Kintone Recognized in Gartner 2019 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Low-Code Application Platforms

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Kintone, the teamwork platform with a visual application builder that boosts collaboration, has been recognized in Gartner's 2019 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Low-Code Application Platforms*. This is the third consecutive year Gartner has recognized Kintone in this Magic Quadrant report, and Kintone was one of 18 vendors positioned in the Magic Quadrant.

"We're very pleased to be chosen again for Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Low-Code Application Platforms Report, our third consecutive selection," said Dave Landa, CEO of Kintone. "We've seen tremendous growth in market opportunities over the past four years and believe demand will only increase over the next five years. As more companies realize the benefits of empowering their employees with a platform that promotes teamwork and provides a more collaborative way to solving daily business problems, Kintone's teamwork platform will continue to experience explosive growth among citizen developers who can quickly master a visual approach to app development."

According to the Gartner report:

    --  "Enterprise low-code application platforms offer compelling productivity
        gains for professional and citizen development, as well as
        speed-of-delivery benefits."
    --  "By 2024, three-quarters of large enterprises will be using at least
        four low-code development tools for both IT application development and
        citizen development initiatives."
    --  "By, 2024, low-code application development will be responsible for more
        than 65% of application development activity."

According to the report, "The enterprise LCAP market is growing strongly, due to continued demand for applications and a shortage of skilled developers. Low-code development is a natural evolution of rising abstraction levels in application development, which will eventually lead to viable cross-enterprise, highly scalable citizen development and composition of applications.

LCAP vendors represent the vanguard of the movement to democratize application development by increasingly replacing standard business application development in Java or .NET, and providing differentiating alternatives to commercial off-the-shelf or SaaS applications."

Kintone now has 12,000 customers across enterprise and SMBs, and has created an ecosystem of partners, developers, and citizen developers that have collectively built over 750,000 applications.
