FileMaker is great for making databases. It works the same way on both Macintosh and Windows computers, and is the top-selling database for both. FileMaker databases can be shared among multiple users, whether on Mac or Windows or the web; or kept single-user.
FileMaker databases can also be accessed on an iPhone or iPad using the free FileMaker Go app for iOS.
But even though FileMaker is easy to use (and comes with ready-to-use templates), designing a more complex database system still requires analytic and design skill and experience.
I've been using FileMaker since 1985 to develop custom databases — using every version since the very first one, right up to the latest FileMaker Pro.
