Phil T
Hobbyist
5.0

Philip T.: My name is Phil. I'm a writer and I give IntelliJ IDEA 5-stars. I decided to try and learn how to write code for Android applications, so I used IntelliJ IDEA as the environment to do that work. It has absolutely everything on it. It's all in one place. Easy to navigate as well and nice clean interface. It was easy to use. I picked it up really quickly. The Help files could probably be improved for IntelliJ IDEA because it offers so much that you can do. There's a lot that you need to learn. So if you're new to the platform, there's a very steep learning curve.

4.0

Mark: My name is Mark. I'm the president. I give Claris FileMaker Pro a four. For more reviews, click below. I use Claris FileMaker Pro for our databases for media. That includes radio, that includes other types of media, such as newspapers, magazines. I also use it to keep our customers together. What I like most about Claris FileMaker is the ability to keep making databases based on the previous database. So, for example, save your file as, so if you're using it to do another task, you could still keep those names and it works really smooth that way. Well, Claris FileMaker Pro is a complicated and powerful database, so you're going to need some training or someone who has experience in database work to set it up so it doesn't set up so easily.
