Development platforms have come and gone but not FileMaker.
Why has it been around for over three decades and why will it be around for more decades to come?
If you develop using FileMaker, you probably know the answer already. Even if you do know why FileMaker is so great, I'm going to make some points that will help you to explain it to your clients, IT department or boss. Or, you can just refer them to this article.

So, why do people use FileMaker?

This gives any company that is using it multiple deployment options and can be used on a mixed network effortlessly. Compare this to Microsoft’s Access which only runs on Windows. And before you ask, no, it doesn’t run on Android (hell will freeze over before that happens) but ,you can run the Windows version of it on tablets like Surface Pro. FileMaker also has its own web technology called WebDirect which means that you can develop a solution, install it on FileMaker Server and then access that through any web browser without those users having to install FileMaker on their machines. WebDirect pretty faithfully reproduces the interface that the developer has designed and puts it straight on the web page. Sure, it has its limitations but it is a phenomenal tool and is only going to get better.

As a 100% cross-platform database, Filemaker offers you a huge amount of flexibility in comparison to the conventional non-web-based database platforms.
Didier Daglinckx's insight:
With the choice of operating system, web browser, and devices varying from one user to another, it has become essential for applications to seamlessly integrate information stored on different data sources.
Also, many organizations explore advanced options to manage and share important information with the members of their distributed teams. Many developers also love to make cross-platform database applications to meet the constantly changing user expectations. You can also use the graphical platform to design customized interface to suit the specific requirements of your client. At the same time, a developer also has option to use his interface design skills to make the application appear like a program that he uses on a regular basis.
