Creately vs. Kintone

Creately sells itself as software specializing in a wide variety of areas, which is true in some cases. Visualizing and creating marketing processes, research, user flows, and general flowcharts is an extremely powerful tool. However, in other areas, such as Human Resources, UI/UX prototyping, and Wireframe design, it leaves a little to be desired compared to the competition.

Kintone is great if you want a software that will help you in managing your data, and keep track of which tasks are assigned to whom. It also helps to streamline communication and information in one central place. However, it is not for you if you are looking for something complex that has to manage a lot of data.

• Helps to create wonderful charts.
• Helps co-worker to work on a similar project.
• It allows importing multiple templates.

Incentivized

• 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

• Can add more tutorials to guide the users in the tool
• Tools lags sometimes when a diagram with lot of data is loaded
• It also gets stuck sometime when an Undo functionality is used

• 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.

I still think that there's a room for Kintone's future, and high expectations for them in additional features and innovative tools and supports. Truly hope that they will support email features, and standardized supports for various plug-ins with the 3rd party software and apps. In the meantime, we will have to consider our ways of doing our work in all aspects

While, we have been quite happy with out choice to use Kintone, there are a couple of things (mentioned previously) that would make the experience better. Overall, it has been the best fit for our organisation. We are still in the process of building out a needed API and integrating that, so we have yet to reach full functionality with one of our apps in Kintone. Once we have that completed, I think we'll have a better idea of how well it truly works for us

Never had an issue with this.

No issues.

It definitely could be better, but it may also depend on the type of license you are subscribing to.

I have had very specific questions about different aspects of the software, and I have always been able to get a hold of someone who could help. If my sales rep didn’t know the answer, he would get me in touch with someone who did know the answer. The whole team is very ready to help. It definitely feels like they view my success as their success, which is so important with this type of software.

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.

Creately is a more intuitive solution and has better looking elements, shapes etc.

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.

Should be multiple pricing packages.

I could see this work for all departments if implemented correctly.

Needed improvement at the time.

• We were able to save a lot of time in visualizing strategic processes.
• We saved meeting time by simply showing our workflows and keeping our coworkers in the loop.

Incentivized

• It has helped us reduce the amount of people we need to track our inventory. We’ve saved time and money using less people.
• We are able to see our data much better now and have a spot that we can all look at the database on the go.
