Claris FileMaker

Claris FileMaker is a low-code platform for building business apps tailored to an organization. Users can shape apps with drag-and-drop design tools, templates, add-ons, reporting and data imports, then use the Script Engine to automate workflows, data processing and app behavior without a traditional programming language. Apps can run on Mac, Windows, iPhone, iPad and the web, hosted through FileMaker Cloud or FileMaker Server. Integration options include Claris Connect, the FileMaker Data API, OData, cURL, ODBC/JDBC and external SQL sources such as MySQL, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server. On iOS, supported features include GPS, barcode scanning, signature capture, device sensors, Core ML, Siri Shortcuts and NFC reading. The listed pricing note starts at $39/user/mo; FileMaker also has a free 45-day trial with full platform access from day one and no credit card required. Claris says FileMaker Cloud has AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.2 in transit and stated security certifications. It does not claim HIPAA compliance and says its cloud service and Claris Connect must not handle protected health information.
