great tool for modifications and organization of same data
What do you like best about the product?
it is a good sorting software of some data and data that is duplicate. it is built in a way that it is linked to different catalogs and this makes it easy to find data and it has a large storage capacity.
What do you dislike about the product?
it is slow and fequently times out the session and this makes it boring. for a first time user, it is not easy to use as it it is a bit complicated, so I can say flexibility and functionality is kinda a problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
issues of finding POS codes, UUID of products we are selling and knowing thei status are being addresses by retool. issues of intergartion have been adresses by retool as such also serving time in data capturing and organization.
Helpful all in one
What do you like best about the product?
Retool combines a lot of backend areas into one resource to easily get to the information I need while clicking through sections of a single website as opposed to going between a bunch of tabs.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it included more features but that may be something that is actually due to my company not having built certain things out to sync up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Combined multiple sections into one dashboard
Retool helps us speeding up building internal tools and demos
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to get started, rich set of widgets to start. Support a variety of databases. (Postgres, MySQL, TiDB, etc)
What do you dislike about the product?
I like it in general. Not too many complaints.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Time to build the tool.
A great tool that requires some technical knowledge
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it easily displays real-time data from a connected database. It seems very intuitive so far and has really sped up my workflow. I have little experience with other no-code tools, but for dashboards and visualisations, this one does the job
What do you dislike about the product?
If you do not have some prior technical knowledge, you will struggle. It is a big step up from Zapier and Data Studio. You'll need a dev team to create the integrations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to have custom dashboards that displayed real-time data for unique teams and users. We had a system in place where the data analyst was the bottleneck, retool has resolved this issue.
Code-less Internal Dashboards
What do you like best about the product?
Retool makes it easy for users to quickly prototype and iterate on tools, and the wide range of integrations with other software and services (such as databases, rest APIs) etc. makes it very easy to use.
Love that you can load OpenAPI definitions and they just work

What do you dislike about the product?
Would be nice to be able to export a retool app into a native software package, or to have some buttons to deploy code on our own infrastructure without needing to roll out the full on prem solution
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building internal / support dashboards that would normally require full tech stacks and UI kits to achieve the same thing. Has saved us a lot of time when shipping in house solutions.
Retool
What do you like best about the product?
Customisation and UI components, JSON query, API query.
What do you dislike about the product?
Integrating js would be a little complex. It takes some to get hold of the tool. Please include more examples in the Doc
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enhance to improve the MIS reports
Very easy to build without code!
What do you like best about the product?
Simple and intuitive to use, anyone can build an app within Retool with no coding required!
What do you dislike about the product?
Can get quite slow and laggy depending on what features you're using
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've been able to save thousands of dollars by using Retool to help us build vs. buying a 3rd party software for each indivudla issue
A little intimidating at first but impressed with development speed
What do you like best about the product?
Was able to create an admin interface very fast. Developer friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Didn't find a clear documentation on how to achieve certain things (filtering some data before sending it to server, the possibility to use lodash in js expressions) - resorted to google search to find that out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Build internal company tools without code.
Get more value from your data in less time. Simples.
What do you like best about the product?
We had a react web-app, served from an express-js server, pulling from a mongoDB (in the cloud). With ReTool, in less than two hours I rebuilt the core functionality of the web-app, allowing us to bin off the old one and the old server. I added features that have been on my "to-do" list for ages but have not had dev time for. It's a winner. I've already got my next 5 ReTool app ideas lined up!
What do you dislike about the product?
It's got limits on the number of users that can view/interact with your web-app, which for our use case means it's not well suited (we serve many low-value customers rather than a few high-value ones). But, as an internal tool for company use, it's great.
Oh, and if you need it to be super pretty, I don't think it's for you. I'm sure it could probably be done, but its focus seems to be on utility first (which suits me fine).

1) stopping paying to manage infra that I don't need or want.
Using ReTool has allowed us to replace an internal tool for managing user-access to our mobile-app. The big 'win' here is that on-going dev-time is now zero for this tool. ReTool handle it's upkeep. We built it, but don't have to worry about keeping the server up, or managing library updates, or other such things. My only future dev spend will be to add more features - which is exactly where I want my spend to be.
2) getting to *information* quicker
We have weekly KPIs that are drawn from multiple data sources (analytics, stripe, our mongoDB). Previously we had to spend time in each to fetch the data we needed for those KPIs. ReTool does the manual fetching for me now, so I can spend more time responding to those KPIs

It has speeded up the development of some internal webapps for the digitization of even procedures

Retool is a dashboard for the development of crud internal apps, it uses many sources including db, google sheet and more it is quite intuitive but it is equipped with a help done well and a good community
