Yeah, I’m aware of FileMaker. We actually use it a lot at my job, but I don’t because I can’t access it remotely from a Linux server. Not sure if that’s a quirk with the FileMaker server security we have or a lack of support.
I also tend to avoid it because it’s halfway in between Access and a real SQL database (Postgres, MySQL, etc). But also — have you seen how expensive it is? If you want an individual license, it’s >$500. Or you can get a subscription per user per month.
FileMaker seems like one of those applications that Apple has never really known quite what to do with.
