### "Good for some projects"

April 29, 2019

Pros

It makes it very simple to have some sort of database software up and running

Cons

It's very easy to make a mess. If you're not familiar with database structure you may see yourself in a very complicated environment really soon

### "Another admin set it up. I did not have much training using the software but it has not been easy"

June 19, 2018

3.0

Pros

It allows me to do billing for my facility. I like that I have my user accounts , fee per instrument etc all in one program

Cons

Not intuitive. Unless training has been provided it's hard to figure out how to use on your own. Also I have to import my online Instrument calendar separately.

### "FileMaker Review"

July 31, 2019

3.0

Pros

Filemaker seems to have the ability to store many different types of information in one place, and to search that information which is helpful when trying to collect student information all in one place.

Cons

Filemaker is a bit non-user friendly and I had a hard time figuring out how to create a new file, update old files and search the files.

### "I'd rather just use excel."

April 8, 2018

3.0

I do not find any benefit for myself or my team.

Pros

It has a few easier options for you to utilize a more graphical element in your files and lots. It also seems to play very well with Apple.

Cons

I hate Apple products and can't think of anything that excel can't do, and if you prefer a graphical use interface then you can use Access with excel. This to me is a beginners intro to spreadsheets. I'm sure it works for some, I just don't care for it.

### "FileMaker Go complicates, and a copy of FileMaker too expensive"

March 14, 2018

3.0

Pros

Functionality and overall ending product. Intermediate use ability. Hard to understand the FileMaker Go

Cons

Ease of use and functionality, I used FileMaker Go and it is limited in its functionality and I was unable to afford a copy of FileMaker Pro
