The plugins required to extend functionality can be expensive as well.In addition the server part of the software is about $300-$800 a year Expensive compared to the free alternative: It costs about $100 per year for a local user, $150 per developer, if you are using it as a website you need specialized hosting, which tends to cost more.Inflexible: it does what it does well, but if you need more your out of luck for the most part.Built in support for importing exporting excel, cvs, tab-formatted.Has some neat built in tricks like built in graphs, tab controls, web viewers.Changing field/database/script names after the fact is free.For the most part, drag and drop programming.Anyone with access can edit the program.There are many plugins available to extend functionality.Cross-platform (Mac OS X, Windows, iOS).Easy to deploy locally, turn on sharing and connect from another client.Here are the pros and cons of using Filemaker Pro vs PHP/MySQL/HTML in my experience.
Comparing the two, they both have pros an cons. It's like you have MySQL, PHP, HTML and your editor put together in a GUI. They're both in the same category of software, they're integrated programming environments.
Calling Filemaker Pro, Access for the Mac is kind of like saying, Mac OS X is Windows for the Mac.
