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
Zenhub
Chose Zenhub
Zenhub is purpose built for Github users and provides just the tools you need to run Agile sprints without any extra complexity or fluff. Azure is a much more "enterprise" solution in which you drown in all of the available options, very similar story with Jira (pricing is also …
Chose Zenhub
Zenhub partners with Github and it's nice to use both in tandem, ultimately Zenhub has the project management capabilities we were looking for. Additionally Zenhub has a really user-friendly platform that is intuitive and not much training was required for any of the team …
Chose Zenhub
The only other program we tried that had somewhat seamless integration with our GitHub projects is GitKraken's Globoards. Globoards has a long way to go to compete, though it does have a read-only option for boards so it can be displayed corporately as an information radiator …
Chose Zenhub
I have used Workfront in the past, which in my experience, is best with a traditional waterfall methodology, similar to Microsoft Project and the other more traditional project management software projects. ZenHub is truly designed around the agile methodology. Other products …
Chose Zenhub
Way better than competition if you use github because it seamlessly integrates without doing anything. You don't need to duplicate your issues, etc. As long as your devs already use github and github issues this will be a no brainer and simple to implement. With JIRA or Trello …

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.

Zenhub is incredible for the below areas: Burndown Charts, Release Reports, Velocity Tracking, Control Points Charts, Cumulative Flow Diagrams And if there is a bottleneck in your workflow, ZenHub identifies it. The most important aspect is serving as a collaboration tool for areas that are impeding implementation projects. For example when working with non-standard ERPs and having to document ERP integrations this tool is very helpful

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.

  • ZenHub continually adds to its reporting suite-- that truly allows you to track forward motion and see what issues may be the cause of any delays.
  • Both our technical and non-technical staff can understand and use the functionality.
  • We like the flexibility of being able to provide labels to our stories that can be customized to the way our company does things--- such as knowing if an epic is part of a module or a stream.
  • We also like the flexibility of the number and labeling of the pipelines--- again, very adaptable to our organization.
  • The filtering is very useful--- with and/or conditions, and allows people on different projects, doing different functions, an easy way to view what is important to them.

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.

  • Sometimes, updates to a GitHub project can get lost if they're made through ZenHub. You do need to open the GitHub project occasionally, as you don't have exactly the same ability to modify issues and milestones from within ZenHub.
  • It's great to be able to see your projects from within ZenHub, but sometimes you'll need to check in on the GitHub project itself, as well.
  • I've run into some problems with updates getting lost on occasion. I think this happens when you do the update from within ZenHub instead of from GitHub itself. I also don't have quite as much control over my issues or milestones from within ZenHub.

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.

Once it's up and running it's easy to use. It needs a little consideration to get set up perfectly for your own needs, but that is the same for any feature-rich software.

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.

Support is good, but quite honestly, I haven't needed any support since 2015. As I remember, I was required to open a ticket and had to wait a few days for resolution. I give it a rating of 8 because of the lag in getting a solid resolution, but it was resolved adequately.

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.

  • We are now able to determine output potential from our development resources based on points assignment.
  • We were able to successfully implement an Agile methodology in our department.
  • We have been able to better track tasks.
  • We have used the releases feature to group our task to business release expections and easily filter.
