Kintone has saved me hours per week by simplifying our reporting process and giving us a single spot for reports. One easy to access location for all information.
I would like to see some additional traditional database features, but for the price, I wouldn't expect them.
We had issues with multiple people having their own versions of spreadsheets. We have now one spot for the ONLY spreadsheet. It's easy to update and view.
I love that Kintone allows me to almost effortlessly track data. We have expanded the data tracking of our organization exponentially because of Kintone. It is VERY easy to create an app and easy to import and export data to a spreadsheet. I also LOVE that Kintone offers a Non-Profit price break. It allows us as a small non-profit to use a wonderful tool. We keep adding apps and increasing our ability to gather quality data.
There are a few features that are missing, that would be helpful. 1) searching for a partial name, like typing "JA" and having all of the names that meet that being available to select from. 2) being able to sort the 'apps' based on my personal frequency of use rather than when they were created.
We are tracking so many data points. It is very easy to provide grant funders or the general public with solid data. Our productivity increased and our team feels confident in the data they are gathering.
I like the cloud base format allowing me to access my data anytime and anywhere. Also, the ability to connect this database through Zap greatly enhances the flexibility.
So far I have not found anything to dislike about this platform.
Multi-agency case management. I can give users access from different companies allowing them to run stakeholder reports.
powerful search engine and no coding required
strict on file upload format, uploading require data cleaning
database for my company to easily access customer data
Ease of use and adaptability. Customer service is great too. I really like the no-code usability and the helpful tips and tricks Kintone offers. The online forums are helpful too. The software allows you to easily prepare reports and graphs. I use it almost explicitly to forecast financial tracking and spending. I switched our department over from an Access database to kintone due to Access being outdated, updated, and not user-friendly. Kintone has solved that issue and made our life much easier.
The GUI is not that aesthetically pleasing, but that does not really bother me too badly. The ease of use and customer service make up for it! There is almost too much functionality.
Internal Financial tracking, report and graph making. Being able to export to excel is a really nice feature. Having everything stored on the cloud is great too.
Kintone is easy to navigate, the tech support is always available, and treats us like family.
We are yet to find anything that we absolutely dislike about Kintone
We can provide a robust system in the field by using the Kintone mobile application, which has led to easy documentation while out helping clients.
I like Kintone because Tim is great in support, explanation of how to do things, patience, kind, and very tolerant of us technologically challenege users!!!!
I do not like being dependent on Technol
All my data is in one place and it is customizeable to meet my data configuration needs!
The simple design has made it easy to build working solutions to some of our back-office data management tasks. In particular we have focused on replacing spreadsheets that did not have enough data validation. Kintone's simple design is ideally suited to these types of tasks and is a great upgrade over spreadsheets where data corruption or user mistakes can break all of your work.
1 - I wish that there was a HIPAA complient version of the product so that we could develope client tracking applications for some of our smaller programs. 2 - The plugin developmenet documentation could be much better. A library of previously developed plugins would be very helpful as a starting point so that I and my dev team could see examples of working plugins in action.
To date we have mostly focused on inventory management problems. Our first project was a PPE inventory procurement and distribution database. Prior to the pandemic, offices generally procurred these items on their own, but the increase in use brought the need for centralized bulk purchasing and distribution. Our second project was a technology lending library. Much like the PPE inventory, we needed an inventory management solution that was a step above a spreadsheet, but not as complex as a standard IT inventory management system. It was very easy to develop this in Kintone, creating a simple interface for program staff to check in and out devices to our clients for use at home.
We've been with Kintone for about a year and it's been a pretty good experience. We've been able to create some simple apps quickly and painlessly without the need for development skills. However, with our team's development skills, we've also been able to create much more complex production managment software that connects multiple apps together. Everything is adaptable and thus we keep building on it as our business grows.
It's not as pretty as some software out there, but the fact that it works better than most is far more important. It works on mobile phones, but it's not fully mobile adapted.
We looked at every major industry software and decided we would be cutting corners by using any of them, or we would be committed to a high monthly cost that didn't make sense for the size of our business. We've been able to build our own customized software for our business at a reasonable monthly fee that we honestly feel is better suited for our business.
I love that it is so versitile, and can pretty much do anything you need it too. Tim has been amazing working with us on everything.
There are a few cosmetic things that could make it more visually pleasing.
