Retool Revolutionized How We Utilize Data
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy implementation of applications, especially for people who have not built apps before. It was extremely easy to get started and the help from the forums is quick and easily accessible if you get stuck. Also, the integrations with our other systems (Salesforce and Databricks) were easy to implement saving us time. The acceptance of the app has been easy on our daily users of the app and the frequent releases of features make the development exciting.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I hope gets better is the implementation of requested features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem we face is the continuous use of Excel for business processes. Retool has helped us build a new platform where collaboration and data management are a breeze.
Best tool for fast interactive internal tools.
What do you like best about the product?
What I love most about Retool is its incredible flexibility and speed in building custom interactive tools. The platform allows us to bring together APIs, databases, and even AI agents seamlessly, letting us create interactive, dynamic KPI that are tailored precisely to stakeholder needs. The ability to write and execute Python, JavaScript, and SQL directly within the platform gives us control over everything, from data processing to creating unique visual components. It’s a powerful, all-in-one solution that accelerates development and has become essential for our operations.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main downside is the learning curve—Retool can feel a bit overwhelming for team members without coding experience. Advanced customizations sometimes need extra support or technical know-how, which can slow down non-developers. But once you get it, is easy for any implementation you need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool is helping us build a fully interactive dashboard that pulls data from multiple sources, all in one place. By connecting APIs and integrating AI agents, we’re able to get real-time data, fast insights, and summaries that make decision making smoother. This setup has been a game changer, saving us tons of time and allowing our team to interact with the data directly, no need for jumping between tools or manual data updates.
A User-Friendly Solution for Fast, Branded Internal Tools
What do you like best about the product?
Retool is a powerful tool that stands out for its user-friendly interface and minimal need for front-end involvement, making it especially useful for projects with limited development capacity. The ability to customize themes to fit branding is a huge plus, adding a polished, on-brand feel to applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
On the downside, as a designer, there are a few areas for improvement, like reducing the number of clicks needed to reach certain goals and offering a broader selection of fonts. Despite these minor points, Retool's strengths keep it as a top choice for building internal tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool addresses the challenge of building internal tools quickly and efficiently without relying heavily on front-end development. With its drag-and-drop interface, Retool makes app creation accessible to non-technical team members, which means faster turnaround times and more agility in tackling project needs. This is especially helpful when resources are limited, allowing designers and product teams to prototype, iterate, and deploy tools without waiting on development cycles. For me, Retool offers a way to bring ideas to life quickly, customize them to reflect our brand, and focus on the user experience without getting bogged down by technical dependencies.

We use it to do interest calculations, send statement of accounts and handling customer queries. Customer Support is fast and agile, and using it is a breeze for operations managers.
