What do you like best about Kintone?

When I started working here, the company had been using an excel sheet to do their daily and weekly reports. Often, someone would accidently save over the master, delete or change formulas, or save their version in different locations. This made things very difficult. It didn't take me very long to convert this into Kintone and centralize all of our reports into one location. We now use Kintone for many of our tracking processes every day, and it makes keeping track of everything so easy. When I do quarterly reports, exporting the right data is a snap. What's more, any time that I have a question or need help finding a solution, customer support is there for me. They make it too easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

I honestly haven't found any downside yet! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Keeping everything safe and stored centrally. Don't have the chance for random employees accidently deleting formulas or data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kintone?

Kintone has been an excellent platform for our team’s transition. We appreciate the well-structured organization of the apps, the flexibility of customization within each one, and, most importantly, the outstanding customer service we’ve received throughout the setup process. The support team has made our onboarding experience seamless, reinforcing our confidence in the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

After using Kintone for a couple of months, we have yet to find anything we don’t love about it. If anything, our only regret is not discovering it sooner! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Kintone is transforming the way we manage our data by providing a centralized database—something we previously lacked. With several hundred faculty members and nearly a thousand courses taught in our program over the past 70 years, this platform is streamlining information, allowing us to easily connect faculty to the courses they've taught and track how multiple instructors have taught a course over time. Additionally, we’re using Kintone to organize program enrollment and monitor registrations on a week-by-week basis. The ability to compare trends from previous years and visualize data through graphs has been invaluable. This system has significantly simplified looking up past courses, assigning new course numbers, and overall program management for our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kintone?

We needed to move our forecasting and pricing system out of excel into a database format. I love that we have all the functionality of excel with all the permissions and flexibility of a database. We were able to implement a fully functioning system in a fraction of the time and still have all the flexibility that we loved from excel. The migration went very well, and setup was a breeze. I have told several industry friends that they should look into Kintone. We use it everyday with our entire team and we integrate it into our domo system for reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kintone?

Nothing, it has met our needs completely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use it to manage version control on our pricing system as well as input all of our forecasting into the Kintone system by account and by item. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

Hello Stephen,

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.
