kintone Reviews

Great software which allows to quickly optimize analog processes. Fits small and large organization

Pros:

Very easy to develop forms and workflows. User driven. Allows to deploy apps fast and supports quick changes based on user needs.

Cons:

The mobile version needs improvement and is not as user-friendly as the desktop version. A better mobile version would greatly add to the overall value of the software.

Takes the Stress Out

Comments: I have accurate reports, solid information and feel confident in my presentations because of the ability to have reports at my fingertips.

Pros:

I love that Kintone allows me to retrieve our data in an easy to understand way. I can pull reports, manipulate them and present the data easily.

Cons:

I wish it were a bit more flexible in regards to searching for information.

It's A "OK" product

Pros:

It can assign someone with a certain task, and it's easy to create some easy apps.

Cons:

It cannot do certain things like anker link. It is very inconvenient that it cannot do something easy like this.

Great Value and Easy to Use

Comments: Great, customer support has been easy to use and the staff is very knowledgable about the product.

Pros:

Kintone is easy to customize without coding knowledge and offers almost all of the functionality of products that are 5x as expensive.

Cons:

Integrations with other programs need to be refined and the ability to reverse a step in the process management system would be really helpful.

Great product!

Comments: We have automated our quoting process, our freight shipping process, our purchasing process, and many other procedures with Kintone. If there's a problem, chances are, we can fix it with Kintone.

Pros:

I love the custom nature of the software and the ability to customize every app with JavaScript. Offbeat Press is a custom screen printing company so everything we do is custom and we need a software that can keep up with all of our custom needs. Kintone does that.

Cons:

If you don't have experience with JavaScript, it can become a little more expensive for various add-ons, but not much. And, at the end of the day, that's not a con against Kintone. It's a con against whoever is building the apps.

Kintone Platform Review

Comments: Great support.

Pros:

Love the use of plug-ins and modular programming. As a former Sr. Sys. Analyst in the utility industry, I was impressed with the ease of use of the Kintone product and the ability to come up to speed to develop a useful program.

Cons:

Did not find any negatives. Looking forward to the evolution of our software.

A great fit for our company

Comments: We researched and purchased Kintone to replace a paper process that had been taken advantage of. We needed a software that we could program several programs. We also needed these programs to have process management checks and balances and an audit trail. Kintone seemed to fit all of our needs. We've been very happy with the program and how easy it has been to use.

Pros:

It is very user friendly, very easy to setup new applications. Support is easy as well, quick responses. The process management piece is very simple to setup. There are lots of add-ins that are free or for purchase that make it even more useful.

Cons:

There are no cons at this time. It has done everything we've needed it to.

Enhance your team collaborations & save your time!

Comments: It's just so great! We used to ask constantly to other members where the documents were filed and trying to look back at our last quote, last project, last shipping documents, etc.

Pros:

Ease of use, coming up and making our own apps.

Cons:

It can't email documents from the app.

Perfectly suited to our needs.

Comments: Our firm has been more organized and our work product is more streamlined. Deadlines don't get missed and we love that the software keeps track of the changes made, as well as who made them.

Pros:

This program is easily customizable. Perfect for keeping our team on task and preventing them from missing critical dates and response deadlines.

Cons:

I can't think of anything I dislike about this software.

Kintone saved the day when I couldn't find any service that fit my business.

Comments: Overall, we love this program. It's currently used by 10 folks but will be used wider soon!

Pros:

Customer service! They respond within hours and are always free to meet with me when I have a new request on ways to customize the platform to fit my specific business' needs.

Cons:

When filtering by a piece of data that contains letters, you have to ensure all data that is entered is done exactly the same (even with capitalization) or you will miss data. It would be great for the program to pick up all data despite this. Ex. Addresses are entered by my team and might say "630 S San Pedro" while others say "630 san pedro".

Increased productivity and time to focus on value add/business growing activities

Comments: Our organisation was driven by spreadsheets and staff worked incredibly long hours and we imposed inefficient processes that were time consuming on our contractors. We have more than halved the amount of time required to undertake basic operational tasks and similarly reduced non-value adding effort on the side of our contractors. Our corporate knowledge is now supported by a strong and secure auditable system. The Kintone team have been exceptional in assisting us to realise our business vision with regard to systems.

Pros:

Kintone was flexible enough to be allow us to re-create our somewhat unique business requirements from data collection, to workflow, to linking with other systems such as Formstack, Docusign and Xero, to communicating with contractors and customers. We were able to eliminate as much mundane and time consuming activities as possible to ensure that the only interventions required by staff members is to "add some value".

Cons:

It is a little clunky around external organisations and users which we need to duplicate and link as organisations/contacts with departments/users

Kintone Provides an Intuituve Citizen Developer Tool that Novices Can Set Up in Minutes

Comments: Very impressed with how straight-forward the product is, how down-to-earth and helpful sales and support staff are. There were no surprises. No "temporary" pricing. What you see is what you get, and it has greatly improved our content management and work flow process. A bit plus is the ability to link apps so that matching fields can be automatically populated, avoiding wasteful double data entry.

Pros:

Kintone was so easy; logical interface with drag-and-drop functionality that makes creating your first app easy. Or you can upload a spreadsheet and decide how you want the data to display.

