    Kintone wasn’t cookie cutter like the other options I consider. It was customizable and had great customer service to help me make it what I need.

    We tested Pipedrive with the free 30-day trial. We did not like the standard layout. It was not customizable to our liking, and it could not perform the functions we were looking for in our daily business workflow.

    We transferred our data records from Google Sheets to Kintone. While they aren't very comparable, the amount of tools and analysis that Kintone allowed us to do were far superior to Google Sheets.

    Again, I came along after the implementation of Kintone. Kintone does provide plenty of customization and personalization within the program without the ability to code HTML.

    Kintone is the easiest product to create from and the cost is the lowest I believe. In addition, reconfigurability and extendability are great. If you look for a low code tool, you can try Kintone. But as same as another low code tool, don't expect too much.

    It's more flexible and better looking than its competitors. But the main reason is that after extensive searches for a product that would support our requirements, Kintone was the only one that claimed to be able to do so. After building the project, it works as expected. We …

    Kintone is the best value for the dollar amount. It is also based on JavaScript (as far as the more in-depth customizations go) so you don’t have to learn a new language. Quickbase was extremely expensive for what it offered and FileMaker Pro required learning their custom …

    Kintone won out based on a few factors. MS Access can be a good alternative, but you can have trouble with sharing the data when needed. We like the mobile app that Kintone provides as well. Compared to Trello, the price of Kintone was better, considering the differences in …

    Microsoft Dynamics frequently updates to change layout, functionality, etc. Things then get hard to relearn where everything is and what functions have been added, lost, or replaced. It also didn't add much flexibility to customize.

    Caseworthy is a very large extensive database that is excellent. However, Kintone is affordable for our small non-profit (with only one employee). We would be swimming in the complexity of Caseworthy.

    Kintone is great if you want a software that will help you in managing your data, and keep track of which tasks are assigned to whom. It also helps to streamline communication and information in one central place. However, it is not for you if you are looking for something complex that has to manage a lot of data.

    Pros
    Kintone
    • Flexibility. You can build apps (without coding) to serve a wide range of processes and projects.
    • Ease of use. The interface is intuitive.
    • Training. There are resources readily available to train new users. Even starting from scratch, I felt like I was up to speed in just a few hours.

    Cons
    Kintone
    • I feel that Kintone is not well enough known yet. This means that other apps/APIs are not necessarily easy to connect with Kintone. Yes, you can use Zapier though for interfacing with other apps.
    • It would be great if it could give more customized options to change the look and format of certain things. You can make price quote apps, for example, but have to rely on 3rd party apps or programming skills to customize the look and fields.
    • If you make a table as an input field, it cannot connect to other internal Kintone apps for lookups and such.
    • I think there is more potential to make more customized data graphs.

    I still think that there's a room for Kintone's future, and high expectations for them in additional features and innovative tools and supports. Truly hope that they will support email features, and standardized supports for various plug-ins with the 3rd party software and apps. In the meantime, we will have to consider our ways of doing our work in all aspects

    Usability
    Kintone
    Kintone is agile app and most of the time we can easily come up with new apps. However, there should be more feature-based drag and drop and or a visual-based usability, as we all want to minimize the number of clicks and dropdown menu selections as much as possible. Thanks.

    I have had very specific questions about different aspects of the software, and I have always been able to get a hold of someone who could help. If my sales rep didn’t know the answer, he would get me in touch with someone who did know the answer. The whole team is very ready to help. It definitely feels like they view my success as their success, which is so important with this type of software.

    Everyone has their own tastes of things and way they want to work. Asking them to adapt to the changes with the new tools or apps is always difficult. We would want to start with a very small but best example within the organization, which in our case was that the employees will not be bothered by the bosses by being asked to find the documents, status of the progresses, or major things/requests/projects.

    Return on Investment
    Kintone
    • It has helped us reduce the amount of people we need to track our inventory. We’ve saved time and money using less people.
    • We are able to see our data much better now and have a spot that we can all look at the database on the go.