We have cut our work flow, number of files, and the aount of time it takes to find things in half or more.
It's hard to pick just one thing to like best, but among my favorite things are the process management options to automate approvals (we have lots of different approvers who approve items based on a number of criteria), the ability to set permissions levels for users, and the fact that apps can integrate to look up and link to related data in other apps.
I wish there were a personal plan for families/couples, to use for anything from shared shopping lists to vehicle maintenance to household inventory, budgeting, keeping copies of receipts and warranty info, holiday cards lists - there would be no end to the things a couple or family could share and track together.
Kintone has made it possible for our Accounts Payble to be paperless, just in time for Covid to require working from home. I honestly don't know how I would have managed this last year without Kintone! As we are nearing our organization-wide roll out of Kintone, it is greatly simplifying our approval processes (saving me a lot of time and also preventing errors). My daily work takes less time to complete now, and supervisors in other departments in our organization can look up the status of an invoice in real time, saving themselves a phone call or email to me to ask.
We love the ease of working with Kintone. The forms are easy to customize and easy to navigate.
Printing from Kintone is very light. We create work orders with Kintone which works great but when we print the printing is very light.
We were working off excel spreadsheets we had to save them separately and then figure out who had the most recent copy. We had no database system in place that we could all use.
We are able to fully customize our application to what we are needing, and keep job tracking with little effort
Need more options without purchasing plug-ins.
We are a printing company that needed to keep track of Print Jobs and Customers. There are other programs online that can do this, but they are very expensive. With Kintone I can create a custom option that will allow me to keep track of jobs and customers, and add options that work for my business instead of other people telling me what I need to include.
Ease of use. We have found this program extremely easy to use. We are looking at many other applications that we can switch over to it.
Support has been good but can take up to 48 hours at times to get back to us. Overall, we have not had a need to get a quicker response.
We have been able to create inventory databases, keeping track of the number of patrons that attend our various programs, and databases with common questions asked by our customers. We have limited staff, without programming experience. This solves that issue for us. We also enjoy the mobile aspect very much.
My background as a (retired) Sr. Systems Analyst/Programmer has helped in that I understand the concepts of creating programs and relational databases. My programming skills are a bit rusty and somewhat outdated, but I found Kintone easy to adapt to and was able to develop a robust system to record and report distribution statistics, avoid duplicate distributions, provide more accurate records and documentation to comply with USDA regulations. Of course Tim Edingfield, our Kintone NPO Community Lead helped me along the way, and found solutions for cross checks and fine tuned some of my modules for better performance. I'm still learning, but am having fun getting back in the development of programs using a much less complex platform.
We've had a few issues with running the application on different tablets and are working with Tim to resolve. This has been frustrating as it has occurred during the food bank distribution and we have had to resort to manual entry, causing some records to be entered after the distribution, causing additional work and delaying the report.
Quicker check-in of recipients, which means faster distribution of food to about 300 households, representing more than 600 people being served. Our numbers are increasing each month and Kintone, in part, has helped us to be able to serve more families. Monthly reporting is faster. What took 5 or 6 hours calculating from hand recorded check-in sheets is now calculated and reported in just a few minutes.
What I like the best is the functionality. It is easy to use and understand
No comment, for the moment everything we are doing is perfectly working
For our Organization, we have created a Database that includes all of our activities. everything is made with Kintone, all the departments are linked in one Database
Assigned representative to assess your needs, offer solutions, get you started, provide any needed customization and be there for help. It was super easy to get going and use the software. Pricing is very reasonable and the existing apps save a lot of time so you can jump right in. Overall just how EASY it is to get started and use the software for the solution you need.
Pretty plain GUI but it is very functional and practical
Database management, referral tracking between partner organizations working on a grant. VERY easy to modify the apps for custom use.
Kintone is super easy to use. My organization is using it for many different solutions. Staff can easily track their outreach programs and the directors loves the easily understandable graphical reports.
An increase in their support knowledge base (so I don't have to contact support) would be helpful.
HR and project tracking. The graphical reporting is intuitive to use and easy for managers to read and explain.
It is easy to use and can customize based on our needs.
Report system is a little bit difficult to use.
We can centralized the all prospective customer leads.
Online BPMN is the best feature i have ever used for task escalation and automation
Price should be decreased little bit then it will affordable
Team management
