 Version to version most consistently best program Sep 02, 2009
By George F. Greene
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'.)

Excellent file manager! Apr 04, 2009
By Manuel De La Garza
I am a dentist, and in dentistry all the computer software are extremely expensive and limited. The Mac File MakerPro 10 has resulted in an excellent option to manage all our patients charts information, as well as our dental dealer's, referall's and almost all the dental office info that we usually keep in our records.
It is very easy and friendly to use. I strongly recomend it for either business or home use.

Switching from AppleWorks Apr 29, 2009
By E.K.
As a home user, I delayed getting FileMaker Pro for Mac for a long time due to the price, continuing to use old AppleWorks databases. I couldn't switch to Bento because it's Leopard only (I need to run it on a Tiger machine as well). Also, if you transfer between computers, I believe you have to export/import Bento files vs simply transfer the file as is the case with FMPro.
So with some trepidation, I paid the big bucks (for me) for FileMaker Pro plus the "Missing Manual," and I couldn't be happier. I would've given it 5 stars except for a tiny bug that I found a work around for. For those switching from AppleWorks, don't worry - it's confusing for a week or so and then you'll love it.

Outstanding Database Management Software Jan 05, 2010
By Keith White
FileMaker Pro 10
Conflict of interest disclosure: FileMaker provided a free copy of FileMaker Pro 10 to me for the purpose of this review.
FileMaker comes in two editions, standard Pro and Pro Advanced and is available in versions for both the Windows and Macintosh platforms. There is also a FileMaker Server 10 edition. This is a review of standard edition of FileMaker Pro 10 for Mac and will focus on the new features.
FileMaker Pro is a database for a single user that includes the capability to access remote FileMaker databases. FileMaker allows the user to store virtually any data type (i.e. text, numbers, photos, movies, etc.) and to define relationships between data fields. It provides multiple ways to access and manipulate the data. It is designed to be utilized by users that are new to database development and also by the advanced user. Developer tools are available for the advanced user.
The capability of FileMaker to import, access, and export data is one of its strong points. It utilizes open XML and OBDC standards for the exchange of data. Reports can be produced in pdf format and can be published on the web.
Extensive information about how to utilize all of the features of FileMaker Pro is available on the FileMaker web site and can be found at : [...]
FileMaker Pro 10 comes with 30 starter solutions and 10 new themes.
When I was offered the opportunity to review FileMaker Pro 10, I was interested to find out how far the database software had progressed since I had last used it over five years ago and to see if it was still as valuable a resource as I had know it to be. I first used FileMaker when it was only available for the Macintosh platform. For a number of years, I used it on a daily basis.
FileMaker Pro 9 was already installed on my iMac when I installed FileMaker Pro 10. After FileMaker Pro 10 was installed, I opened an existing FileMaker Pro 9 database. A new database was produced with "copy" appended to the name. All functions appeared to perform the same as they had when the database was being accessed by FileMaker Pro 9. No problems or error messages were encountered. Both FileMaker Pro 9 and FileMaker Pro 10 continued to be fully functional.
When reviewing the new features that come with FileMaker Pro 10, I found a mixture of features that included new tools, enhancements to existing features, and changes that will ensure that FileMaker Pro databases will be available to any location on the Internet in the foreseeable future.
The "Saved Find" feature, in my opinion, adds a quick and easy way to select records within the database and eliminates the need to re-enter a specific find that is being used multiple times. I found this feature easy to setup and use.
The "Status Toolbar" feature allows the user to customize the toolbar to match the individual needs of each database. At first glance, the area allocated for the Status Toolbar seemed to be too large. Even after I selected my favorite features, a lot of blank space remained. However, if I really needed this space to be available for the viewing of the database records, I had the choice of hiding the Status Toolbar. A possible future enhancement would be the capability to adjust the size of the status toolbar.
When I started this review, I was not aware of the addressability issue that involves the IPv4 and IPv6 standards. The current IPv4 standard is based on a 32-bit address and provides an addressing capability of about 4 billion addresses. The IPv6 Standard is based on a 128 bit address and significantly increases the number of available addresses. Bottom line, with IPv6 support as part of FileMaker Pro 10, the migration from IPv4 address standards to IPv6 address standards should be a non-event for FileMaker Pro users.
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with both the new features and the overall capability of FileMaker Pro 10. This software product far exceeds my capability to come up will problem situations. In the past, I have seen users relatively new to database software, develop amazing and highly productive solutions. I consider FileMaker Pro to be an outstanding software product.
One of the key issues that has sold me on FileMaker Pro is the developers commitment to the open exchange of data. Over the years, they have consistently enhanced FileMaker to be compatible with standards that support the exchange of information between various platforms. The new features "Send Mail via SMTP", "Updated ESS Support", and "IPv6 Support" are three examples of this continuing commitment.

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