Amazing no code tool
What do you like best about the product?
Retool is a powerful combination of ease of use and flexibility. It allows you to quickly build and deploy complex internal tools using a drag-and-drop interface while also offering the ability to write custom code when needed. This balance between no-code simplicity and developer-friendly customization makes Retool incredibly versatile for a wide range of use cases.
What do you dislike about the product?
Retool is awesome, but when your app grows, it can feel like untangling Christmas lights—still doable, but a bit of a headache. And the pricing? Let’s just say your wallet might need a pep talk.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool is like a superhero for building internal tools—it saves you from drowning in custom code. Instead of spending weeks on development, you can whip up a fully functional app in hours. It’s solving the problem of slow, resource-heavy internal app development, which means we get to focus on actually solving business problems rather than wrestling with endless lines of code.

Easy to Use
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Retool for our company for a little over 1.5 years, and I think it's hands-down the best application to use when trying to build no-code or low-code tools for internal use. We've been able to bring about a large amount of tools for our various platforms, and have also had a really easy time with setting up the integrations with our platforms. The implementation process was simple and precise, and Retool has become the system that our team uses tools from daily.

The only downside being the 2 minute query timeout when running larger queries, and the interface can be a little confusing to start off with.

Allowing delegation of reporting tasks to other teams, and the creation of dashboard, or automated data processes.
Excellent platform to develop quick prototypes, competitive pricing and features makes it preferable

I love the fact that they are continuously adding new features and solutions that allows us to implement not only the frontend but also the backend of custom web applications with so much ease. Additionally, it is quite well integrated with most of the industry's preferred platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is still not ready to be used beyond prototyping stage or when there is a need to fully scale the infra for heavier loads. Additionally, the ability to add custom packages and import code in popular langauges such as python is missing, although there are ways around provided to get the job done at the least.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is allowing us to develop internal web applications and deploy with minimum time. Also, bug fixing is quite easy.
