About Filemaker
FileMaker was initially developed in the 1980s by Nashoba Systems and later acquired by Claris, an Apple subsidiary. It was created to provide a user-friendly database management system for both Macintosh and Windows platforms, enabling users to create custom database solutions without extensive programming knowledge.
Strengths of FileMaker include its user-friendly interface, cross-platform compatibility, and robust customization options. Weaknesses encompass its relatively high cost and limited scalability for very large enterprise applications. Competitors include Microsoft Access, Airtable, and Zoho Creator.
