    I liked the software. It has helped us find an easy way to track certifications for our organization.

    Pros

    What I like most about this software it is super easy to build a database with drag and drop. Also, if you need something more advance there is a custom development team that is affordable

    Cons

    I think the look of the user interface needs to be updated. The visual design needs work as it doesn't look visually impressive compared to some tools.

    Response from Kintone

    Hi Barry, thanks for the review! So glad you're loving our drag and drop feature. It sure does help to build your custom apps with ease. I will pass on your notes about the user interface to the team.

    Great, customer support has been easy to use and the staff is very knowledgable about the product.

    Pros

    Kintone is easy to customize without coding knowledge and offers almost all of the functionality of products that are 5x as expensive.

    Integrations with other programs need to be refined and the ability to reverse a step in the process management system would be really helpful.

    It is better than what we had but that is not saying much. I am hoping that future enhancements will make it better.

    We have automated our quoting process, our freight shipping process, our purchasing process, and many other procedures with Kintone. If there's a problem, chances are, we can fix it with Kintone.

    Pros

    I love the custom nature of the software and the ability to customize every app with JavaScript. Offbeat Press is a custom screen printing company so everything we do is custom and we need a software that can keep up with all of our custom needs. Kintone does that.

    Cons

    If you don't have experience with JavaScript, it can become a little more expensive for various add-ons, but not much. And, at the end of the day, that's not a con against Kintone. It's a con against whoever is building the apps.

    Alternatives Considered

    Claris FileMaker, Quickbase, Zoho Docs, Airtable, Salesforce Sales Cloud and LibreOffice
