"Kintone is making our database ideas managable with truely customizable options."
What do you like best about Kintone?

I have found Kintone to be easy to navigate and easily changed to fit the needs we have.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

The software while easy to navigate requires a bit of knowledge about what each feature is called.

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

We are using Kintone to help us recruit students and create an alumni database. We realized we can use it for other ideas we have such as project management, events and even a student portal.

"Intuitively amazing"
What do you like best about Kintone?

The learning curve is great. Its easy to pickup on how the platform is built. You can easily customize kintone to fit our business needs.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

Limited front-end customizations, and the app offers limited views to your data. You can only pick one column as a look up on the app, making ti difficult to display a compound key easily.

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

We are using Kintone to make our event schedule more collaborative and centrally accessible. We use a Space to represent an Event, and an App to represent a Schedule. Each row represents an activity on the schedule. While the platform is not built to out of the box handle this functionality, it adapts very well.

"Highly customizable solution with great customer service"
What do you like best about Kintone?

Flexibility and customer service are great and just what I needed.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

It takes some time to set up and requires a lot of your own input to get started. But this was expected. There are some features like document creation to print and email that could be more robust.

"Business improvement platform with the largest market share in Japan"
What do you like best about Kintone?

In-house applications that require engineer person-hours can be implemented without using engineer man-hours. It is possible to make applications for all operations, including sales contract status, person-hour management for each department, and store inventory system.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

This can be said for low-code services in general, but it is easy to make it challenging to use if the application is modified as the business expands. Hence, the knowledge and experience of an IT engineer are necessary for anticipating application development.

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

It is possible to create an application and a database for all operations that used to be complicated to manage in the back office, such as personnel approval flow, labor business processes, and equipment management managed by information systems. Over 20% of the monthly person-hours have been reduced, significantly improving work efficiency.

"Kintone Review"
What do you like best about Kintone?

It is a beneficial fast tool for small growing businesses, but it has some limitations, none the less in the meantime, it does the job and even more for me and my office. Also, special thanks to the support team for being active and very helpful.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

It can be a bit hard for new users to start with as it can be represented as the equivalent of a new programming language for people who are inexperienced with such software or websites.

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

The training sessions and quick online training tools were very helpful in getting familiar with the website and its functions; they helped me be more efficient.

"Customizable and Easy To Use"
What do you like best about Kintone?

There was plenty of tools I could use to accomplish what I needed to get done. It was very easy to learn everything/self explanatory.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

There were some limitations with some of the tools and sometimes they weren't super straightforward. Its also sometimes a bit slow to update records.

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

We needed a CRM platform to store all of our data. It allows us to analyze our data and view it in a clear and concise way.

"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.

"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.

"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 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.
