Save lot of time by using retool to develop your internal tools

  • January 24, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- Integrations! I was able to connect will all the databases we are using. Even the one provided by AWS (Dynamodb).

- Drag and dropping UI elements also make the developing tools faster.

- Awesome support.
What do you dislike about the product?
The free version has only editor mode so I have to move to a paid plan to get preview mode. But hey, I am nitpicking here.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had to execute some queries upon customer request, Like making profile verified, etc. So we had to develop internal tools. This is where retool comes in handy. It hardly took 20 minutes to implement these tools

Saved us a LOT of development time

  • January 20, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Retool allowed us to save a lot of development time. An "admin area" was on our roadmap and, after Retool, it was simply removed, because we were able to create every report that we need – and some basic actions like update or delete – directly from it's drag-and-drop interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
Retool will be extremely limited if don't have coding skills. And, for MongoDB users, queries often get pretty complex, so you often get confused and it creates a "please don't touch this input code" culture.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We generate reports (with charts) directly from Retool, connection our MongoDB database to it. This would be way more difficult with "habitual coding" and use development time that is already difficult to get as a small company.

Great tool for creating basic intra-company apps

  • January 19, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to start, you can build an app in hours. Familiar to React devs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Two people cannot work at the same app at the same time - this is understandable as there is no version control but it slows development a bit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building a internal data management tool. It speeds up development as there are no release cycles.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend using Retool for simple apps. For bigger, more complex app, coding an app from scratch might make more sense.

Applicable to a variety of use-cases

  • January 15, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
In every company I worked for there has been a constant need for the following: internal tooling, admin panels, freelancer portals, ops panels, the list goes on... These tools are often built quick & dirty and little to less attention is given to reusability. Tech stack for those (non-sexy) tools is often a personal taste of the developer who is tasked to build them which makes it even harder to maintain them. Retool brings a law & order to this space, with its a great selection of data sources and reusable components, building sensible tools is a breeze.
What do you dislike about the product?
Features targeting power users can be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We build our internal tooling around DS workflows admin panels.

Great tool, something I have been looking for for my whole life...

  • January 14, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- Quickly building frontends using existing data
- Supports JS almost everywhere
- Makes fun to build apps
- Quick iterations possible
What do you dislike about the product?
- sometimes still feels a bit buggy
- mobile layout not that good
- visual drag and drop a bit laggy
- editor frontend could be a bit more customisable, e.g. popout the left/bottom/right panels
- documentation could be a bit better
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Frontends for internal tools, connecting to existing database or APIs
- Previously only tech savvy users could do that by either working directly with the database (tables) or with REST APIs
- Now every business user can use frontend tools to accomplish certain tasks, freeing up time of the techies
--> without making the math, I'm sure we are saving money using Retool!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
go for it!

Saved us a TON of dev cycles - perfect solution for internal admin / analytics tools

  • January 12, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Dev cycle speed is fantastic - we can have our users submit a feature request / UX issue on our admin tools and have the change deployed in a few minutes. Saves a ton of time vs. running our own builds.
What do you dislike about the product?
UX is still a tiny bit clunky - the submit-query-requery cycle can be a bit sluggish, but overall totally fine and I'm confident it will improve as they mature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fully runs our internal admin & analytics tools. We query our DBs directly and it's super fast and easy to build.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You'll need someone who understands SQL and Javascript to get maximum value (eg a dev), but they'll be happy and satisfied with how easy it is to make changes & deploy. MUCH better than spinning up our own server /UI for an internal app.

it lets us pull and set data .also if we didn't implement the API.
fast and easy
What do you dislike about the product?
cannot set the brand color, in the components.
missing video and image gallery that was saving time to implement a support feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
a quick admin tool to update DB of our app.
upload files to S3 and get CDN URL.
support tool to view our customer's outputs.

Makes life easier

  • January 12, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Retool is a great resource to build quick internal tools that help us in all aspects of managing the operations (for customer success teams) as well as for quick validation and prototyping (for developers). We use Retool extensively at Airbase and have built tools of all levels of sophistication. It does make life easy!
What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation can be improved to provide more clarity
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are building various internal tools for different set of teams including sales, customer success, engineering and product. The tools help us in managing internal operations as well as testing/validating ideas for developers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It really does make life easier if you need to build simple tools and automate some of the tasks that are often required.

Great tool for internal dashboards and tools

  • January 12, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The UI is very simple and modern to use.. even though I'm not a front-end developer I was able to develop internal apps very easily. The support team is also responsive and there's a great community on the forum.
What do you dislike about the product?
We'll need more components on the UI or more examples on how to develop custom components. More flexibility with the tables would be good too.. but I understand that there's a trade-off there and each use-case is unique.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using Retool for internal operations, data entry, customer relationship management. CMS.
