However, that also means that now you need to use 3 different interfaces in order to manage your FileMaker server. Most have been moved to either the admin API or Command Line Interface. While this is a very welcome change with a new and much more stable web console, it also had the consequence that features, we were used to have in the old web admin console of FileMaker Server 16 is now gone from the web admin console.

Because of FileMaker's ease-of-use and low barriers to implementation, it is often used by Schools and Centers for small-to-medium scale departmental databases.
These databases often include confidential or sensitive data. ISC strongly suggests that Schools and Centers that are still using FileMaker Pro 7.0.x or below make plans to transition to FileMaker Pro 13.0.x or above.
These newer versions have many improvements, including significantly improved security features.
