This is a great software application. I have cataloged my CD library and made up spread sheets for my finances. The spread sheets are much easier to create than than Excel spread sheets. This comes from somebody who is not good at code writing.
BEWARE !! this application has one serious drawback. It is a Filemaker product. I have used Filemaker Pro a great deal in the past for work and their tech support is horrible, the worst !
Recently I called up Filemaker tech support ... Read More
Rating: - For $49, great database...for $99 it could be AWESOME
I sell raw materials to industry for a living, and my (otherwise great) company doesn't provide any kind of contact management/sales tools for the sales force. One the hand hand, it's very frustrating not to have a "go-to" tool for my everyday tasks. On the other hand, they don't give me much opposition to devising my own tools that work the way I want them to.
I have done the "use Excel as a database" thing for a year now, as many professionals do, and it's awkward at best. Excel was never ... Read More

I wanted a database that was easy to use and Bento fit the bill. I have used Access (UGH) and Filemaker in the past and at times found them daunting. Bento was so simple to set up a club database it made me want to do more. It is surprisingly comprehensive for such an inexpensive database. Now it won't do it all but it does enough for most users.
Rating:  - At least it is a start
I really like the concept of Bento, a simpler personal database. However, the execution is lacking. Most frustrating is that it does not integrate completely with Address Book. For example, the Spouse field in AB does not get populated in Bento. Forget integrating custom fields. Another annoyance is the Themes are ugly and not customizable.
This product is ok (not great) if you want to store recipes or a To Do list. Otherwise, find another solution. Maybe Bento 2.0 will be better.
Rating:  - Limited
DO NOT plan on entering a database of substance. Bento has its limits and when you hit it, in my situation is was 1280 entries you are dead in the water. Bento is for light and very basic use. It is not for those that need more than entering a few household items. I am very disappointed with the software and their support.
