Pros
"Versions 19, 20 and new (released June 2024) version 21 have focused on empowering professional database builders to deliver and connect their systems to the cloud, network servers and mobile devices (such as smart phones and tablets) and to build more effective e-commerce websites — all at the "cost" of providing hobbyists with more functions for building (perhaps innovative) data processors in and of themselves for delivering to local hard drives of fellow hobbyists. But the full-on evolution of FileMaker in entering the greater digital world is understandable if it is to maintain competitiveness with MS's ubiquitous Access, MYOB, giant SAP and solely internet-based database-creation platforms such as Caspio and the like."
"In a strange way, it's these non-business applications that highlight FileMaker's incredible power as a platform for building any kind of a data processor."
"Flexibility is its main advantage, combining search and report output in almost any combination you want."
Cons
"Visual elements are not responsive with window size"
"What frustrates me about FileMaker - as a freelancer - is the lack of out-of-the-box integration with Google, CardDav and CalDav servers, and - unforgivably - iCloud (considering that Claris is owned by Apple."
"Sometimes slow to integrate with industry standards; the Filemaker Go solution works but is clumsy."
