Filemaker Pro is relational database software that is genuinely cross-platform Mac or PC. This means that, unlike Microsoft Access, the solution can be designed on one platform and run on either. It is also easier for beginners to learn the basics while remaining an extremely powerful Rapid Application Development tool. What is more, Filemaker Pro solutions can be used on mixed platform networks or published online and interacted with via a web browser.
