Build dashboards and applications as easy as 1,2,3.
What do you like best about the product?
The power to build powerful applications with very little code. It's intuitive to use and with basic SQL you can do so many things.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has a bit of a learning curve with setting up all connections to your companies APIs or resources, and then the UI is a bit strange. They recently updated it and I feel like everything is in the wrong place (too cluttered and hard to find what you need).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a technical Product Manager with skills in SQL and Javascript i can build powerful internal tools that would take our engineer team longer to build. They can use that time for more valuable features.

- Awesome component library
- Easily extendable with custom components
- Great granularity in access control management
- Great documentation and support

What do you dislike about the product?
- A little bit pricey for medium/big companies
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my company, we use Retool mostly for internal tooling. It's common to have use cases which needs to connect with many REST APIs, which would be very hard to explain and teach how to use to non-technical people. With Retool, this is just a 2-3 hour work: we have an idea, we understand the needs, then create an app on Retool, connecting with our staging and production environments very easily.
Great low code solution for internal tools
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to create business processes with a visible front end and share it with stakeholders easily.
Implementation is quick as well as there is not need for excessive coding.

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.

A powerful low-code platform
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Retool is its flexibility and ease of use for building internal tools quickly. It allows you to connect to different databases and APIs effortlessly, saving time and reducing the need for custom development. The drag-and-drop interface is user-friendly, making it easy to create powerful applications without requiring deep technical skillls.
What do you dislike about the product?
One downside of Retool is its pricing, especially when it comes to adding new users to the account. In the past, I’ve faced challenges when trying to scale our team because the cost of adding users can be quite high. This makes it difficult for smaller teams or organizations with limited budgets to fully utilize the platform’s potential.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool is helping us by eliminating the need to develop new back-office front ends from scratch, which saves us a lot of time and resources. Additionally, we use Retool to automate some human workflows, which significantly reduces the chances of human error. This automation has improved our efficiency and allowed our team to focus on more strategic tasks rather than repetitive manual processes.
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
Very powerful tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Once you get a grasp of basic concepts it allows you to create pretty good software astonishingly quickly.
- The Embed feature allowed us to integrate Retool into our existing internal software. Replacing one screen at a time, we reached a state where 80% of our system is implemented in Retool and only the rest is proprietary and works nicely together.
- It reduced the time my team spent on internal tooling development dramatically, while improving the speed of delivery and response to change requests by an order of magnitude.
- Integration with our existing systems (Mongo DB, S3, ...) was a breeze.
- Responsive support, willing to help.

What do you dislike about the product?
The UX of code editing fields is sometimes a bit clunky, but nothing one can't get around.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Development of internal tools. It's dramatically faster to develop new features while flexible enough to meet our needs.
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
Retool has allowed us to build multiple apps for multiple different users with speed and ease.
What do you like best about the product?
It has allowed our development team to build quickly and with ease, for things which are not customer facing but impact the customer experience. Our whole team can use Retool as users, and our development team have been able to pick it up and build quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a bit laggy and glitchy on mobile, and when making updates to our records it doesn't always perfectly execute.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have one backend engineer whose time is precious therefore. Retool has allowed him to focus on features rather than infrastructure and design.
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
