Retool is an excellent, reasonably priced solution to a variety of helpful business tools.

What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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).
