"Kintone: Soluzione semplice e veloce"
What do you like best about Kintone?

Design intuitivo dell'interfaccia con molte situazioni d'uso accessibili. Approccio straordinario per avere un risultato positivo senza scommettere la banca. Grande utilità senza contribuire a immense risorse umane. Sono disponibili sia il programma che l'applicazione. Fase cloud scettica del cliente. Utilità di spedizione rapida. Funziona con avanzamento iterativo. Una piccola fase di associazione decente con risorse interamente espandibili a costi ragionevoli. Adatto per grandi aziende, dipartimenti o piccole / medie imprese.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

È importante sapere che Kintone impiega un bel po 'di tempo sul front-end per l'installazione. È fantastico che sia così facilmente personalizzabile, tuttavia, ciò significa che ci vorrà del tempo per ottenere tutto finalizzato dove vuoi che sia per il lancio.

What problems is Kintone solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ancora una volta, siamo ancora nella fase di implementazione, ma posso dirti che Kintone sarà di grande aiuto nel consolidamento dei nostri fogli di calcolo multipli che manteniamo oltre a Quickbase perché ci vuole troppo tempo per creare. Questo ci permetterà di avere tutto in un unico posto, incluso il monitoraggio delle sovvenzioni e la partecipazione.

"Flexible Product"
What do you like best about Kintone?

Kintone allowed for a lot of customization to tailor it to our needs.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

A lot of investment on the front-end to get it up and running. Initially, it wasn't the most user-friendly.

What problems is Kintone solving and how is that benefiting you?

We only used Kintone briefly. Our needs changed but I would have liked to see it fully implemented.

"Easy to administrate, easy to use!"
What do you like best about Kintone?

Kintone is a streamlined database that's easy to customize and build out with no coding required. The fields nested inside records nested inside apps hierarchy is very logical and a big step up from many of the other online databases that are more or less a beefed up Google Sheets. The graphs look pretty without much effort as well. And the mobile app comes in really handy!

What do you dislike about Kintone?

While Kintone makes for a solid database, it's not very functional as a relational database: I was able to get virtually zero interaction between records on separate apps, and though I appreciate the very kind Kintone support (thanks Tim!), the workaround provided was clunky and cluttered. I look forward to Kintone growing in this direction.

What problems is Kintone solving and how is that benefiting you?

For our church, Kintone allows us to track and graph our weekly attendance, serve team members, social media growth, and even our parking lot capacity. The calculator field built into Kintone allows us to tally up numbers and show percentage of capacity, which is pretty neat. And entering the data into Kintone is worlds easier and safer from error than storing everything in a spreadsheet as we had been doing.

Nothing yet, but we are just getting started

"Easy to use, very versatile, no-code tool to replace lots of excel spreadsheets!"
What do you like best about Kintone?

The best part of Kintone is its versatility. With basic Microsoft Excel skills, I was able to create processes and simple apps that were able to streamline processes and save time for tasks / groups of tasks that were routine for our small (15 person) organization. Some of the tasks were a bit customized, and Kintone was a better solution than looking for a full-on software solution.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

In some ways, I wish I knew about Kintone's versatility from the beginning. I was introduced to it as an "HR Management" tool (simply since we used it for HR management purposes). However, after utilizing it more, I realized it could be utilized to make almost any kind of simple application we needed for processes in the company, including sales, marketing, finance, etc.

What problems is Kintone solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kintone has been a great solution for simple, customized apps for specific purposes within a relatively small organization, where it doesn't yet make sense to invest in full-on software solutions. It hits a sweet spot between managing tons of custom excel sheets for different purposes / processes, and having a full software solution that isn't quite necessary yet.

"Great help to manage our jobs."
What do you like best about Kintone?

We are able to manage our jobs much easier with Kintone. All the information with backup documents are uploaded and shared throughout company. It helps us understand the status of each job and whom the task is currently assigned to. Easy to use.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

We had some problem using Kintone first we started using, but it's good now.

What problems is Kintone solving and how is that benefiting you?

All information for each job are now gathered in one place " Kintone", so we can later go back for the information or print out the documents and present it to customer. It saved us a lot of time.

"Flexibility and Depth"
What do you like best about Kintone?

Kintone let's each company create a unique portal with the items they need. Not a cookie cutter.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

Nothing really. I find this app highly useful and customize-able so that I get what I need out of it.

What problems is Kintone solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's creating a space out vendors can use to interact and connect with us much easier. And the data we can get from it is tremendous.

"Kintone Review: Simple and Flexible Database for Teams"
What do you like best about Kintone?

Kintone, was the lightweight cloud database our team needed for one of our short term projects. It allowed us the ability to add up to 50 users at a very reasonable price.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

The platform is still lacking a few key features that I would need in some of my other projects, mainly relationships to multiple tables of data.

What problems is Kintone solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had ambassadors in the field going door to door and needed an easy way to update customer information on their phones. Having an app for Apple and Android products was very helpful!

"Best of Both Worlds"
What do you like best about Kintone?

Kintone's user interface was, without a doubt, the most intuitive and easiest to use out of all the platforms we reviewed. Additionally, the ability to easily customize Apps was appealing.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

As a very new user, I haven't found anything I don't like — yet.

What problems is Kintone solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're using Kintone to store our data in a way that is easily accessible for many users, with the ability of filtering data and creating reports.

"Kintone is an excellent tool, but still needs some improvements"
What do you like best about Kintone?

