Considered Both Products	BIC Platform No answer on this topic	Kintone Verified User Anonymous Chose Kintone Kintone is more customizable, which allowed our small organization to create exactly what we needed. The other platforms we evaluated were really designed for larger organizations with more need for customer facing tools. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Kintone We've used many, many applications that all do one thing, but none have the versatility of Kintone. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Kintone I don't know if this is the right Salesforce platform we used, but it was way too clunky and not built for the metrics we actually wanted to collect. Kintone doesn't have all the bells and whistles of Salesforce, but I don't really need them. For our small organization's needs, … Incentivized Helpful? Nate Powers Deputy Director Chose Kintone We used to use Facilicase and Kintone is miles above in reliability and customization. Incentivized Helpful? Lori Scarmardo Program Administrator - Public Power Pool (P3) Chose Kintone Kintone is more customisable. Platforms like Zendesk and Monday were much more than we needed, yet also lacked things we wanted. Access, which we used for years, was customisable, but also required us to maintain servers on site and tended to be slow. Kintone was the perfect … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Kintone Affordability and simplicity. Incentivized Helpful? CH Caleb Horrocks Project Manager/Estimator Chose Kintone Kintone wasn’t cookie cutter like the other options I consider. It was customizable and had great customer service to help me make it what I need. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Kintone We tested Pipedrive with the free 30-day trial. We did not like the standard layout. It was not customizable to our liking, and it could not perform the functions we were looking for in our daily business workflow. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Kintone We transferred our data records from google sheets to Kintone. While they aren't very comparable, the amount of tools and analysis that Kintone allowed us to do were far superior to Google Sheets. Incentivized Helpful? NM Nic Morrow Inventory Clerk Chose Kintone Again, I came along after the implementation of Kintone. Kintone does provide plenty of customization and personalization within the program without the ability to code HTML. Incentivized Helpful? Farshad Karimi Implementation Manager Chose Kintone More customizable in my opinion and free, though Kintone has drag and drop which is excellent and my favorite part. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Kintone Kintone is the easiest product to create from and the cost is the lowest I believe. In addition, reconfigurability and extendability are great. If you look for a low code tool, you can try Kintone. But as same as another low code tool, don't expect too much. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Kintone It's more flexible and better looking than its competitors. But the main reason is that after extensive searches for a product that would support our requirements, Kintone was the only one that claimed to be able to do so. After building the project, it works as expected. We … Incentivized Helpful? BC Ben Clarkson General Manager Chose Kintone Kintone is the best value for the dollar amount. It is also based on JavaScript (as far as the more in-depth customizations go) so you don’t have to learn a new language. Quickbase was extremely expensive for what it offered and FileMaker Pro required learning their custom … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Kintone We spent 6 months working with programmers and customer service representatives from ActiveCampaign to try to customize ActiveCampaign for our needs. ActiveCampaign employees finally told us that our use-case was too complicated for their system since it was not designed to do … Incentivized Helpful? Caneel Johnson Database Developer Chose Kintone Previously we used, sequalm access, and something called CSST. None of them were as dynamic or easy to build and update as Kintone. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Kintone Kintone won out based on a few factors. MS Access can be a good alternative, but you can have trouble with sharing the data when needed. We like the mobile app that Kintone provides as well. Compared to Trello, the price of Kintone was better, considering the differences in … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Kintone These systems have always lacked customization which is really where Kintone shines. That being said, Salesforce did allow a certain level of customization on a more grand scale for a giant company I worked. for. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Kintone Salesforce was very difficult to navigate and I couldn't figure out how to use it. Their interface is not very user-friendly.

Shin Kishioka PRESIDENT Chose Kintone Salesforce CMS Incentivized Helpful? CM Cheryl Molyneaux Executive Director Chose Kintone I selected Kintone for price, customization, and user-friendliness. Incentivized Helpful? Carmen Miller Project Manager Chose Kintone Monday.com — I used this in my previous job and loved it for tracking stages and tasks (and I color-code everything), but at the time it was more clunky on raw data. It may have improved in this since then? Kintone is strong on data and I still color-code everything! … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	BIC Platform	Kintone
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	I recommend Kintone for companies that need the ability to customize standalone applications or to provide a 'hub' to employees as a jumping-off point. I also recommend Kintone for any company that is drowning in spreadsheets, or is using 10 apps for 10 different purposes - you can consolidate everything into one place. Kintone, I think, needs a larger team for customization as your company grows. If you are a small office of 20 people, using it out of the box will likely be just fine for your needs. If you're working with 200 people out of an office, it'd likely be good to have someone with a bit of CSS, Java, and API experience in order to maximize what you get out of it - though you won't need that if you're keeping it simple.

Pros	No answers on this topic	Flexibility. You can build apps (without coding) to serve a wide range of processes and projects. Ease of use. The interface is intuitive. Training. There are resources readily available to train new users. Even starting from scratch, I felt like I was up to speed in just a few hours. Incentivized Becca Rusinko Life Coach Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	I feel that Kintone is not well enough known yet. This means that other apps/APIs are not necessarily easy to connect with Kintone. Yes, you can use Zapier though for interfacing with other apps. It would be great if it could give more customized options to change the look and format of certain things. You can make price quote apps, for example, but have to rely on 3rd party apps or programming skills to customize the look and fields. If you make a table as an input field, it cannot connect to other internal Kintone apps for lookups and such. I think there is more potential to make more customized data graphs.

Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	We have been quite happy with our use of Kintone thus far. We looked at several options before choosing Kintone and believe it had the best value and best features, while allowing for complete customization, rather than being locked into preformatted apps that may not address exactly what we need or be more than what we need.

Usability	No answers on this topic	I love everything bout it. I love that if there is something I don't feel is working well enough, we are able to change it. The ONLY thing I would say is that if you were able to make it so every time I click on anything in the website/app it stayed in the same page, that would be great, but I don' think it is possible and I think this is due to using so many external APIs Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Support Rating	No answers on this topic	I am very happy with Kintone and support it fully. I think that it is a great place for any company that wants to create a platform for better management. It is easy to use and pretty affordable. It is straightforward and has many tools that can be used by anyone. There are many helpful tutorials available too to guide users Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Online Training	No answers on this topic	The training was seamless and easy to follow Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	Everyone has their own tastes of things and way they want to work. Asking them to adapt to the changes with the new tools or apps is always difficult. We would want to start with a very small but best example within the organization, which in our case was that the employees will not be bothered by the bosses by being asked to find the documents, status of the progresses, or major things/requests/projects. Incentivized Shin Kishioka PRESIDENT Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	I don't know if this is the right Salesforce platform we used, but it was way too clunky and not built for the metrics we actually wanted to collect. Kintone doesn't have all the bells and whistles of Salesforce, but I don't really need them. For our small organization's needs, we needed something a little smaller and a little more versatile.

Scalability	No answers on this topic	I could see this work for all departments if implemented correctly. Incentivized Farshad Karimi Implementation Manager Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	It used to take us 15-20 minutes to create a quote for a client. It now takes less than 3. It allows a few of our employees to work remotely, which was essentially impossible prior. We can see raw data for success/failure rates, which we actively use in our employee review process.
