Abstract: But my needs are usually much smaller than FileMaker, so when FileMaker, a subsidiary of Apple, introduced Bento, I watched from the sidelines through version 1. When FileMaker recently revved Bento to v. 2, I jumped in and got a review copy. First...
Abstract: Bento 2 is the latest update to the Bento database application from FileMaker. Bento 2 retains the same ease of use as the original, which we rated highly. It also offers new features that raise the bar on ease of use. Bento 2 may well be the easiest w...
Clear, pleasing interface. Includes templates for common uses. Easy form design. Imports and exports Excel and Numbers files.

Bento ist schneller erwachsen geworden als erwartet. Es ist keine Datenbank für das Arbeiten im Netzwerk oder Team. Bento entwickelt seine Stärke auf dem Computer des einzelnen Anwenders. Wer nur möglichst unkompliziert mit den unterschiedl...
Abstract: När jag testade första versionen av Bento hade jag svårt att se nyttan med programmet. När Bento 2 släpptes bad jag snabbt om ett testexemplar och fick också det. Huruvida jag får ett exemplar av en eventuellt tredje version återstår att se. För viss...
Abstract: “Lika lättanvänt som iTunes!” upprepar Filemakers representant gång på gång under presentationen av nya Bento 2. Så är naturligtvis inte fallet – iTunes må ha varit målbilden för Filemaker under utvecklingen av den nya versionen, men Bento är ändå ett...
