Bento is an excellent product. The little brother to FileMaker Pro, this database program will fill most peoples needs and could replace several other programs. Just let your imagination go.
Catalog your music, movies, recipes, contacts etc. etc..
Short learning curve and easy to use. I expect to be using Bento in place of several other programs. It may take a little time to input all of your stuff. BUT, you'll be glad you did.

I will admit that my disappointment comes mostly from experience with FileMaker Pro. Having written several business databases with the Pro version this product just seems confining. I will give Bento2 four stars for being easy to use. I give it two stars for being a database generating application.
It works well with Address Book until you run into limitations in the way you may want to import and arrange information. It works well as a simple database creator until you run into limitations ... Read More

This is OK for the limited things it can do. But, support is non-existent. I posted a question about how to import addresses into their free Holiday pack used to track cards in their forums. It was removed within an hour with no explanation. I suspect that it can't be done, you have to manually re-input each address. I guess they didn't want folks to know that! But for tracking a DVD collection or such it works fine.

FileMaker recently released an updated version, Bento 2, which adds several improvements and makes the program even easier to use. In this review I will basically concentrate on the new ... Read More

I've been working with Bento for a couple of days now. I've used it for some databases for personal use. The integration with Address Book, iCal and Mail are just amazing, and turns out to be essential for my use. I was prepared to spend hours or even days to create these databases in some other database or spreadsheet, but was able to do so in just a few hours and get the exact functionality I wanted.
Granted, there are some limitations, but understand this product is a low cost, 'consumer' ... Read More
