What is FileMaker Pro RemoteApp and how do I get started?

FileMaker Pro RemoteApp runs FileMaker Pro directly in our data center, which you access via Remote Desktop (RDP). Instead of FileMaker Pro running on your computer and making database calls across the internet, everything happens on the server side — dramatically cutting latency.

Who it is for

  • Users who are geographically far from their server's data center and experiencing slow performance
  • Teams using older versions of FileMaker Pro that no longer run well on modern hardware or operating systems
  • Anyone whose performance problems are not solved by switching to a closer data center region

How it works

  1. You connect to your RemoteApp session using your Remote Desktop client or a browser-based RDP client
  2. FileMaker Pro opens in the session, looking and feeling like it is running locally
  3. Because FileMaker Pro and your database server are in the same data center, database operations are near-instant

Pricing

$14.95 per seat per month. Each seat supports one concurrent user at a time.
