Improved server performance and great new features in FileMaker Go such as iBeacons support. FileMaker has vastly improved over the years, and I'm glad that the company is investing in supporting new technologies. Cross platform support, not just via Mac...

Price of multiple licenses. Hosting on a single computer so we have to connect via the same network. Ie. no connection from outside the campus internet.
