Make quick internal tools for power users
What do you like best about the product?
As a (mostly) backend engineer, I find Retool to be one of the best tools to quickly implement an internal tool that business users can use. I've never seen a similar tool before, and it blew my mind the first time I saw a demo! The best feature would be the easy switch between staging and prod environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since the initial learning curve is so low, your first Retools will be inefficient. Take the time and learn the Version Control features and how to debug queries.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool lets non-front-end people create functional websites.
Excellent tool for quick prototyping and productivity. Easy to use and highly customizable.
What do you like best about the product?
Retools is very easy to get started with, and at the same time, it is highly customisable, which makes it a very productive tool for creating a Proof of Concept (PoC) of any idea or overall to make any tool or experiment with ideas.
What do you dislike about the product?
There wasn't anything in particular that I disliked. Some things could have even additional functionality and flexibility points, but Retool is continuously working on the product/platform and improving it with more features and functionality, like the recent Retool Workflows which added a whole new dimension of possibilities!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Experimenting with software development can sometimes be a bit costly because there are frontend concerns, backend concerns, system architecture, infrastructure, technology-specific matters, etc. Retool provides a comprehensive, streamlined and customisable development environment to visually create ready-to-use proofs of concepts and products, focusing on productivity and functionality. This saves a lot of time, costs and risk and allows for better software and a much friendlier and more accessible way to a broader audience.
The perfect capture for Data!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that retool is easy to use to create whatever data capture tool you may need. Once its created the forms populate quick easily into a data table that is visible for all users.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that the Ui is not as friendly, but that is something that can be worked on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its solving us from using a data sheet to capture bonus for the end of the month, its also saving us from having to use just another google spread sheet.
Easy to use and fast!
What do you like best about the product?
It's straightforward, and I can instantly pull up a customer's device identification! I like that it doesn't consume much RAM and provides several features to adjust user permissions for every customer.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far! It's convenient and super fun to use!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Retool daily to pull up and track our customers' device data. It provides clear insights on workouts and the ability to modify user permissions. Retool makes those daily tasks very simple!
Developing internal tools has never been easier
What do you like best about the product?
The drag and drop UI components, easy to setup data connections, customizability just to name a few
What do you dislike about the product?
No real downsides. The product is excellent. We have not yet tested several aspects of the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Developing internal tools is a painful process. Retool has made this so much easier. We have increased the productivity of our ops and engineering team significantly.
Review Retool
What do you like best about the product?
The way data is organised in retool is great.. multiple queries, customisable queries etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its slow sometimes. I am not sure its due to internal or external dependency
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its a order management tool for us.. all backend activities are done here.
Best tool for getting an app out quickly
What do you like best about the product?
I wrote my API endpoints and I was able to quickly integrate with them and get a functional UI. This reduced development time by a lot and as a backend developer it made sure I could give something that was functional very quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation wasn't that great. Some examples in docs of how the raw javascript interacted with retool components would have been nice. The GCP integration is buggy, but I believe this is a known issue since there was a bug ticket.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps a developer get a product over the line without knowing much about front-end things and styling. I was about to complete my entire app in 3 days along with the tweaked javascripts.
Incredible tool gives superpowers to anyone with a basic understanding of JS or SQL
What do you like best about the product?
Enables me, a relatively nontechnical person (who just knows some SQL and JS), to build prototypes and flows that I would have formerly needed eng support for
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing I dislike. It's amazing! Really great
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps me build internal tools without having to pull in eng resources
Retool is a great option for folks looking to build internal tools without relying on engineers.
What do you like best about the product?
I really like that retool's foundation is SQL + javascript, makes it complex enough to use but easy enough to google ways to make it work.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think some of the javascript portions of the tool could be 'block coded' / off the shelf vs. having to be coded by users (or let users submit their own blocks).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool is bridging the gap between something like Zapier and trying to build our own internal tool from scratch.
Perfect/Quick way to create any type of app
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility to create whatever application our team needs. We have created apps for our finance, tech, product, and marketing teams without the need to involve our Engineering teams. It has many popular connectors and easy to use components.
What do you dislike about the product?
As of right now, there is not much I dislike about Retool. I think they can have a slightly better experience in the drag and drop builder, but overall everything works great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can move way faster than before. This is extremely important for a start-up that needs to grow quickly. It was also allowed us to keep dedicated Engineering bandwidth on our product, while the rest of the team can focus on building apps and processes in Retool.
