Fantastic tool for internal support tooling, we should have implemented this years ago
What do you like best about the product?
Super quick to get set up - I was able to build a complex support application (with proper logic) within an hour of clicking "Sign up."
We tried the new self-service on-premise option; again, this was very quick to get set up. I had a PoC running on my infrastructure within an hour and could productionize it within a day.

What do you dislike about the product?
No major downsides to be honest. It'd be great if some of their complex, premium features could be toggled on/off in a self-service manner.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Support staff (both technical and non-technical) can self-service a broad range of new ticket types without escalating. This has significantly reduced our support workload.
Typically we'd have solved these problems with scripts & internal tools, which take c. 1w to produce (vs 1-2h with retool).

Best way to build internal workflows! easy, flexible and gives us full visibility on our customers
What do you like best about the product?
It's fast.
Features that could have taken days, consume expensive engineering work are now super fast and straightforward.

What do you dislike about the product?
Well, it's weird to say that, but -- The pricing! I believe you can charge more for this product. You are saving companies thousands of $ per month, so $10 per user is underpriced the way I see it.
Few other things, it will be cool if you could give an option to only load queries when view is visible. so that the app will load faster

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Admin, manage customer accounts, configure DB for customers, etc..
I've realized Retool helps me focus on my product and, as a startup - move much faster.
Before retool, I was building API and a Postman request for everything, which isn't friendly for no coders, nor is it a fast solution.

Retool is incredible for fast product prototyping
What do you like best about the product?
Retool connects to all our databases and microservices in a couple of clicks, and does CRUD out of the box. As a UX engineer, this is critical to me as I can just design workflows that actively pull and push data through our databases. In just a couple of hours I'll have a working prototype of a new tool to share with our collaborators. The high-value prototypes I'll build into a real web app, but Retool works so well that usually, I won't need to.
What do you dislike about the product?
Retool is kind of ugly for production apps, but that's to be expected from a prototyping app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool has helped us build quick prototypes that can access different sources of data and produce new insights. These prototypes take a couple of hours to build, since we only need to focus on the business logic, not the UI.
Every Company Should have this!!
What do you like best about the product?
Its a great tool to have It can hold a lot of useful information, has many usefull intergrated folders that you can create to help all employees with there day to day work task.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far everthing so far is good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I love the password reste tool, Hitch Mangement tools and just looking up Drivers Information
Very nice tool to make admin panels with maximum easy plus amazing functionality
What do you like best about the product?
The simple way to make UI, yet powerful in connecting to various services and APIs. The JavaScript queries add nice functionality to the page and are amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Better Staging environment could have been provided. Current one is pretty difficult to understand. I would like that a completely disconnected staging env be provided to the developers and any change done there does not affect prod.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I make admin panels for the eCommerce company I am working with. They handle lotssss of stuff using retool panels.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please learn the features well before you get started. There are lots of things you could utilise and knowing them will definitely help. Explore all 3 panels, the bottom, left and right and understand the powers they give you.
Easy to use | very flexible and versatile
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to prototype very fast makes the tool very valuable for our company. Our IT-resources are limited and if someone from operations or marketing can design their own tools, the IT only has to connect the tools between databases or frontends.
What do you dislike about the product?
The editing feature has not the best performance. Multiselection doesn't work or takes a long time.
Another point is that there are not many options to upload pictures. Currently only via URL, a storage for pictures would be very nice.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We created a tool for our operations department. They can now edit customers much faster than in one of these "one-for-all" business softwares.
We are much faster end we can automate a lot of easy tasks. Its much moreclear for the user and very individually.
Another tool that we created is an access point for our databases. We have a well designed tool to edit everything, before that we used Excel.
There will be a lot more tools to come that will help us to improve our processes and save a lot of money.

Want to make something super quick ? Retool is for you.
What do you like best about the product?
1. I like the ability to quickly drop a few components and link my APIs to get the desired result. I was so excited when I made my first app and shared it with my team, and it got used extensively.
2. Utilizing data from one component to another is a delight.
3. How easy it is for someone with basic tech knowledge to integrate the Database and APIs and start building the apps.

What do you dislike about the product?
I feel there's room to improve the UX of components interaction. The resizing and adjustment are not smooth sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. It helps me make something that is not part of our product, but it's an ad-hoc requirement for my team, and we don't want to spend tech bandwidth in building that.
2. Retool helps quickly build the MVP, and then based on usage, we include it in our product roadmap.
3. A lot of scripts which were used by solution engineer has been put on retool for general team memeber to access and use, that automated a lot of things internally.

It's easy, to show data, and build small tools for customer team. I create a tooling for fix any problem fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI, I have a big disThe user interface, I have a large screen even so I have to be hiding panels or changing sizes. In edit mode, the panel to create the queries is very small and you have to be scrolling a lot.play

Build tooling for support. And data visualitation or explore.
Retool is helpful in quickly creating usable tools
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity, interface & integration with various services
What do you dislike about the product?
There seem to be some issues around the UI, like a sidebar opens up on clicking variables with details of all variables used, but there is no option to close it. Have to refresh the whole page. Also, some times placing the component works weirdly, like we can't resize after specific size, or can fit many components in a single view
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are generating reports, having some quick utils.
Beneficial in creating quick reports without a new project for reports. Can make quick tools without much efforts on the UI side

Fast and easy to kickstart, scale and automate your processes
What do you like best about the product?
Awesome and easy to configure, anyone with basic knowledge or foundations in CS can use it, but also it is a really useful framework for anyone at the company to create and design tools for processes. Also I like a lot the fast response Retool has in retool community, I find the community really helpful and I hope it continues to grow.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can be slow, when uploading the retools.And also I think it would be helpful to have more tutorials on integrations with Stripe, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Standardize all processes and make changes fast enough to make more efficient and autonomous processes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
To involve all the team at first in how retool works so anyone can understand the capabilities of the tools it can be built.
