there is no specific feature in particular that i donot like about. may be more refined UX .

constant data lookup is made easy by retool .
Powerful, flexible and reasonably easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
It has provided me the functionality I needed to create a small photo asset management database to assist with web site product sales without a huge price tag of database software. I've found it very flexible and powerful with a large number of integrations and options needed. The forums are very helpful and the documention is also good.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is sometimes difficult to get the code and scripting correct for what I am needing, but this is likely more due to my lack of knowledge than the platform. Some parts of the UI (mainly arround the modal and home areas) I have found a little confusing and could possibly be made simpler.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Photo asset management - tag and description management mainly. This is to prepare the images for sale in a Shopify storefront.
Best NoCode Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Easiness of use + learning curve
I was able to create a quick admin panel to edit user profiles within less than 1 hour
Also it was supereasy and intuitive to connect with my DB or APIs.

What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of tutorials + Onboarding
If you are a first user you do not get to know how to use it or the differences between the product, it took me the same to understand Retool capabilities than creating the first app copying from an existing one

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Internal admin and control tools
We have only a backend developer and to fasten everything related to managing the DB or interacting with it we needed a No-Code tool, using APIs direclty is not a thing for everyone.

Excellent Way to build internal apps quickly
What do you like best about the product?
Retool provides a way to quickly spin up a basic UI, connecting to back end servers and common integrations like postgres and Stripe easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
The workflow for releasing new versions of an app is confusing and collaborating on an app is a little fraught and apt to cause collisions and confusion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use retool to build and support internal tools, like dashboards, operations, and customer experience workflows, without having to devote dev. time towards customer UI development.
Definitely the best best of low code solutions
What do you like best about the product?
I like the transparent integration between code and UI (actually writing and seeing the code). Retool is by far the best and quickest way to create simple CRUD webapps. I really enjoy workflows as well. I like how you can define resources, and use them throughout the app. It seems all of the authentication types are supported really good (haven't ran into an issue once). Retool offers the fastest way to implament new apps of all of the other low code solutions. I haven't yet had to communicate to customer support, but from what I have learned from a collegue, customer support is awesome, they don't only help with predifined answers, but actually listen to suggestions and make corrections in the system based on user needs. Integration with other tools is easy, because of resources feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
1. Error logging is a bit lacking compared to writing app by code (still a lot better than all other low code solutions)
2. Apps can get a bit slow when loading loads of data
3. Code suggestions sometimes not working properly
4. It sometimes forces you to write unreadable code by design, because you have to write it in one line
5. I miss passing parameters to between functions and queries, I had to find a few workarounds to make some edge case solutions work
6. Workflows - missing looping over multiple blocks
