As we embark on a new year ahead, we are thrilled to announce that Kintone has been recognized with multiple “Best of” badges from Gartner Digital Markets brands: Capterra, Software Advice, and GetApp, a leading software recommendation search engine.

The “Best of” badges program is an independent assessment that evaluates user reviews to help buyers identify the highest-rated software companies in specific categories that offer the most popular solutions.

"These recognitions reflect our value on delivering an exceptional experience to our customers and their trust in us. We're thrilled to see our vision resonate with so many."
– Yu Tanabe, COO of Kintone

Kintone as a No-Code Application Platform

The core of Kintone’s platform is that it goes one step further than most other solutions; while the majority of other no-code solutions rely on citizen developers to have a working grasp of code in order to effectively create applications, Kintone’s platform is effectively no-code. This means someone with zero coding experience can still use Kintone’s platform to develop sophisticated, custom applications for their work.

People of every technical level can use Kintone’s drag-and-drop interface to create the applications they need at a pace programmers can’t hope to match.

According to software development firm, Soltech, most traditional software development projects take between 7-9 months to take from concept to deployment. By contrast, Kintone’s platform often takes businesses an average of 1-3 months to set up, with savvy employees developing brand new apps for themselves and their team in a matter of hours.

Ouray Environmental Services Owner and President Aaron Montgomery adopted Kintone after he found it could match the responsiveness he needed for his industry:

“We’re an environmental services company that does emergency response support to companies with chemical spills or environmental cleanup needs...It was important to me to find a platform I could maintain internally. I wanted to avoid a situation where, if a colleague needed a change in permissions to export something, I’d have to email someone and then wait for them to see the email, login, and do it. I wanted to be able to go in and change things myself in 30 seconds.”
