileMaker Server but also pay as many users you will need to support. So yes, easy of use and deployment of your solution keeps with a price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Claris FileMaker solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am a .NetCore/SqlServer/FrontEnd developer. I am fully aware the limits of the scripting language used in FileMaker, and the frustration when it comes to integrate with other services. But even those, I find FileMaker an extremely useful tool. Whenever I need to solve something in a hurry, make a dummy just to prove a concept, or deploy a solution enterprise wide with a tight time constraint; filemaker makes my work get done fast and production ready.
