Claris Pro should have the token and decide the login locally for the file. Even if you open a local Claris file, you have to be logged in, even if you just logged in and turned off the Wifi. Normally I would expect that Claris Pro can reauthenticate itself in the background automatically with the stored password and the old token. The permanent login requirement is annoying. Of course Claris would also need to put their own Claris Studio software on various servers around the globe and connect you to a nearby one. MongoDB would allow to place multiple servers around the globe, which synchronize themselves. Everything talking to a server is quite slow and I would expect Claris has to start with the international rollout of their servers before they start to really sell this to Europeans. While FileMaker Pro and Claris Pro are built from the same source code with a lot of build time switches, they are very similar (99% same), but have some differences in the user interface.Īs an European, you quickly notice the latency to the data center in USA. Claris Pro Observations We had the chance to try Claris Pro for a few days.
