Kintone Reviews: 4.6/5 — Highly Rated

It has a variety of apps that you can choose from to customize your desired solution.

There are soo many apps it can be overwhelming.

We are calculating hours for recertification in addition to tracking classes for certification.

It is very customizable to your needs, and the customer service is amazing.

Reporting could be better - building graphs etc

Creating databases, linking information together

The support provided and the patience of the team. The database is easy to customize and export and import necessary information.

Sometimes I don't always remember where to find things that we created. I also forget how to do something if I don't do it often.

We are verifying members for grants and programs. Instead of searching their names or emails in multiple spread sheets, we can search in Kintone once.

Compared to the majority of the others where you have to code, this is a piece of cake. The alerts by email are amazing. It keeps me on track of renewals, etc.

One thing would be when you place a word document in a file, whenever you click on it, it downloads to your computer rather than just a preview, like if you have it as a pdf. Not a huge deal at all, but just something I noticed in Kintone.

Keeping track of important, time-sensitive things while making sure they get completed by the time deadline. Being able to have all the necessary information that I need in one file for a client at quick access. Not having to be able to code

Prior to Kintone, we used multiple systems and spreadsheets to complete monthly reports. We were unable to provide timely caseload reports to team members and duplicated efforts. With Kintone, team members are able to clearly see their caseloads and assignments each day. They are able to complete services in the system and request assistance when needed. The Kintone representative was by far very knowledgeable and patient when customizing the system to help meet our needs. The customer service he provided is hands down, the best I've received during a system's implementation.

Overall, I don't have any complaints. I recognize that systems have limitations and users must be flexible. If I had my way, I would like to see a more fluid flow from one area to another. However, our processes are quite complicated, therefore I understand how the system was designed to meet our immediate needs.

As mentioned, with Kintone, each team member now has a caseload that they and others can see. This helps with accountability and timely follow-through. We are also able to reconcile monthly reporting in a much more effective and efficient way.

You can customize Kintoneto to fit your business's needs.

The apps can be overwhelming initially, but once you understand how they all share information with each other, the platform becomes easier to use.

Kintone has helped us bring multiple systems together and save all information in one place for our projects. Keeping all project information in Kintone prevents human error from dual entry and saves our project managers time.

The ability to report on data in many different and flexible ways.

I wish it had the ability to insert Excel like formulas in fields to generate results for that attribute.

Excel files that were to big and clumsy to work with.

I love the versatility. The low code solution is great for building a standard native solution, however as a web developer the opportunities are endless as to the customization. This is a cost effective platform that really can help small to midsize businesses take them from expensive hardware, servers and upkeep, or expensive cloud solutions that fall outside their budgets. From CRMs to custom database and data storage solutions. We have created app packs for such a broad range of clients which I really am excited about. Small businesses who have not had the opportunity or have not been exposed to the cloud technology “revolution” that we are experiencing currently, we know have the opportunity to offer them a tremendous amount of development resources in a fraction of the time.

The absolute to create more dynamic dashboards for different departments. The portal customization tool is great, however could use more robust features and native functionality. As different departments in a business have different types of responsibilities, and need to see different datasets quickly. For example, if the sales managers wanted to see their sales reps, sales, leads, funnels it would be great to be able to access reports and data based on the login all from a centralized dashboard.

I have tapped into many different market demographics that previously were hard to market to. Creating customizations that have created custom mathematical solutions for stock market applications, to large scale data mining and storage solutions for financial market research and publication. I was able to create customized database solutions, automating and pulling previous years data for side by side analysis. Running custom complex calculations for clients, and showing those results in tables. I have been able to run third party api’s and pull requested data in to that application for analysis and calculation points. Kintone has tremendous power and ability to create a unique applications based on business needs. I have been really impressed at how every question I have thrown at Kintone and their engineers, how quickly that have responded and help me develop the solutions I need.

The ability to completely tailor the database to our needs. We have very specific information that we are tracking, and Kintone makes that very accessible.

There's always a possibility of outgrowing the database, but at this point it meets our needs perfectly.

What we were lacking as an organization as far as tracking data has been resolved. We are able to access what we need in a logical and organized fashion. Our consultant is very knowledgeable and friendly, is very easy to work with, and understands our needs as presented.

Online and shareable and the ease in creating views and charts

Would like to have more flexibility in attributes for features and functionality. Being able to have formulas in an attribute would be awesome and bring the best of Excel to Kintone.

Being able to have multiple people share what used to be in Excel files on my laptop has been huge.

Very intuitive structure and setup leading to the ability to iterate quickly

Not enough standard reporting power built-into the tool like building more complex native data models

Data was previously being managed on separate, unconnected spreadsheets leading to differences and duplicate effort. Kintone has also helped establish a more clear process.

No coding, easy to use, web-based, run in any platform and a lot of available on-line training videos.

More built-in report options needed as wee as option for user to customize more reports for their specific use.

We are trying to use Kintone to compile feedback from clients to a database and well as workflow improvement. Kintone is so easy to use when building up database entry and generating template that you can incorporate workflows.

