Ease of use
What do you like best about the product?
We are able to build tools for our internal teams quickly. We save numerous amount of engineering hours because of retool as we save the work to build out the UX.
What do you dislike about the product?
Retool is not cheap if users are not using the tool for their day-to-day work. Retool app that uses REST endpoint does not allow anonymous users to use the app. That is inconvenient and not cost effective for some of our apps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Save engineering hours in building internal tools
Best tool for simplifying dashboards
What do you like best about the product?
The tool is sued to create UI dashboards which can be linked to your website through API. The best part is that we can always customize it based on our needs. We used it for KYC dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is linked to Google Sheets as a backend support sheet which is good for cloud options but is not well for large databases. This makes the tool very slow at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool has solved real-time issues related to KYC flows for us. There have been cases where retool has been far better compared to the Native CRM that we possess.
It's very good app

Great support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Javascript is finicky and difficult to debug.
Retool would benefit greatly from an integrated debug suite of tools so we don't have to debug from the browser like we're still in 1999.

We can easily setup 3rd party partners with a secure Retool instance so we don't have to deal with our company firewalls, auth, etc.

Easy and useful
What do you like best about the product?
It is very intuitive, you don't need too much programming knowledge to build dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is hard to find what you are looking for. The screen gets too crowded, I believe there should be a better way to organize things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for ticket management and to analyze ticket submissions. Also, we use different dashboards to see who is available in our app.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think it is an easy and intuitive way to build your custom business tool adapted to your needs.
Simple and fast way to create UIs
What do you like best about the product?
It has all the components needed to create a UI, both basic and advanced stuff. Also lots of customization options for each of these components.
What do you dislike about the product?
Exporting apps as static files and directly hosting them on our own
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can develop UIs much faster. We spend less time on developing UIs and more time on more features or more projects.
Super handy tool to quickly design any web app
What do you like best about the product?
There are a variety of data sources that can be used to integrate with the app. There are lots of visuals available that can be configured easily. Moreover, you can install this tool on your choice of Cloud.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be good if we can ad some programming components as well. Like a Python script.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are reading data from one data source, editing it on the UI & then saving it into target DB.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It can be used to quickly create a web app.
Powerful tool for all users!
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to quickly standup mini-apps to help our internal staff operate more efficiently. With Technical resources at a premium, the ability for a product manager to stand up to these apps has saved us money and time across the board.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes we are limited due to the in-bowser memory. Running some processes in bulk crashes the system so either it needs to be divided up into smaller runs or run through another application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We solve internal support problems and configuration. Allowing Retool to house apps to allow our staff to get to the information that may not have a UI wrapped around it or the ability to join multiple data sources together is key.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Identify a few apps you think you would use Retool for to start. Install a trial and just see how easy it is. The key with Retool is that you have to have the API's and database access and support to be successful.
Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
The diversity of drag and drop components and configurations offered for each covers almost all use cases.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's hard to achieve the desired visual layout with the mouse, but the keyboard backup for precise positioning is helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Internal tools for a non-technical media publishing team. No direct access to the database is needed. No separate web app codebase or server management.
Good tool/app
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to find the account and the transaction in question by having the download button available.
What do you dislike about the product?
None so far. The feedback is that I hope that Retool would like to have additional options in locating an account like CH first last name, email address, phone number, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
None at this time.
