"Crashes Constantly"
Version: FileMaker Pro 11.0.4.401
Pros
Generally very flexible and much more useable for the novice if you buy "The Missing Manual" for it. Highly modifiable, and they offer decent online support if you sign up for their FileMaker Pro forums and knowledge base.
Cons
I'm running FileMaker Pro 11.0v4 on two mac mini's. One runs Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and the other Lion (10.7). The biggest issue is stability. I manage 10 students on a NSF grant to database a collection at Cornell. It is not a complex database, but many fields are required for the specimens we are digitizing. Each student uses their own database and rarely has over 3000 entries. The databases are saved off-site on a server. Regardless of useage via the server or directly on the hard drive, I have found that FMPro 11 crashes constantly, especially at the start of data entry. Once a student has been entering data and has 100 or more entries it tends to crash less. Crashes can lose up to 20 entries at time (about an hours worth of work). Options are limited. Open Office Base isn't as powerful, Microsoft doesn't make Access for Mac, and FMPro users don't like to hear that their favorite (and only) databasing program for Mac is flawed.
Summary
FMPro 11 certainly is useful in some ways. If you are adept at scripts and programming this software is for you. However, basic essentials like the ability to select multiple records at the same time and saving your work are missing. Those are two examples of many. FMPro 11 autosaves constantly, but that that is useless if the program crashes as data is lost as are people hours.
Honza. You are biased in your response. Read my review more carefully. I work at an Ivy League university. The problems are real. I've used two versions of the program over two OS's on 6 different computers for over 2 years with the same problem. Having a developer fix my problems is moot since a well-oiled and coded databasing system shouldn't need that much repair. All of your excuses for why the database crashes have been troubleshot and are not the issue here. It's just a glitchy program. Also, going through the menu to "save a copy as" is a lot different than "control or command" + S. And when you are working on thousands of entries where time is important, it's useful to have simple options like that. Finally, I don't need to know why you think tools aren't offered. I need the tools. Period. As for a 99% satisfaction rating, maybe you should check out the other ratings. FMPro does not get stellar reviews and for good reason.
The online FMPro 11 community is helpful but loyal to the program to a fault, being somewhat too brainy for its own good. They are more adept at answering complex program questions than helping you figure out why FMPro 11 doesn't offer the most basic and useful tools that you can find in Access, Excel, or Base software.
The Missing Manual for FMPro 11 is very useful for beginners, but doesn't solve why this program crashes so much. I think it would be very useful if it was more user friendly or more intuitive to the beginner or novice.
Experts will find this to be a powerful databasing tool that is highly flexible for whatever they want to produce. It offers several different views to manipulate data and create forms, and is nearly limitless in what you can create a database for. I give it 2 stars out of 5 because all of that is moot if the program is so unstable it can't help but crash at least once an hour.
It does offer recovery options, but the databases are often hopelessly corrupt, so the only safeguard is to constantly back up, via copy and paste, into a safe folder. Having a simple "save as" option would be incredibly useful, but becomes another example of a basic and useful tool that this program is lacking completely.
You should try it out, but be wary of it crashing. Maybe you'll have better luck, but don't trust your data entry to this program until a stable build is made available.

"Best database for the Mac."
Version: FileMaker Pro 11.0.3.312
Pros
Full featured, web integration, ease of programability, flexibility in layout and robust data protection.
Cons
Past updates have made some earlier versions incompatible or required much reprogramming. Hopefully, this will not be the case in the future.
Summary
Outstanding product
-
"Good for big users I'm sure"
Version: FileMaker Pro 11.0.3.312
Pros
Many features
Cons
Be prepared to rewrite old scripts because they don't seamlessly update
Summary
For the small business user. Bento is too stripped down, Filemaker is too complicated

"Easy to use powerful database system"
Version: FileMaker Pro 11.0.3.312
Pros
Ridiculously easy to use and format, ideal for 'fast and dirty' database programming, and can also be scaled up for robust bigger systems, or issued as runtime through Filemaker advanced
Cons
Slow! On most databases on modern computers you won't notice this. However, the code is not compact or optimised for an enterprise level solution. Migration to MySQL etc is data-only.
Summary
Most databases these days are Excel spreadsheets -- a highly risky strategy for any data of more than passing importance. Filemaker is vastly more powerful and functional, and only marginally less 'obvious'. It has a very high degree of control over forms and relations, as well as strong calculations and a serviceable scripting system. Filemaker has worked hard to create enterprise versions of it, using Filemaker Server. Although this is a robust solution, the speed doesn't match high-end enterprise solutions, although the costs are a lot lower. Vastly preferable to Access for many applications, and makes construction of a database as part of a project solution a fairly easy step, which can itself save months of work and specification. However, you have to take your own steps to ensure data robustness, as the 'anything can relate to anything' ease of use can easily produce results which are unexpected (ie, illogical).
Not had any problems installing any version.

"Updater Doesn't Work! Over priced application"
Version: FileMaker Pro 11.0.2.220
Pros
This is a great software but...
Cons
The updater doesn't work, it gives an error message telling that it can not find a valid copy of FileMaker Pro, even though I have it installed. Too expensive to buy.
Summary
This a great application and I can do a lot with it, but I never had the chance to buy it, I just tried the trial version, It's way too expensive.

"Was no good for opening old version files"
Version: FileMaker Pro 11.0.2.220
Pros
no good for required purpose
Cons
no good for required purpose
Summary
Discarded it since it was of no use opening my old filemaker files
-
"Updater does nothing."
Version: FileMaker Pro 11.0.2.220
Pros
None. Since "none" is too short a comment for CNET's system, let me change that to "absolutely none."
Cons
Doesn't install.
Summary
I don't like seeing a notice for an updater in CNET Tech Track and then finding that the updater doesn't update.
-
"updater didn't work"
Version: FileMaker Pro 11.0.2.220
Pros
This category does not apply.
Cons
I wrote and called FMP. They could not help me get the updater to work.

"Still has no real PostgreSQL support"
Version: FileMaker Pro 11.0
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
We have clients with database-served websites. We were planning to suggest they use Filemaker to connect to their site data hosted on PostgreSQL. We just checked in on this new version and it looks like you can still connect the slow way via ODBC but the faster, two-way pipeline that connects to other sources like MySQL still doesn't connect to PostgreSQL. With so many people bailing on MySQL we thought they'd get this added. Looks like it's a bunch of charts with a price increase. How frustrating. Guessing they're missing a lot of potential customers. -
