Great Ideology, Growing Pains still around

The developere experience is clean and simple. It is difficult to do things that will break unexpectedly. Powerful yet intuitive. Nice. It's the future.

It's slow at times, and it's difficult to make faster. There have been some major bugs, and the stability and consistency of the feature set isn't quite where it needs to be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building internal tools, and helping launch external ventures. Benefits are the time to launch, the easy upskilling and intuitiveness. Most all relevant options are presented at the right times, in the right way.

I'd back this horse, be prepared to train with it for a couple years though.
Mindblowing, but sometimes quirky

Creating dashboards for internal use, to have data available at a glance.
Great low-code tool with a lots of customization options!

Excellent, user-friendly tool. A+ support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tough to get layouts to look just right.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are developing in-house tools that were previously outsourced to external developers. We've made great strides in being more flexible with our stakeholder requirements, improved functionality, and cost savings!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for people who have familiarity with coding but aren't full-fledged software engineers. The layout editor can be a bit finicky and takes a bit of getting used to, but the overall capabilities of the tool and their customer support are fantastic. It is highly recommended.
Overall excellent - a few minor warts
What do you like best about the product?
An excellent way to build internal tooling that's helped us get projects going very quickly. Semi-technical users can easily put together apps with data from multiple sources (e.g., PostgreSQL DBs and APIs).
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool's performance eventually becomes an issue with lots of users, and we've had the odd memory leak. It takes a minimal amount of ops time to look after it but infinitely worthwhile. You'll likely start in Retool, iterate, and then move into a fully formed application in the future (with scale).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've built a range of internal tooling that has eased concerns over data access thanks to Retool's auditing capabilities.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
* Set alarms on response times from your load balancer and the memory / CPU usage of the container.
* Upgrade regularly after testing in a staging environment.
* Upgrade regularly after testing in a staging environment.
No-brainer tool for building operations and admin tooling
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to create interfaces and sync data. Simple to create robust applications that are easy to use by internal stakeholders.
What do you dislike about the product?
Data loading can take a long time if your app is not built correctly (with pagination, etc.). Definitely needs more guidance around how to optimize apps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used Retool to build out interfaces for our admin tooling. We have several components of our platform we need to manage, including users, brands, products, etc. and we manage the data and day-to-day work with Retool apps. It has saved us significant development time as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Retool is great for building your back-end admin tooling fast, however as you need more custom use cases, it can be more difficult to bend Retool to your will.