Simple interface layouts with plenty of available use scenarios. Great way to make a postive impact without betting the bank. Good functionality without investing huge human resources. Both browser and app accessible. Client agnostic cloud platform. Quick launch functionality. Works with iterative development. A good small organization platform with very expandable resources at reasonable price. Appropriate for enterprise, departmental or small/medium business use.

Attachment handling could be better. PDF display required some extra coding. Basic and boxy interface - but not really a problem unless you are more interested in identity aesthetics than functionality.

Standard workflow issues like sales process (inquiry, quote, order, purchase, logistics, invoice inputs, payment tracking.) Also, vacation request, expense reporting and reimbursement, purchase request and requisitioning. Vendor, customer and contact databases. Better long-term project progress reporting. Less time-consuming than sorting and searching emails for information. Some secure, limited collaborations and access by individuals outside of our company.

Kintone's management, tech support ate great. we switched our data base from Microsoft Access to Kintone. Our customized access data base was quite complecated but the Kintone team converted to their program. The transition was very smooth and after care is great.

we gave up some cross reference porgram but it might be able to built the customized program by Kintone if we paid additional fee.

It was difficult to update Microsoft Access due to luck of programmer. We do not worry about it anymore with Kintone. Crowd style is plus too- we do not worry about back up.

Kintone has changed my entire approach to my work day. As someone with only basic experience with databases, I was spending a lot of time just teaching myself how to use Access. While Access is a great program with a lot of capabilities, our needs were rather specific. When I started to focus on learning how to meet those needs in kintone, I felt that I was making much more significant progress. It is easy to use and easy to learn. I can have applications up and running in minutes, as opposed to the hours or days it would require before.

Kintone is missing a few basic features that I would expect to see in any data management software. Foremost among these is what Access calls a "combo box": a drop-down list of options that also allows a user to type in data that isn't on the list.

We are using kintone to host our client information database, track client visits and services, track volunteer hours, and track inventory of physical resources. The primary benefit is the speed with which we can set up the apps needed to track these things, and the ease of use for our average users.

The ability to customize the layout of the forms is something I couldn't find in this price range.

I wish you could customize forms more (colors, fonts, etc.). Also, I wish there were I could create automatic exports from filters.

We needed a small database to share among only a few employees so that we could get away from spreadsheets and paper. It solved our problems and we were able to get our Kintone database designed in a few days of playing with it.

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

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

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.

Highly customizable platform where you can adapt the different tools and features to whatever your business needs might be. We are using it as a database to store information and perform basic cross-record matching and calculations. Easy to use and intuitive.

Nothing so far. Only point for improvement would be a self-serve tool to create a calculator for scoring records, at the moment it's relatively manual.

Database of product information. Previously using Google Sheets which was becoming very complicated and unwieldy. Very satisfied with Kintone's product.

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.

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.

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.

Easy to create forms and look ups. Instead of using a vendor to build an application, we can create applications for our clients and better support them.

A few simple options are missing or can be only be done with Java script. The reason to use this product is not to have others involved. Example: If have a look up table, you cannot type start typing in values and get a drop down showing which records match Also: Say you have a yes or no question and you pick yes | the option to the form to display different questions. The platform is great just some minor additions I see that are missing. We are though building applications for our clients on it.

For our clients : Converting multiple excel or access intake systems to one on Kintone. We are able to secure data up to the row or column which is very nice. We are also creating custom Asset systems per client. Instead of using a 3rd party vendor and having them change it for our customers, we can now build it for them and support them direct. We are also migrating old print outs for orders to Ipad based ordering systems for retail.

personalization of fields and reports. Ability to streamline all data in one location in various aways.

Some of the fields are difficult to link to other fields

Management of various data and eliminating of duplicate data entry.

The configurability and user management for Kintone has been great. The ability for us to build our own Apps within the system is quite nice.

Kintone has been great. There isn't much I dislike from it. We did have some nuances in trying to get email reminders to send correctly.

Kintone provided us the ability to track validation deliverables and associated findings.

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

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.

A highly customizable Business management solution

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Having limitless options with Kintone is really nice. It allows you to custom tailor the experience to what you need. It makes your data usable!

The only downside is that for the average person it's a bit complicated. You'll need to rely more on your customer service rep to help make major changes.

It helps me keep my data organized and easy to use. There are many was to graph your data to make it easy to read

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.

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.

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.

The customer support has been good and fairly quick to respond.

Sometimes difficult to create and modify apps. Need to rely on customer support a lot.

We've been able to build a custom database for trust administration.

Sharing information in one place is very convenient when working with teams. I like it is compatible with URL addresses, attachment files and more. I expect more space for picture or movies near future.

Maybe we can program the column by ourselves. But, If I can associate some columns, it will be greatly appreciated so that we can reduce the time to type in the information.

We don't have to access many file servers to find the docs or other information. I believe we could greatly reduce the time to find the files in daily work. Thank you.
