Considered Both Products
Capsule CRM
Chose Capsule CRM
We chose Capsule CRM over Zoho CRM due to the various modules that it would take for Zoho CRM to work for our firm. Additional Zoho modules would have been needed (Zoho CRM and Projects) to make it work for us which in turn requires additional management. With Capsule CRM, …
Chose Capsule CRM
  • Easy to signup and ease of use for small business use cases.
  • Non-aggresive (a good thing) sales team helps clients try it out at their own pace.
  • Only the key important featuers are visible on the screen which matter. Helps with lesser confusion with carry out simple tasks.
Chose Capsule CRM
because the customer support is very responsive and every problem is resolved efficiently and quickly.
Chose Capsule CRM
UNLIKE OTHER CRM, Capsule CRM incorporates the latest business technologies into a single solution. It is the best application for promoting our business. The level of communication with clients is outstanding. We can get a quick and accurate read on anything by simply …
Chose Capsule CRM
Capsule CRM is an excellent application to compensate for the latest business technologies in one solution as compare to other Oracle CRM. There is nothing as good as this application in forming a solid framework for business promotions. The communication with clients is …
Chose Capsule CRM
We simply could not afford to use the other platforms and felt this was the best choice for now! And, we're really happy with our decision because it includes everything we had wanted, and at a better price. We refer a lot of clients to this product and train them on how to use …
Chose Capsule CRM
Capsule CRM feels modern, quick and on-the-ball with its layout, features and integration options. It also has an intuitive feel making it easy to adopt from an alternative system.
Chose Capsule CRM
I also looked at Less Annoying CRM. However, capsule integrated with G-suite better, looked better to use and had a free version.
Chose Capsule CRM
It stacks up pretty well in basic features but lags behind in terms of CRM features and support, there is a lack of features as compared to the multitude of these software and support only exists over mail, a live chat feature would be much appreciated, integration with …
Chose Capsule CRM
We have researched various other programs including Zoho CRM, HubSpot, Salesforce and Insightly. Each has its pros and cons, but we chose Capsule CRM due to their integration with our email marketing and accounting software and the scalability of the product for our small …
Chose Capsule CRM
Capsule CRM is a great lightweight CRM that is easy to use and has all the features a small CRM would need. The free version is really great for a company not ready to start paying for a CRM but just needs to use a CRM for a feature like contact management.
Chose Capsule CRM
CRM Is by far the best CRM I have used for small businesses. However, I find Pipedrive the better option for bigger businesses.
Chose Capsule CRM
SuiteCRM, & SugarCRM were the other final contenders when I chose Capsule CRM. I don't remember what was the final factor in making a decision, but I know that the amount of database you can get for free was really my main consideration, and the ability to grow into the paid …
Chose Capsule CRM
Salesforce was a complete failure for us because it did way too much. The learning curve was too steep, it was too expensive, and it didn't fit us overall (we're a very small business).
Insightly was clumsy and didn't have the flexibility (and huge amount of integrations) that …
Kintone
Chose Kintone
Kintone wasn’t cookie cutter like the other options I consider. It was customizable and had great customer service to help me make it what I need.
Chose Kintone
We tested Pipedrive with the free 30-day trial. We did not like the standard layout. It was not customizable to our liking, and it could not perform the functions we were looking for in our daily business workflow.
Chose Kintone
We transferred our data records from google sheets to Kintone. While they aren't very comparable, the amount of tools and analysis that Kintone allowed us to do were far superior to Google Sheets.
Chose Kintone
Again, I came along after the implementation of Kintone. Kintone does provide plenty of customization and personalization within the program without the ability to code HTML.
Chose Kintone
More customizable in my opinion and free, though Kintone has drag and drop which is excellent and my favorite part.
Chose Kintone
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.
Chose Kintone
It's more flexible and better looking than its competitors. But the main reason is that after extensive searches for a product that would support our requirements, Kintone was the only one that claimed to be able to do so. After building the project, it works as expected. We …
Chose Kintone
Kintone is the best value for the dollar amount. It is also based on JavaScript (as far as the more in-depth customizations go) so you don’t have to learn a new language. Quickbase was extremely expensive for what it offered and FileMaker Pro required learning their custom …
Chose Kintone
We spent 6 months working with programmers and customer service representatives from ActiveCampaign to try to customize ActiveCampaign for our needs. ActiveCampaign employees finally told us that our use-case was too complicated for their system since it was not designed to do …
Chose Kintone
Previously we used, sequalm access, and something called CSST. None of them were as dynamic or easy to build and update as Kintone.
Chose Kintone
Kintone won out based on a few factors. MS Access can be a good alternative, but you can have trouble with sharing the data when needed. We like the mobile app that Kintone provides as well. Compared to Trello, the price of Kintone was better, considering the differences in …
Chose Kintone
These systems have always lacked customization which is really where Kintone shines. That being said, Salesforce did allow a certain level of customization on a more grand scale for a giant company I worked. for.
Chose Kintone
Salesforce was very difficult to navigate and I couldn't figure out how to use it. Their interface is not very user-friendly. I contacted someone for help and they gave me a very typical business presentation, which was not useful. I figured out how to use Kintone immediately, …
Chose Kintone
Monday.com — I used this in my previous job and loved it for tracking stages and tasks (and I color-code everything), but at the time it was more clunky on raw data. It may have improved in this since then? Kintone is strong on data and I still color-code everything! …
Chose Kintone
We have used RDP, a SalesForce product but you must pay to have any customization done and it is not user-friendly.
Chose Kintone
Kintone allowed me to test its product more fully than other platforms. Scalable pricing was an incentive, as was the ability to create apps to perform diverse functions, like scheduling and project management. Kintone's help documentation enabled me to really play around with …
Chose Kintone
We selected Kintone because it was the best combination of price and function. We needed something that could grow and scale with the organization, and that included looking at future prices. We didn't want to invest in something if we would be priced out five new users later. …
Chose Kintone
Kintone is much more customizable and user-friendly than Access. We also have experience with Service Point - Kintone is again, much more customizable. We would love a two-way interface between Kintone and Service ice Point. That would be a tremendous bonus for capturing & …
Chose Kintone
Microsoft Dynamics frequently updates to change layout, functionality, etc. Things then get hard to relearn where everything is and what functions have been added, lost, or replaced. It also didn't add much flexibility to customize.
Chose Kintone
Caseworthy is a very large extensive database that is excellent. However, Kintone is affordable for our small non-profit (with only one employee). We would be swimming in the complexity of Caseworthy.
Chose Kintone
I have experience with the following, similar, platforms that are not available as options above: Mantis Real Tracks

