What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve is steep, but the documentation is detailed. It took me a few tries before understanding how to use the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to create and work with a frontend has allowed me to share with stakeholders visually how to achieve key business processes.
A great tool for startups to quickly create internal tools to scale with
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to script almost anything within retool is really helpful. It means any business logic can be enforced within UIs or data handling without needing to necessarily involve engineers.
We can use REST and GraphQL calls as needed to quickly pull in the right data and quickly setup dashboards.
I use retool almost everyday.

What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a bit cumbersome at time with menus and trying to find how to configure certain add-ons to components.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Apply config in our product without having to build settings frontends.
2. Searching and reviewing transactional data without needing to jump into SQL queries.

Powerful UI tool for developers
What do you like best about the product?
Well designed both visually as well as technically. Intuitive design that makes sense to someone who is familiar with front-end development. Flexible enough to serve a wide range of needs, but rigid enough to ensure best practices.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's definitely a learning curve. Was super frustrating at first but after grinding through mistakes for a week, I got the hang of it and now I'm flying.
You can be non-technical but it's really helpful if you know how to code and understand front-end concepts.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Don't need a FE engineer to build something production ready
Amazing front end interface for SQL database
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to easily set up a SQL database as a resource, and set up a frontend CRUD app with little to no software development knowledge required. There has also been a vast amount of new features added in the past 2 years we've used the software, and their customer support and developer community are a great resource.
What do you dislike about the product?
Retool offeres Plotly for graphing solutions. As a means of presenting data, plotly covers the bare minimum and can be a hard module to work with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a small stand in resource to cover our start up before we could think about picking up an ERP system. Retool let us build custom apps that cover every need we have come across. Albeit the apps are not as fleshed out as an ERP system, they are customizable enough that we have been able to drop other software subscriptions that retool covers instead
Very Useful Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to spin up demos, prototypes, etc. As a backend engineer, my frontend skills are not the best, so retool is really useful for wrapping apis and DBs.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice if there was some vsCode integration or something. I find it's really easy to setup simple demos, but then once I want to make some bigger changes it gets a bit cumbersome, compared to how I would change code in a vsCode project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using retool for demos, and internal applications. It increases are speed of development, because we don't have to worry about spinning up frontend infra. The DB tool is useful, and all the resource integrations are really easy to use
Game changer
What do you like best about the product?
I love how I as a product manager am able to ship internal tools end to end with minimal dependancy on the rest of my team. This is a total game changer as the rest of the team is able to work on high impact user facing value and I can help to cover the internal usecases - which I also understand better than them anyway.
What do you dislike about the product?
The worst thing about Retool is the fact it often leads to a lot of additional tech realestate which if not managed carefully can lead to tech debt.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool makes shiping internal tooling 100x faster and less annoying. Ultimately this translates to higher productivity of our teams.
Stellar internal tool to build and manage a myriad of applications through Low Code Interface
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, speed of deployment, number of integrations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Latency, late 90s style of default design, recommendation engine to leverage the best of retool in our apps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Retool to build user interfaces for internal tools.
Connect to multiple databases to cover data input.
Enable user input for our custom AI models.
Allow convenient data upload to multiple storage providers.

What do you dislike about the product?
Dont have versioning on public links.
A branching feature would also be nice, right now its just latest and the changes before but all on branch.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working in the data department colaborating with tech to create internal tools used to take very long. We are now able to spin up POCs in a few days where it would take months with tech and our own dev stack. New features are added in a week rather than months. IT saves us soo much time in development.
