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.

It would be nice to have more integrations to other data sources

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

There are a bunch of resources to get started and the customer support team is very responsive.

Plato use cases of Retool
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to do Rest queries in tables with data pulled from various sources. It comes very handily to create operational dashboards
What do you dislike about the product?
Retool is breaking things often when they release. The tool is critical for our operations, and this results in complaints, but their support is very responsive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool helps have a very customized back office for both our core product and experiments. The engineering cost of an app is nothing; with a few minutes, we can build a great pull and play tool and share it internally.

Customer problems
Support Tools
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to write SQL queries and transform them with JavaScript
What do you dislike about the product?
It wasn't very easy to figure out how to grab text from input fields and pass them to a query.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using it to create a data dashboard for our team and to support our users.
Quickest way to set up a command and control for your business
What do you like best about the product?
Super powerful but super clear and guided: I could always find my way to controlling even the most complex, multi-database setups. And if I get stuck, their community is insanely helpful with both Retool support and other users on any arcane problem in minutes or a couple of hours at most. Even as an ex-developer there's a huge sense of just speed and accomplishment building powerful controls on your marketing, sales and product with quick drag and drop buttons and queries.
What do you dislike about the product?
Very much in love with it right now - hard for me to pick something I dislike. I guess it could use ways to collaborate with your team inside it - we use the Cord extension for that (admittedly biased!). But it's very neat, simple and powerful really.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've build our core customer tracking & control dashboard with it. It lets us quickly dive deep into 100,000's of customer records, see their realtime data and set settings on them that directly affect our DB, in a way no other system could because any other system would either be JUST a reviewing (no control) dashboard, or it would require tons of custom code.