Using Capsule CRM, businesses can have a perfect CRM solution without the risk of being forced to pay on a monthly subscription basis. Compared to other customer relationship management apps, it has a wide range of unique features. Functional and cost-effective are the main advantages. Because we're a small company, its simplicity appeals to us greatly. For a limited time, start-ups can store up to 250 contacts in the free version. Capsule CRM is well-suited to Gmail and offers many other integration possibilities. Even though it lacks some more powerful CRM features, the Capsule platform makes up for this with a widespread list of integrations.

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.

Pros
  • Capsule is very easy to use. You can just jump in and learn as you go. There are advantages to really learning the ins and outs, but for those who aren't sold on a CRM to begin with it's good for just getting them started. It is what you make of it--you can use the most basic features or really dive in to the many functionalities.
  • The UI is clean and intuitive. We don't get easily overwhelmed while using it.
  • Capsule has a very robust contact management system. It allows for the generation of very specific lists within existing contacts, which is good if the user has to keep track of thousands of individuals and companies. There is a tagging feature that is great for further organizing contacts.
  • I like that there is a simple workflow option. I encourage the sales guys to make use of this "Tracks" feature, and they often do (but if they don't, it's not the end of the world, which is nice). It provides custom sets of tasks that are created as soon as you start an opportunity or a case.
  • Capsule has a LOT of integrations, which is great if you're looking to expand what you do with your CRM. We got Capsule just to keep track of the sales pipeline, but now that everyone's on board with the concept of a CRM (they weren't sold at first!) we can look into implementing more robust programs that can "talk to" Capsule.

  • 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.

Cons
  • Its integration with Mail chimp is not smooth. Also, it does not allow to list contacts alphabetically which is a great downside of this tool. It does not contain some essential marketing features.
  • It needs to improve the user interface and make it more productive especially on the calendar view.
  • The contact sorting is quite disappointing. It would be nice if it allows users to set screen filters.
Read full review
  • 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

Usability
  • Ease of use for small business owners who have very less time to learn how to use a CRM.
  • Mobile application is nice and clean with key features being highlighted. Helps to update them on the go.
  • Free plan has good features which helps with client buyin after setting it up and the client trying the setup out before making a purchase.

Kintone is agile app and most of the time we can easily come up with new apps. However, there should be more feature-based drag and drop and or a visual-based usability, as we all want to minimize the number of clicks and dropdown menu selections as much as possible. Thanks.

Capsule CRM effectively specifies the causes of any project's disadvantage and problem-solving. This application is effortless because of its genuine approach to business empowerment. Everything is easily accessible with a single click. Our clients will appreciate our technical and user-friendly promotions. Furthermore, it is well worth our company's time to run.

The support from Kintone has been excellent. On numerous occasions, customer service representatives have proactively reached out to us to see if we needed help with anything. They also scheduled Zoom calls one month after we went live to go over any questions we had. Additionally, they assigned a local account representative to check in on us periodically to provide any necessary help.

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.

Return on Investment
  • Capsule CRM software not only interprets with resource planning but maintains the customer relationship at its peak.
  • This software is altogether a big package to promote and control the business movements on a high scale
  • This application tends to work with all versions but, there is no plan to cop up with the R13 version so, the latest version should have all effects to compensate for the business dealings.
Read full review
  • 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.
