Excellent app for quickly getting things done
What do you like best about the product?
Love the flexibility to create lots of different apps. The integrations with all the different third parties is really helpful. In other tools I had to map out the APIs for third parties. In Retool, the API already existed with hundreds of endpoints and the variables already mapped out so it made integration really easy and quick.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having a development background, it would be better to have more tools orientated to development of the javascript code
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickly made small apps to solve simple business problems where they don't need full database access, but do need to update a few rows with some data, so we can restrict a db user to that and give them a functional user interfere to make it really simple and quick for them
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a go and you'll see how powerful and easy it is
Awesome! Best tool quickly create panels for internal teams
What do you like best about the product?
Its usability, very easy to drag and drop some UI elements and integrate with APIs or databases. Very easy to use for new developers or for those with less coding experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only complaint I feel is the role management. No options to restrict access to panels based on roles within the internal team. Also, there is no way to group certain panels by functionality or team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating panels for internal teams. It's so easy to use that even people with no coding experience are able to spin up tools for their own with minimal inputs from devs. Also easy to maintain with its version management system
Perfect tool for rapid development of Internal Tools
What do you like best about the product?
The various integrations, how easy it is to build new tools. The development is straightforward, and integration into Databases and other tools becomes very simple and can be done without the significant support of Software Engineers.
What do you dislike about the product?
The number of modules and queries become pretty hard to handle very quickly. It's missing features to help organize different elements of an application. Sutruuringing of modules and questions could be done better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Spending Engineering Resources on building internal management and Admin tools is a complex trade-off. Everyone knows it benefits internal processes in the long run, but it is harder to justify compared to customer requests and customer-facing features. So having a tool that significantly reduces the time required to build internal management and admin tools is a must-have. Retool is filling that perfectly.
Director, Power Dispatch
What do you like best about the product?
It's very intuitive and simply works perfectly right out of the box.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like it all. It would be nice to see a summary of things that don't match up or don't exist (from misspellings).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Interacting with Snowflake database data without having the end users needing to know SQL.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a software developer, stop using antiquated tools and sign up for Retool

I'm a huge skeptic of "low code" solutions, retool has made me reconsider this.
Perfect platform for startups rapidly building internal tools
What do you like best about the product?
Retool is an insanely fast tool for rapidly prototyping new applications and deploying into production environments. 95+% of the components required are available and immediately work out of the box with minimal onboarding. The development interface is very intuitive. As a developer I found myself rarely needing to refer to docs.
Any startup quickly building applications or large organization re-thinking back-office utilities should consider Retool. I rarely write reviews; this is one of those cases where I have been so impressed by a product that I am going out my way to share.

What do you dislike about the product?
Performance could be improved. It's not a blocker, but there is additional query overhead that requires tuning.
Applications are not as snappy as a fully custom solution, especially for repetitive tasks that require data loading, e.g. quickly flagging results in a table with a checkbox. For our usage, this is an easy trade-off for the speed of application development and low maintenance requirements.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to replace custom administrative tooling (React + Blueprint and Spring Boot) in a matter of days and quickly augment with new features. Development speed is easily 10x vs custom build.
An easy and fast backoffice builder tool
What do you like best about the product?
The number of integrations ready to be used to create a back-office panel. Salesofrce, AWS S3 and DynamodDb were the most useful for our use case.
We have tried a few of other services and they were not so easy to use.

What do you dislike about the product?
We would like some more flexibility in the elements personalization, but it's hopeful something that will come soon
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We managed to fastly and easily create a complete back-office for our platform.
Awesome tool!
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is really friendly. There's a learning curve but it's not too steep.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to have more integrations to other data sources
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a backup sql database where we need to get reports from. Retool easily integrates with it and I can create useful tools
The best product you can use in 2022
What do you like best about the product?
Setting up the UI is ridiculously easy. You can configure your sources and hook them up with the UI elements with little to no effort. What's especially useful is that you can see the preview of the data as you map it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I only dislike that I didn't start using Retool earlier!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool provides enough flexibility for me to design anything the business demands. The major benefit is that I don't need an engineer to make changes. Everyone can create their own experience that fits just them. You only expose the data.
Easy to use, full featured, great support
What do you like best about the product?
There are a bunch of resources to get started and the customer support team is very responsive.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's pricey for early-stage startups, but they do offer a startup package for free.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
building internal tools to allow account managers to create and update content.
