Best tool to test, ship and evolve new ideas (especially with AI)
What do you like best about the product?
I often use Retool to develop working prototypes or new stand-alone features to easily integrate in our product. This approach accelerated testing of new functionalities, improved the feedback loop, and allowed for rapid iteration on prototypes. I think is the best tool to test and release new ideas (especially with AI).
What do you dislike about the product?
UI customization often requires to write custom CSS
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can ship much faster because we can use developers' time on core features while saving time on stand-alone features
Simple to use, fast to iterate
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity of building out internal applications for the team or external prototypes to prove a solution without the need to scaffold a react or svelte application.
The time it takes to build applications are 1/10th of how I used to build applications.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are some limitations around the UX/UI that you wont have in your application in React and there are somewhat limited integrations against GCP.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most of the time its very easy to build out business process layers in retool using workflows to enable the business to build out the services and the data layers they need, then integrate it to retool to build out the business process layers.
The simplicity of managing these layers for non engineers are stunning and can create both frontends to manage it or manage it through simple changes in code and workflows.

I don't think the value of Retool can be overstated
What do you like best about the product?
We can VERY quickly prototype product ideas, prove concepts, deploy tailored internal tools, and build custom integrations between disparate systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the documentation for self-hosted implementation was a little lackluster and disjointed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're now able to marry our operational systems (sales, support, account management, etc.) and myriad data sources from every corner of our ecosystem. AND build bespoke automations that save countless hours of clerical work, and let our folks focus on far more important things.
High quality guaranteed, simple and effective.
What do you like best about the product?
I found retool thanks to a friend of mine. I wasn't so enthusiastic to use it, because I'm a techie, but I must say that it saved souch time in my work life! I started a business an year ago and I use it every day. Just a few hours and I have most of the features I need. Cost effective, simple, well designed, very valuable for startups!
Thanks, you did a great job!
Thanks, you did a great job!
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe a missing startup program. But actually I don't know if exists honestly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm managing my user's tickets on demand operations. I manage also my website layout and environment toggle feature.
Perfect low-code solution for internal tooling and external apps!
What do you like best about the product?
Too many things to choose from!
But as a Retool user since 2020, I have to say that the best thing about Retool is its regular feature updates. I've seen many low-code solutions that stay almost stagnant in their features, and Retool brings in valuable new features all the time that help uplevel our user experience.

What do you dislike about the product?
Can't think of much! Retool is built in such a way that if there was something that isn't possible out of the box, there are still options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The primary problem its solving is allowing for speedy app building, particularly from less technical builders.
Really an intuitive product!
What do you like best about the product?
It has greatly help improve our team's productivity. It is simple staright forward and prototyping is never faster and easier. It has also reduced the overhead for spinning up the apps.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing could be better and cannot use to build complex applications. Integration to our custom components which we build could be made little straight forward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were usign to buildp prototypes for some of our applications. Prototypes were taking time, but using Retool we were faster and it was svaing a lot of time, We were able to get feedback quickly and on the fly in some meetings we were able to fix some comments and show the updated version.
Simplicity and Focus
What do you like best about the product?
I love that retool is such an evergreen tool. We use it for so many different operations here and basically takes the trouble out of crazy calculations that we could never do manually.
What do you dislike about the product?
I just wish it was more intuitive and easier for people to figure out how to manipulate for their specific needs and the steps needed to get there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool currently helps us generate a schedule of projected revenue over terms of our agreements and matches the revenue to the specific assets that are bringing it in. We're able to accurately show our customers data on their own products and that strengthens our relationship with them.
I am so happy to use retool because of user experinence is super.
What do you like best about the product?
We are using lots of retool sites during day operations and response is faster, more effective, and saving the operation time.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's easy to upload and create the label. So far my user experience is good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can easily find out customer information using filter.
Retool allowed growth for both me and my company
What do you like best about the product?
Being a low-code tool, it was easy for me to start using it as a non-technical employee. It has allowed me to build over 50+ tools, dashboards, and prototypes, used daily by users, in significantly less time than other alternative solutions. It also offered me great customization options to make sure apps not only work but also look great. Overall, this is a wonderful tool for prototyping or automating pieces of work.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is easy that a 'prototype' will be good enough for users, that it would remain as a production product. It is important not to forget about the bigger picture and ensure that all production solutions are aligned with other company standards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool is allowing us to build custom ways to see data not available in mainstream BI tools. For example when looking at a weather event and how would that impact customers, sometimes selecting countries, cities from a dropdown is not a great way to do it, as human-made borders don't necessarily align with weather events. Retool allowed us to create a custom HTML component that would use a map as a reference to select a number of affected users and query all relevant information needed for the business to action, greatly reducing the time needed to do this task while increasing accuracy of potentially affected users.
Additionally Retool is allowing the study and testing of Proof of Concept ideas, making quick developments to test if an idea works before investing talent time and company resources on some untested idea. This is specially relevant with Retool's integrated AI features, and the potential unexplored use-cases of this technology.

Developer and user of Retool
What do you like best about the product?
The availability of tools or resources for quickly creating applications with connections to other data sources. Ease of Use, Ease of Implementation, good Customer Support, Frequency of Use, very Ease of Integration
What do you dislike about the product?
Developers feel limited in their ability to customize components fully to meet specific needs, needs more number of Features
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Traditional application development can be time-consuming, requiring extensive coding and design work.
Heavy reliance on IT or development teams can create bottlenecks in the application development process.
Creating prototypes can be a slow process, delaying feedback and testing.
