The ultimate versatile platform for in-house data based apps
What do you like best about the product?
As a software developer, I really like the immediate availability of all the building blocks of a full fledged app - database, file storage, interfaces, etc. Also the ease with which the interface components connect to the backend resources is such a breeze! Most or maybe even all the standard use cases for displaying data can be implemented in just a few minutes. I was able to set up all the data infrastructure and UI for a bike business, including tracking repairs, rentals, bike tours, and inventory in just a couple of days.
What do you dislike about the product?
The highly opinionated nature of the platform can be a limitation at times, but there is always a workaround.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was looking for a solution for a small business (bike shop) that included a number of interrelated and complex areas of activity - rentals, repairs, purchases, sales, and inventory. The only kind of existing software that could satisfactorily solve all those things would be enterprise packages that are very expensive and unwieldy for a small business.
the easy way of success
What do you like best about the product?
it's the most easy to use easy integration with easy of implementation tools and various resources
What do you dislike about the product?
i think the ai prompting to make a workflow need some work, and it would be great if there is a prompt to build an application from zero to at least 80% on ( creat a new app)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
cut time on building projects and it's so easy for non-technical like me

What do you dislike about the product?
As it has lots of features sometime it is difficult to have the idea of all features immediately. For example i didn't knew that i can write python code in the workflow and run it using a different input feature as workflow and display it in the ui for user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As retool is efficient to build the interactive dashboards it helps in displaying the complex table data and api response in proper and well created UI. It all handles the data and user to customize the errors and data restrictions can be set by user.
Upto what extent data should be displayed. Different functions can be written to handle google sheets and run python code for understanding the user requirements.
For me it resolved the problem of complex data to display easily and in dynamic way.

The Customer Support has been very responsive and helpful. The functionality provides an easier interface to create useful tools while still providing lots of customization for more complicated features and workflows.

I haven't run into many issues with Retool. The documentation could be a little bit better explaining some aspects of JS code. It would be nice to have the option to do more in Python since I know that better, however, that may be a more personal request rather than a widespread help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing a business tool that is able to be distributed easily (with just a link).

Review from Major Beauty Retailer for the use in Digital Commerce Area

Retool excels in quick development of handy tools and applications that are needed for Internal usecases. We have developed for a lot of use cases in Operations where it is very difficult to plan and build tools.

I find a lack of options in terms of integrating with Google Cloud products than on AWS. Also would be gr8 to have native capabilities to execute Kubectl commands against GKE resources
