You may have already heard that Claris FileMaker was recently named the dominant leader among Workplace Innovation Platforms earlier this year. Even more recently, the Claris FileMaker Platform was also named a leader in The Forrester Wave™: Low-Code Platforms for Business Developers, Q2 2019 Report. Forrester, an independent research firm, compared Claris FileMaker to 12 different platforms and ranked them out of 30 criteria. To be included in the report, each of the platforms had to:

What is a Low-Code Platform?
The report focused on low-code platforms for business applications. According to Brad Freitag, the CEO of Claris, Inc., low-code capabilities fundamentally allow “creative problems at any level [to] drive digital automation. Many in our community had no background in development when they began using the Claris FileMaker Platform, but have gone on to become full-time developers. Low-code tooling is a critical component of our leading Workplace Innovation Platform, alongside more robust options for API integration and workflow orchestration that use both cloud-native and hybrid deployment offerings to meet the security and availability needs of all of our worldwide customers.” (Source)
