Kintone’s collaboration tools let users organize conversations by topic, project, or even by record, making it easy to refer back to past team discussions and decisions. And Kintone’s workflow tools make it easy to spot bottlenecks or see opportunities to reduce redundancies for a more streamlined work experience.

Kintone’s functionality is extended with APIs or integrations with the third-party services that supports other parts of the business. Kintone offers a library of 100+ integrations.

Spaces in Kintone are like a floor in a company’s building set aside just for a particular team. They’re digital “floors” in Kintone where teams can organize, manage, and track everything that matters to them—from tasks and deadlines to weekly reports and project conversations.

Kintone’s mobile app means provides access to work from just about anywhere with an internet connection. It can be used to stay up to date on a running conversation, add new data from the field, or approve a task that needs a sign-off.

We use it to track student enrollment, programming, and progress. We report data to grantmakers and stakeholders and make data-driven large-scale decisions.
  • Tracking clients
  • Communication across departments
  • Data security
Cons
  • The changes we make today aren't reflected in current records.
  • The process to pull reports seems "clunky" to me. We go back and forth between Excel and Kintone in order to prepare presentations and write reports.
Pro- Secures client data, allows for user management, and provides for remote collaboration. Con- Changes to app fields often require manual changes to previously entered records, which is time-consuming.

At our company, we have two major goals we wanted to solve using Kintone. The first one is that we have small niche items and products but many types we resell, and I have been constantly bothering our team members about the last quote, last sales of particular products, and wasting their time. We(I) wanted to minimize our team members' time looking for past shipping documents, or sales-related documents. Some of the items or products we only have once-a-year inquiries and we certainly don't remember in our head the pricing, lead time, etc. Second, on another aspect is the expense reports, vacation requests, contracts/agreements we wanted to go 100% paperless and track the approvals.
  • Agility and flexibility in creating variety of apps for your office work.
  • Leave notes for particular people for each threads.
  • Logs and traceabilities.
  • Ease of use.
  • Fast implementations.
  • Trial collaboration apps with outside organizations and partners.
Cons
  • Ability to send emails from Kintone
  • Clarification on Collaboration capabilities with accounting software
During this pandemic with the high turnover rate at many companies, as a supplier, vendors, or clients, we would like them to use Kintone so that in case anyone leaves the companies, they will be able to find our past transactions, inquiries, and businesses to seamlessly take over and receive the support from them and vice-a-versa. I Hope Kintone has much more collaboration options with the outside companies of ours that we work with day-to-day. We are all heading into automation and seamless collaborations with our vendors, suppliers, and partners. We would need a much higher level of such options ready.

Organizing client information and to-dos. A basic overall system to keep track of customer notes, bills, time, anything relating to the business so that we doesn't lose any important information.
  • Customization - Being able to create apps that fit my business needs
  • User ease - It's a very simple system to use and master
  • Look - I like the general look of the apps and simplicity
Cons
  • I'd like to see more options in app creating
  • Time keeping is something I would really like to be able to use better on this system
  • Invoicing would also be a nice additional system that we could use
Kintone works well for a small business without an IT person. I don't see it being as successful for a smaller business with some of the inabilities to create additional lists. I think if I needed to know more information on a certain client it would be better if the systems meshed a bit more but it works okay for me since I know where to look for what I need.

Kintone to the rescue!

We run a logistics business, trucking. Prior to Kintone the most difficult part of this business was organization and documentation. Now that issue is resolved. Through Kintone I was able to develop apps that track drivers, expenses, profits, and keep track of all documentation! That is all very amazing to me. I couldn't have done any of this without the great Kintone team. They literally held my hand through the whole process. Many thanks to them and the rest of the team. Not only were they sharp and professional, but they were very patient with me. Can't say enough about my team, love them.
  • Tracking
  • Calculating
  • Graphs
Cons
  • Would love to be able to email from within application.
Kintone is great for startups great for non-developers great for speed and ease of use.

Kintone is a quality product for forms that need to be created quickly to serve a single purpose.

For creating quick and efficient cloud-based forms, I have not used a more intuitive product. Forms and grids are configurable and deliverable in minutes with the capabilities of API and Workflow capabilities as the need arises. Kintone addresses my needs for quick, deliverable forms that prompt the user for the necessary information, validate that information, and provide notifications. This allows me to develop ad hoc workflows and status update forms quickly.
  • Employee Onboarding Check List
  • Employee Address Verification
  • Document Employee Movements and Changes
  • Provide a master list of Warehouses with all pertinent data for each
Cons
  • Much easier way to create drop downs based on other kintone forms data
  • More attractive UI
  • Scheduled Imports and exports of data
  • Command Line functionality to export data and Import Data
  • Built-in ability to send data to MSSQL/Built in ability to load drop-down data from MS SQL Db
This product is well suited to ad hoc forms that request and store data where the form does not need to pull data from other sources or validate data based on other data sources.
