(Original )Information
What do you like best about Kintone?

I like that it is a Zapier friendly and a user friendly database that I can tailor to the specific needs of an individual organization I serve. The fact that you can administer users for different access levels is great for working with groups and agencies outside of your organization. It is a great collaboration tool!

Kintone is incredibly flexible and useful. As a small / nonprofit business consultant, I always recommend Kintone for accomplishing specific tasks for the organization. Kintone allows me to create effective and efficient means of collecting and reporting data based on what the organization needs and not what some other software provider would say that they need.

Customer service is phenomenal. I have not had better service with any other type of software vendor than what I receive from Kintone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

Kintone does have chart features, but I wish they were more forward facing. As it is, I typically export the .csv data and then create my own chart. Having additional parameters would be a great enhancement, but may not be worth the additional development cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Kintone allows me to collect data from multiple agencies oiutsoide and partners to coallate data into reportable datasets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Joe Beeso of Kintone

Hello Jay,

Thank you for your awesome review! We're excited to hear that Kintone helps to access your data & manage multiple operations.

In addition, it's great that you've been able to connect other pieces and services through Zapier. Integrations are perfect for helping monitor third-party services right in Kintone.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Sincerely,

Joe Beeso

So far, I have not encountered any issues that have encumbered my work. Kintone continues to update their platform allowing for easier navigation. Communication with Kintone customer support has been attentive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kintone?

My company uses Kintone to store our vendor and individual site information. What I like is how easy it is to modify and use. It also syncs data with our ticketing software relatively painlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

The main upside to Kintone is also the main downside, I.E. It's cloud based. I wish there were a desktop version that still connected to the cloud database, but didn't require a browser. What I find myself doing, is using a separate, dedicated web browser to access Kintone, and a different browser for our ticketing system. This is to prevent accidently closing the wrong window when I'm working a lot of concurrent tickets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Kintone to organize vendor agreements and sites we support. The ease with which it allows us to add information, view pictures of installs, data on each site's vendor agreements, and cross reference site details is miles better than our last database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ruthvik Mugala (Vik) of Kintone

Hello Stephen,

Thank you for the feedback! We're happy to hear that Kintone is meeting your expectations.

I'll also relay your feedback for a desktop version to the appropriate team.

What do you like best about Kintone?

Ease of use and implementation, integrates easily into other systems that we use, flexibility to create databases that meet our evolving business needs, really good support team, and low cost! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

Some minor limitations but that may just be our internal capabilities of setting things up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have a multi step process that involves different departments and separate workflows that are managed in separate Kintone applications that link together and share information between them. It allows us to seamlessly work on order processing on 2 different levels at the same time to properly manage purchase orders and delivery of those items. We also have a customized set of documents that we need signed by our customers and all of that is automatically generated and sent out at the push of a button in Kintone because of integrations with other service providers. And all of this can be managed and run by the individual person assigned to each part of the process, which keeps everyone on track and aware of the work that is in their queue.

What do you like best about Kintone?

Kintone allows for a custom built database that allows us to replace expensive ERP systems that don't work all that well for our specific use case anyways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

Building reports or dashboards can be difficult, would be nice to have added features for this, but it is a database afterall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Kinton manages our fleet information, workflow progress, and reporting. We're able to gate access at certain points, easily add all applicable information, contracts, mso's, and then do data dumps for Quickbooks imports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ruthvik Mugala (Vik) of Kintone

Hello Alex,

Thank you for the positive feedback! We're happy to hear that Kintone is meeting your expectations.

What do you like best about Kintone?

Customization. This is almost fun to be able to produce my own project trackers. I was able to set up my first project tracker and contact file on the first day and have used this multiple times a day for several years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

I am a small business owner (24 years) but I work alone--always have and always will--but I have to pay for "up to 5 users". It seems a little pricey for 1 person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have purchased several data base platforms but they were too complicated and didn't fit exactly with what I do. When I found Kintone, it was a Godsend. I was able to start using it right away. It fits what I do perfectly!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kintone?

Kintone's response rate and training tools have been the best thing about adopting this service. Our Customer Support Rep. had several Zoom trainings with our staff, imported all our records, saving integration time, and making it easy to start recording sessions. They respond to email questions with thorough answers and sometimes video content so we can learn how to modify reports. There are several features needed to track various grants, and we have it all in one CRM. The quarterly reports templates make it easy to use during reporting quarters and year end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

The export feature doesn't lock in the filters and you have to establish the filter each time you go to export/download a report. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our department operates due to grant funding from 6 sources. They each have deliverables and reports requested each quarter, and tracking client demographics, inquiries, sessions, and outcomes takes a lot of time. We started looking for a CRM after the second year of Excel tracking and a lot of staff time spent during reporting periods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ruthvik Mugala (Vik) of Kintone

We're thrilled to hear that Kintone's response rate, training tools, and customer support have been beneficial for your organization. We have noted your feedback about the export feature and will review it with our team.

What do you like best about Kintone?

The staff with Kintone have been extremely patient and helpful setting up my account and have supported every one of my requests for additions to the platform I use. I'm fully integrating the project management tools, scheduling and communication with my staff on a daily basis. My favorite features are the ability to stay in contact with my staff in one space where we can reference passwords, documents, customer/client contact information and so much more with ease. Highly recommend! Every day I think of more items I wish to add to the platform, it's making my job so much better! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

To best utilize Kintone, having a clear vision is critical. You can develop anything but if you don't know what you need, Kintone can help you to a certain point and then you need to reassess what you're looking for from the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Kintone is solving my project management system which is currently all over the place. We've tried using Notion and Trello but none of the other tools available match the unique features and full integration that Kintone can provide. I'm able to build a database of referral partners and clients my staff can reach out to for any purpose making my job easier as the owner of a small company. I need freedom and flexibility to work on revenue generating activities, not stuck in the weeds. Kintone is my solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ruthvik Mugala (Vik) of Kintone

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that Kintone is meeting your project management needs and helping you stay in contact with your staff while easily accessing important information. We appreciate your insight about having a clear vision for best utilizing Kintone, and we're always here to support you in maximizing the platform's capabilities.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Kintone?

Kintone is versatile for non-profits and you can build apps that help keep track of many different services. You can customize the apps as you want. It is fairly easy to use once you get the hang of it. I've learned how to create apps from scratch by watching their videos and can now create apps, graphs and run the administration part of it, without having any IT background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

It is not always user friendly for people who are not tech oriented, which most everyone in my office is not. It also does not allow searching of names by just a few letters but has to have the name exactly as it is entered into the system in order to find them. Figuring out the reporting and how to run reports to get the exact information you are looking for can be challenging too. But once you figure it out, it is pretty limitless on what you can do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kintone:

It is a flexible program that is great for tracking information for non-profit entities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

They are supposedly working on an update to fix some of the issues, like the name search (been in the works for several years now). We use it to keep track of a lot of different services for clients and among several different locations and it is flexible for the most part. It allows you to create apps that you need and to keep track of different things for statistical purposes. It is really limitless in that regard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Marie Beaufait of Kintone

Hello Melanie,

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear that you enjoy Kintone’s flexibility! We encourage feedback and product requests and I’d be happy to relay yours to the team. We also have a function called “Bulk Update” where you can update multiple records in an app at one time instead of doing a manual update of one record at a time.

Please let us know if there’s anything else we can help with! Our team is always glad to help you if you need any further support.

Best,

Marie
