Kintone
What it is
Kintone is a customizable workplace platform for organizing team data, workflows, and conversations. Its no-code drag-and-drop tools let users create database applications, while conversations can be arranged by topic, project, or record beside the work itself. Teams can build workflows and follow project or task progress through each stage. Kintone supports APIs, third-party integrations, and a library listing more than 100 integrations; plug-ins can add capabilities, although some developer-focused connections require coding. Native iOS and Android apps accompany a mobile-ready web experience, with macOS and Windows availability. Listed security features include SAML single sign-on, two-factor authentication, IP restrictions, and audit logs. Kintone states that it is HIPAA compliant and has SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001 credentials. The paid plan costs $24 per user per month with a five-user minimum of $120 monthly, supports up to 900 apps, and includes a 30-day trial.