Kintone allows me to build a database from scratch to incorporate everything the organization needs to track. It allows me to have multiple users and track what team members are adding to the database. Feedback from the team has been that it is an easy platform to navigate, once you understand the basic layout.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

I would like better reporting capability. I need reports to pull from multiple applications. Right now this is something I will have to do manually in exports. It seems like it is something they are working on, as improvements have already been made.

What problems is Kintone solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are tracking the work different departments in the organization do to engage with community partners across the state. We are also building the database out to capture multiple layers of our work in community.

"Covers the basics at an incredible cost for a non-profit"
What do you like best about Kintone?

The core functionality was the same as other competitors, except the pricing for non-profits wasn't beatable. It is relatively simple to use for someone who has only used a competitor's product (QuickBase) and doesn't have any real coding or back end knowledge.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

Not a huge fan of the GUI and haven't been able to find a way to really alter that. Particularly when it comes to the forms, I wish there was a way to create more contrast and make things able to be viewed more easily.

What problems is Kintone solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm tracking several processes for a project that I manage. I'm also using this database to track other projects as well which have previously only been tracked in an annoying Excel sheet. Those were a hassle to use and even worse for collaboration when people from multiple organizations need to be aware of what is going on.

It was confusing for me personally with the things I had going on and what I needed at the time.

They are working to make the app better for what is needed.

"Getting good customer service is like flipping a coin; you may get heads, or you may get an ass."
What do you like best about Kintone?

The versatility and ease of use; as a tech unsavvy entrepreneur, this platform has been heaven-sent.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

That there isn't a helpline available to users. I can get a hold of my rep most of the time and he is very good, but I usually have to book in advance... Except that on the rare occasion I call, is because I need immediate assistance. I am not happy with some of the despots that Kintone has on staff who think that they can treat customers like crap, because they had a promotion.

What problems is Kintone solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to use the platform for Information management, timesheets and invoice tracking, service provision, etc. It is the most cost-effective and centralized way of running my company.

"Support is amazing. Wish there was a little more functionality in customizing the reports."
What do you like best about Kintone?

The customer service is great. The fact that it's online and it's a great price for non-profits. Great to have a full dashboard to share with colleagues.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

I really wish I could customize things like the x and y axes for reports, change the sizing of the table cells, and basically reformat so it's easier to understand. Some additional functions with tables to create more targeted reports. There are some limitations around the tables and pivot tables that makes it hard to have easily comprehensible final reports. Again, would love to rename some cells so things are clearer. This was a big learning curve, but it is a useful tool.

What problems is Kintone solving and how is that benefiting you?

The need to share information with coworkers, and do grant reporting. I'm still setting it up, so I don't have a full picture of it's utility for coworkers. Again, still concerned that coworkers will have trouble absorbing the data because of issues around customizing the visual component. Also, wish for a bit more functionality with reporting.

"Easy Cloud Apps for teams"
What do you like best about Kintone?

Easy to set up, easy to make new apps quickly, auto notifications were great. Minimal programming or coding required. comments on each record was very helpful to keep track of progress. The history icon that tracks changes to the records was extremely useful in digging deeper into 'what went wrong'. There was some coding required to change colors on columns etc. but the support team was good to share some basic code that I could update and tweak to use for other minor changes. We had teams on different islands using the platform and were able to manage the workflow and permissions all from our central location on Oahu

What do you dislike about Kintone?

calendar view was limited, the team was used to working with Outlook, but the calendar view could not compete with drag and drop, extending tasks to multiple days or color coding to manage types of tasks, so we ended up never giving up outlook calendar. Notification email could be better if it showed the sender's name instead of 'Do Not Reply', The idea of spaces for groups did not really work for us as it was unclear how to really use that feature.

What problems is Kintone solving and how is that benefiting you?

The company had been managing a high volume solar pv construction projects with sales and operations team using excel spreadsheets and emails. There were construction/project management software platforms available but were more designed for one or few projects. We chose Kintone because it looked like we could import our entire excel spreadsheet and start a whole new cloud based method right away . The sales would upload new projects, internal managers would approve them and Operations team would take them through to next stages all the way to construction and post construction. This for 40 projects a month.

"Simple and Sweet"
What do you like best about Kintone?

Love the form set up. Unlike Filemaker and others, the form is much more user friendly to set up. Love the fact that I can upload and save images from my phone directly to the mobile app. That is HUGE in my line of business where we are on the go a lot and don't have the means to scan documents easily. Price is good too compared to others.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

I hate the first page. It is very confusing. I just want to go straight to the form view and not deal with all the "apps", messages, etc. Also, it was very confusing at first to upload data and create an app. I had to create one like 5 times in order it to appear. There might be a glitch. Last, the editing page is confusing. I couldn't figure out how to save things. But managed. I know this all might be vague to you, but I could walk someone through my issues and point out problem errors if you want to call. Karen 859-338-2754

What problems is Kintone solving and how is that benefiting you?

We provide contract foreign workers through the H-2A and H-2B nonimmigrant visa program. We have to manage a database of several hundreds of workers that includes past visas, passports, letters of recommendation, personal documentation, etc. We do not have an office and many times we have to use an iPad to take information. So being able to take pictures of documents and upload them to the database immediately is AWESOME, especially when we are recruiting from town to town or traveling to different consulates to process our workers.

"Some aspects have been great, some parts problematic."
What do you like best about Kintone?

Very user friendly. Easy to log in and navigate.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

We had hoped to tailor more specifically to our needs.It does seem like what was intially discussed did not pan out as much once we were deeper in.

What problems is Kintone solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is helping with our attendance and billing.
