Pros:

Kintone is an integral part of our daily operations, and its adaptability has made onboarding new team members seamless.

Cons:

While Kintone is tailored to our specific requirements, occasionally, we encounter additional steps due to its bespoke nature. These workarounds can be time-consuming. Nonetheless, the Kintone support team’s prompt and attentive responses to our inquiries have been invaluable.

Customization and Customer Service

I recently had the pleasure of setting up data collection systems in Kintone and I'm delighted to share my positive experience. Our consultant, Tim Edingfield has a remarkable level of expertise and an amazing capacity to understand the highly unique and customized needs of our nonprofit. His explanations are so clear and his calm demeanor and immense amounts of patience have been a gift. As a product, Kintone is being formatted and customized far beyond what I’ve seen in any of the training videos. Kintone is easy to use, even for users that are not tech minded. My experience with Kintone has been outstanding; our knowledgeable consultant, efficient service, and dedication to customer satisfaction have earned my highest recommendations. As a matter of fact, Kintone has set a benchmark for excellence in customer service that other companies would do well to emulate.

Love Kintone for Data Entry, Work flow and Project Management

I absolutely love Kintone! It has modernized our business & reduced data duplication. We now have a project management tool and can see tasks being done among the team in real time. It has highly reduced the amount of emails and outlook calendar reminders, since I can set automatic notifications and reminders. The team I work with at Kintone has been a tremendous help anytime I have questions about implementing new processes. The sky is the limit and I am excited to see things evolve!

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

It is easy to build apps that speak to one another, separating departments but not having to duplicate data

Cons:

Its hard to import when there are multiple tables or when there is a lookup field in an app. sometimes I can search a field from the drop down by typing out the word and sometimes that feature is unavailable. It would be nice to have more native plugins with better instructions

Reasons for choosing kintone

Kintone was easy to implement. I had a limited amount of time transitioning from our "old school" ways to something more modern and Kintone made the process seamless. They had support like no other and many training tools available.

I Highly Recommend Kintone

It has greatly helped us to organize our data in one location. It is also the place where people can get the most updated copy of information. We usually update catalogs, pictures, data sheets and so employees usually have several copies and different versions. It's great to know which one is the most updated copy to use, for example. Love how you can customize the data fields to your specific needs.

Pros:

I like how you can easily customize data fields and organize information in a completely custom way.

Cons:

When you create a table inside an app, it would be nice to be able to auto sort them and/or use filters. Please make more native Kintone plugins for further customization!

Reasons for choosing kintone

Better support especially at implementation. Having the ability to make a custom database was the most appealing factor.

Reasons for switching to kintone

Microsoft Dynamics CRM was not user friendly so most of our staff ended up barely using the CRM or not at all. Also, they would frequently update the system and layout for better functionality (supposedly). However, the layout, organizational design, and features could drastically changed. This made staff (especially less technology inclined staff) even more reluctant to use this CRM.

Hi Andrew, We appreciate your positive feedback. We are glad Kintone's customizability is helping your business.

Pros:

This software is most helpful in the way that everyone can stay connected while having clearly defined roles for each user. No one sees anything they are not supposed to see. As the administrator, I am able to see everything in one place which is tremendously valuable in how much time it saves.

Cons:

It does take a lot of time to set up the software. It is very much an investment that will pay off, but you need to be ready to spend some time getting it to where you want it to be.

Reasons for choosing kintone

The non-profit pricing for Kintone is an unbeatable value. I looked into 11 different software systems and nothing came close to what Kintone offers.

Expedited, Professional Project Management

Being familiar with relational databases, Kintone required some getting used to. Overall, it does what we need at a reasonable price without resorting to much more expensive enterprise-focused software. We were assigned an excellent project manager.

Build your own adventure; drag and drop database application

Pros:

Easy to use, and allows for a build your own adventure when it comes to database applications. It is a simple drag and drop application, making it easy to customize.

Cons:

It is not really practical when you have multiple tables that need to be loaded. There are also portions of the application that I wish were customizable for the user that are currently not, and if you ask for the customization there is usually an (understandable) charge.