Cons:

Some of the functionality, such as setting up reminders, was complicated and required assistance from customer support. There is no way to "mass delete" notifications.

Kintone Makes Reports Easy

Comments: The data allows me to understand our target audience and see when the dynamics of our audience change over time. For example, we always assumed that 90 percent or more of our audience was low income. Now that we have more data entered into Kintone, I see that our audience is 80 percent low income. This reflects the shift in our local population, but it wasn't until we had more data in Kintone that I could see our assumption was wrong.

Pros:

It's a comprehensive database that helps me wrote reports to funders. It allows me to customize the data I collect and easily make changes as needed.

Cons:

I wish there was an app that I could easily use on my phone in the field without having to use the desktop version.

Kintone is like legos in the CRM world

Comments: Superb, we have been very thankful and I am positive it has more than paid for itself in time savings and reminders of previous conversations that led to upsells.

Pros:

You can build it just about any way you want to fit your needs.

Cons:

There are some limitations on what you can do based on what plug ins are available.

Best tool for increase your productivity

Comments: Kintone is very powerful software for companies that need to be more productive in less time. I have used Task Management feature of this tool and it's works effortlessly. I have setup multiple projects with this software and manage my tasks flawlessly.

Pros:

Task and Projects Management features are perfect for managing your workflow. I specially like one more feature that sends alerts notifications about your work progress. This software is very easy to use and generate more productivity in less time.

Cons:

I used this software for Task Management, for that I didn't find any disadvantage.

Great support, value and versatility

Comments: Kintone reduced our paperwork and provided a platform to share information across our organization. Very happy that we are on it now. Great value.

Pros:

Versatility and the great support we get. Our Kintone reps are so helpful and flexible and go beyond our expectations to make sure that we have solutions to our problems.

Cons:

Though our reps provided more than enough help for us to kickstart our learning curve, it may have been useful if there were standard templates for popular usages so that beginners do not need to start from scratch. Various templates may also give us ideas on how others are using Kintone.

Happy with Kintone!

Comments: Kintone allows us to be as detailed and specific in capturing information as we desire to be while remaining clean & simple to use. We feel confident that we will be a more successful organization because of Kintone.

Pros:

This software is completely customizable. It is easy to use & makes us feel empowered in the success of our organization.

Cons:

It takes some additional steps to get all of reporting done than the site we used previously. However, the detailed information we are capturing, the customization of that information, especially the transparency of knowing exactly how that information is being captured & translated, outweighs the additional time reporting takes.

kintone Review

Pros:

Kintone is user friendly and cloud based (accessible from any device). It is easy to share files and documents via Google Drive or Dropbox which can be easily integrated in kintone.

Cons:

As it is a cloud-based tool, it requires an access to the internet and with a poor access to the internet the work is really annoying. Otherwise I didn't find any disadvantages.

Makes managing data "manageable" for the non-IT employees

Pros:

Most functions are easy to use . Easy to create your own database from scratch or by migrating data from various files. Love the fact that I was able to add 1 user at a time - allowing me time to learn and pass on some knowledge to the next user . The ability to link multiple apps thru very useful functions ( lookup ) works perfect for me

Cons:

Online support ( help ) - very limited - when trying to find some guidance on how to set up your "newly invented " app , if you search the HELP or "google it" you will not get many answers or very well explained answers.

Versatile and Efficient business platform.

Pros:

This platform works with a variety of business models. Given that it doesn't require coding, the majority of its functions are simply and easy to use. The flexibility allows it to satisfy our currently requirements at acceptable level.

Cons:

As a techy person, this platform is too simple as it doesn't require coding. However, I would really like to see how it's been done on the background. Also, adding more features would be beneficial such as sorting of apps based on personal preference rather than when it was made.

The revolutionary tool that changed the way I manage my data and collaborate as a team.

Comments: I really like the drag and drop capabilities that allowed me to create and customize my own database applications without the need for prior programming knowledge.

Pros:

It's great, it allows me to centralize all my information in one place which made collaboration and project management much easier.

Cons:

There are some specific features or settings that I would like to be able to modify or adapt to further suit my needs and work processes.

kintone

Comments: Very good.

Pros:

Workflow process management, auto-notification, detailed level setting of permissions

Cons:

Project management feature is not strong enough.

Kintone helps make our teamwork more productive and gives us power to manage our business.

Pros:

Kintone makes any business better by allowing self-designed business processes. Everything is built & nested within our collaborative work-space leading to a lead in proficiency. It's also extremely easy to use to stay on top of key notifications throughout the day.

Cons:

Workspaces you join can sometimes be cumbersome if you're accustomed to another layout but it gets easy quickly. Sharing applications & stats can sometimes take a moment to upload but only when collaborating simultaneously.

Awesome for all businesses

Pros:

creating a platform thats is user friendly, and easy to create

Cons:

Plug-ins it was hard to determine what was the appropriate plug-in that i would need.

Easy to use

Comments: We used this software for case management services. All managers love this program due to its easy management program.

Pros:

Easy to learn and use this program -- Kintone is easy to use, modify and revise the functions to keep a project alive.

Cons:

For the last two years, we did not find any issue of using this program. All functions and programs were great for managing a project.
