Great low code solution for internal tools
What do you like best about the product?
Retool has made it incredibly easy for our team to build tools that integrate seamlessly with our API. Even our product team members, who don't have a technical background, can create powerful tools with minimal effort. The platform is both powerful and highly customizable, allowing us to tailor solutions to our specific needs. It's a game-changer for internal operations. Highly recommended for teams looking to empower non-technical users to build and manage their own applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of support for branches complicates the release process. Managing different versions and deploying updates can be challenging without proper version control, which limits flexibility and adds risks to production changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building internal tools without needing extensive coding knowledge. It allows our non-technical teams, especially in product, to create custom tools that integrate directly with our API. This significantly reduces the dependency on developers for creating and maintaining internal tools. The benefit is a faster turnaround for internal tool development, enabling more autonomy for our teams and freeing up developer time for more complex tasks
Nice tool to build internal tools with or without interface
What do you like best about the product?
Workflows
Easy drag-and-drop experience to build interfaces

Less effort development prototypes and tooling for internal teams
Game changer
What do you like best about the product?
I love how I as a product manager am able to ship internal tools end to end with minimal dependancy on the rest of my team. This is a total game changer as the rest of the team is able to work on high impact user facing value and I can help to cover the internal usecases - which I also understand better than them anyway.
What do you dislike about the product?
The worst thing about Retool is the fact it often leads to a lot of additional tech realestate which if not managed carefully can lead to tech debt.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool makes shiping internal tooling 100x faster and less annoying. Ultimately this translates to higher productivity of our teams.
Streamlining API Integrations with Retool: A Developer's Perspective
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite part about using Retool is how seamlessly it allows us to consume services from different APIs and tools. The built-in integrations significantly speed up the development process, making it incredibly efficient to build and deploy applications. Additionally, I really enjoy the GitHub integration, which simplifies version control and collaboration, and the fact that I don’t have to worry about hosting the application on my own servers is a huge plus.
What do you dislike about the product?
While I generally have a positive experience with Retool, one area for improvement could be the customization options for the UI components. Although the built-in components are robust, having more flexibility in styling and layout customization would enhance the user experience and allow for a more tailored interface to meet specific project needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool is solving the challenge of building and maintaining a complex back-office application that needs to interface with multiple APIs and databases. By providing a platform with pre-built components and seamless API integrations, Retool allows us to quickly develop and iterate on our back-office tools. This application is used daily by tens of employees, and the speed at which we can roll out updates and new features is crucial to maintaining our operational efficiency. Retool’s flexibility and ease of use have significantly reduced the development time and effort required, allowing us to focus more on refining the functionality and improving the user experience for our team.
Retool makes you a 10x develeoper
What do you like best about the product?
The iteration speed when building an app is what I like most with retool.
I build a first draft instead of writing a product specification, then the users test it and I can instantly modify or rebuild it the way the user prefers.

What do you dislike about the product?
That there is no way of separating creators and end users in a good way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool is solving a lot of lower priority feature requests which are cruital for the organization but that the tech team cannot work on right now.
Intuitive and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Intuitive, easy to pick up, good UI for beginners
What do you dislike about the product?
Need to Code is JavaScript which is a downside for users with no programming knowledge to learn
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CRMs and authorization and other reports.
Stellar internal tool to build and manage a myriad of applications through Low Code Interface
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, speed of deployment, number of integrations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Latency, late 90s style of default design, recommendation engine to leverage the best of retool in our apps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Retool to build user interfaces for internal tools.
Connect to multiple databases to cover data input.
Enable user input for our custom AI models.
Allow convenient data upload to multiple storage providers.

A very convenient tool
What do you like best about the product?
It makes the process of building internal data management tools incredibly easy, and lets us offload tasks to our customer support and account management teams with very little friction.
What do you dislike about the product?
Viewing the internal functionality of an app isn't the most intuitive process, especially if it's an app somebody else has built so you have no familiarity with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The need to create small and simple tools and dashboards that non-technical people in the organization can use to access data and account management functionality.
Great tool for iteratively creating back-office tooling with high velocity.
What do you like best about the product?
It's quite intuitive to use and has great in integreation with Postgres (and other DBs and APIs). The speed of development and iteration is also great - it helps out team to build the right sollution for our stakeholders.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice if there was a batch download for all apps to keep a searchable backup but to do so all apps would need to opt into the GibHub flow which is not an option for us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- quickly creating applications for our internal teams
- helping BE devs to create nice looking, well usable interfaces

Amazing software to quickly build internal tools.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, and very intuitive. Building features for Internal tools went from months to weeks.
Wide availability of connectors so its very easy to integrate with our databases or backend.
Version differnce viewer well done.
Versioning and roll back is also very smooth.
Intorduction of websocket for colaborative editing done very well.

What do you dislike about the product?
Dont have versioning on public links.
A branching feature would also be nice, right now its just latest and the changes before but all on branch.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working in the data department colaborating with tech to create internal tools used to take very long. We are now able to spin up POCs in a few days where it would take months with tech and our own dev stack. New features are added in a week rather than months. IT saves us soo much time in development.
