Kintone vs. Zuri

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.

Workflow automation where you need business resiliency adjusting processes during time to enhance client experience. Zuri is easy. It allows easy updates on stablished (simple and robust!) processes to enhance the workflow. Operations Eficiency gets focus on reducing the human hours and human errors in communications (e-mails), manuals tasks such as spreadsheets and data treatments, all types of repetitive tasks can be automated. Easy, simple and fast by non technical people. Scenarios where you need to automate workflows to ensure qualify and controlling the progresses and productivity of teams, people and organizations. Dashboards and reports specifically created for my own KPIs and goals. I could benefit from more business intelligence, getting my operations data structured (structurated data) and then used Analytics to better understand where and how to improve my operations to: increase client experience, improve profit margins while I was decreasing costs and waist.

• 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.

• Workflow automation made simple and fast by non technical people.
• Hyperautomation (technology and processes orchestration).
• Visual and intuitive interface developed for citizen developers and IT teams.
• Accelerate the automation solutions development by IT teams (from simple to complex).

• 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.

Incentivized

• AI can be slightly improved.
• Process mining can be slightly improved.

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

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.

Never had an issue with this.

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.

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.

We tried other options, saw many demos, some customized, and used some Trials. Zuri was faster and simpler to model processes and activate the automation solutions. Zuri does now require technical knowledge to automate processes. Business people (citizen developers) can easily create their own automations in simple way, in minutes. Despite, Zuri is less expensive. And, it is used by entire organization, not only IT teams. Although IT teams have the governance (full governance and control - including auditing reports ready in clicks) the business people are on the spot too. IT teams use it to accelerate (faster and better, more controlled!) automation solutions (from simple to complex - all with drag and drop feature) the business people (Sales, Marketing, HR, Suppliers, Logistics...) they can easily automate their processes without the waiting time until IT team can deliver what is needed today.

I could see this work for all departments if implemented correctly.

• 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.

Incentivized

• ROI was around 7 to 9x the second option we had.
• Less expensive than other BPMS tools (options), very fast to implement.
• Additionally, this is a BPMS tool that is used by all organization, not only IT teams.
• Democratized expertise on automation leaving IT team free for more strategic projects rather than creating processes/workflow automation solutions for businesses teams.
