Kintone vs. Outlook4Gmail

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.

I folder all emails of certain subject. Outlook makes this an easy process. It allows for dragging messages to the proper place. Searching becomes very easy and locating what we need happens quickly. I would love to have more scheduled emailing capabilities. If the program has this feature, I am having trouble finding it.

• 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

• Keeping folders well organized
• Tracking emails based on subject alphabetically or chronologically, whichever is chosen
• Being a versatile software which can be used on any device, easily, through an app or the internet.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Receiving emails sent by myself
• Hard to locate mails
• One applications takes over the page instead of opening a new page

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.

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

Easy to use for a email and calander. If offers a wide variety of ways to use and store data. Easy to search for old emails that may have gotten lost for quick reference. Like being able to see all of our offices emails in one spot. It is a great product

Yes, it is always available

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

The training was seamless and easy to follow

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.

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.

I like Outlook way better than Slack. In Slack I can never find where conversations start and end. A lot harder to search for old conversations. I dont like the fact that multiple people can see what conversations are going on. Difficult to navigate and not user friendly. Outlook is a lot easier to navigate.

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

• 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.

Incentivized

• We have had issues with stuttering or delayed Emails with the old version, but with the new version things are running smooth.
