Considered Both Products
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
Vtiger
Chose Vtiger
It's not complicated and very easily to use compared to the CRM I used from my former company. There not too much to click just to finish the tasks. Easy to generate data for reporting.
Chose Vtiger
The selection of Vtiger as CRM wasn't on my hands. The decision was made before I arrived to the company. Nevertheless, I know that the pricing was one of the main reasons and the overall performance of Vtiger. It was feature on the top of Gartner's Magic Quadrant. And the …
Chose Vtiger
Synaptica is mainly for taxonomy, but it stores our product attribution as well, just like Vtiger. Vtiger is a more robust software, and stores product data beyond selling attributes. At our organization size, we like a program like Vtiger because it's more broad with more …
Chose Vtiger
VTiger had better overall cost and native capabilities that other solutions lacked. We used Nutshell CRM for over a year. It was a very efficient contact management system, but it seemed that if we needed to do anything but record contacts, we had to use an add-on. We spent a …
Chose Vtiger
Just being a user of Vtiger since I got hired at GB Advisors. Used those solutions on previous experiences, Microsoft Dynamics was deployed in my previous job for opportunity management, it was not so friendly as Vtiger, not sure if it was a bad deployment. Salesforce was used …
Chose Vtiger
SugarCRM is a very powerful CRM let down by a complex UI which means that most organizations would have trouble self-managing the database. leading to a high cost of ownership.
MailChimp is a great email marketing tool for databases below 2000 contacts as that is the point at …
Chose Vtiger
I have used MS Excel to manage such kind of operations but during reporting I faced lots of difficulties. Where in Vtiger CRM I got the most advantage out of MS Excel. It has a dynamic communication history system and a real time activity log where I can track the real time …
Chose Vtiger
The selection of vTiger was done by my management team to be able to see invoicing status in Quickbooks. Unfortunately, this feature has never worked but I think this might be a problem on our end, not a vTiger issue. We looked at Salesforce, HubSpot CRM, and ACT before making …

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.

Vtiger has evolved in the interfaces design. You can access all required data from one screen, similar to a control data. You have also sales and support dashboards predefined, but you can create your own. As less appropriate the templates design, it has not evolved from old versions of Vtiger.

Pros
  • 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.

  • I love reporting. I can build a custom report using all or any of the dimensions of my choice. This is great when other programs often limit this ability.
  • I like that is a source of truth across the organization. We can all go in and see the same thing.
  • This also works for communication with our teams in other countries. We are a global organization.

Cons
  • 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.

  • Although Vtiger integrates well with email, like most CRM systems it assumes that you have one email system and therefore it is less suitable for use cases where multiple email systems need to be supported.
  • Although Vtiger supports Twitter it does not support other social media systems in the same way. You can tailor the system to hold the URLs of your contacts' social media profiles but if SM is a big thing for your organization then there are better systems available.

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
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.

In the Last versions they have done a strong effort in creating a powerful data screen. Inside the screen you have access to signing, communications with multiple tools integration and connections with all modules related. With a single view you have all control over your data relations. It is similar to a control managing.

Support Rating
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.

there is not much problem in using CRM. There were times it was lagging or bugging, but later on it will be fixed and I can use it again.
Read full review
Implementation Rating
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
  • 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.
