  • Abstract:  This free holiday pack presents a great opportunity to try out Bento 2 while setting up two great systems, one for monitoring holiday cards, and the other for monitoring gift giving and donations. The learning curve is about an hour. Product: Bento 2 H...

  • 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...

  • Inexpensive, easy-to-use database program that takes great advantage of Mac OS X technologies; dynamic access to Address Book, iCal and Mail data, and easy import and export of spreadsheet data; on-the-fly customization of forms; saved searches library (d...
  • Somewhat limited design options for printed reports; can’t password protect libraries; no network sharing with users on other computers.
  • The best thing about the first version of Bento was its price. At $49, it was one-sixth the price of FileMaker Pro. Bento 2 remains $49, just as FileMaker Pro still costs $299, so the price comparison is still relevant. But for a large class of users,...
