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.

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.

Highly recommended tool for easily building functional apps from prototypes.
What do you like best about the product?
Retool makes creating apps and dashboards incredibly straightforward by using both SQL and JavaScript in a single interface for building data-centric dashboards, making it accessible for both technical and non-technical users. Retool effectively bridges the gap between commercial and engineering teams. The Retool community is great as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to really complain about. Pricing and processes may be slow. There is also an excess of information on how to do certain things, and have to do a deep dive into the community to find answers. But honestly, these are not real complaints. G2 requires dislikes as a field, so I have to write something.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Rapid prototyping and building functional apps for everyone or individuals within the team to use.
