About kintone

Typically, companies have to hire vendors to create business applications and then a whole other set of vendors to customize the solutions. With kintone, however, a new, customized business app can be up and running in no time.


Key benefits of kintone

  • Show graphs and create reports instantly from real-time data using smart, automatic graphing features. Embed your data into rich text or other services to enable real-time visualization.

  • Collaborate with your external partners and customers by creating individual guest workspaces. Guests will have access to the apps, graphs, business processes and communications that you want them to see and not the ones you don't.

  • Receive approval request notifications even on your mobile device. Define business processes with internal and external partners.

    My experience is very positive. The platform has given me the flexibility and ability to build and customize apps without any programming knowledge. I can tailor my workflows to my specific needs and streamline my processes for greater efficiency.

    Pros

    What I like the most is its ease of use and its ability to customize and adapt applications without having any programming knowledge. I can create and modify workflows according to my specific needs.

    Cons

    One of the things that I did not like very much was the limitation in terms of the ability to customize the design of the applications. Although I can customize the fields and workflows, I would like more customization options in terms of appearance and aesthetic design.

    I've built a lot of apps for the company I'm with including a Gas Mileage Tracker App where I wrote a script that connected to Google Maps App and gave us the distance in miles and how much that was in dollars. I enjoyed it for the simplicity and how easy it was to get started building an app. Also the fact that the scripts use Javascript instead of some made up language is also good since most developers have been introduced to either Javascript or Java by now.

    Pros

    I like how easy it is to use and learn and set everything up. One of the advantages I think it has over most of the products in the same line, is how easy it is to set up process management and to assign roles to everyone on the team. For newer companies without anyone that's tech suave, I would definitely recommend Kintone!

    Cons

    Compared to other Services like Zoho Creator, there really is not much room for customization in the apps and the fact that you have to use another service to generate forms to input into the database is also bad because if you are not a user with Kintone, then the data cannot be accessed.

    Reasons for Switching to kintone

    Company already had it when I came.

    Response from Cybozu

    Hi James,

    Thank you for your feedback! With our open API's, the customization possibilities are endless to transform your apps. I'd be happy to connect you with a Sales Engineer to review any requirements you have in more detail.

    There are a couple of options to display your data to those not inside Kintone. You can purchase a Guest Account which allows users to access a specific Space in which they were invited to and view the data from there. There is also an add-on called kViewer that allows you to display information inside Kintone with those outside of Kintone via a URL.

    Best,

    Low-code solution for project managment

    Reviewed on 09/10/2021

    Pros

    We are trying to go IT lite on a solution to help complex, distributed teams. We have been trailing Kintone as a solution that will allows many team leads create and manage projects and workflows. The low-code aspect of creation is the most compelling aspect we have found.

    Cons

    Pricing is a bit of a challenge to quickly understand after 5 users, you move into enterprise and you have to call to get an estimate even though they say you'll save money with their ROI tool. Could be more transparent.

    Response from Cybozu

    Hello Joel,

    Thank you for your review! We're happy to hear that Kintone has been easy to use across your organization.

    We also appreciate your feedback regarding the pricing. I have relayed this to our Sales team.

    Kintone: My Personal Review

    Reviewed on 27/02/2023

    Pros

    The best thing about Kintone, in my opinion, is its user-friendly interface and the ability to easily customize the platform to meet specific needs. The ability to quickly create custom forms and reports is also very useful. Furthermore, kintone's integration with other services such as Google Apps, Salesforce, and Dropbox makes it incredibly powerful and simple to use.

    Cons

    Kintone's user interface can be difficult to use and understand at times, in my opinion. It also didn't have a lot of customization options, making it difficult to tailor it to my specific needs.

    Response from Cybozu
