Great tool for automation of tasks and enablement of staff
What do you like best about the product?
Retool has enabled staff to self serve, is easy to use, and has some good automation features.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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
What do you like best about the product?
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.
Senior Software Engineer
What do you like best about the product?
- Drag and drop interface, I don't need to deal much things with the UI. The default UI is good enough.
- Mobile supported.
- Version control, we can easy publish/rollback version.

What do you dislike about the product?
- I think it is harder to customize when you want to have a complex UI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using retool for internal app for internal users.
Fast and Reliable way to build internal tools
What do you like best about the product?
It's very simple and easy to use. Everything is just drag and drop with a little Javascript and you will have your app running. Retool saved us a lot effort building our internal tools, simply focus on our business logic and Retool will handle the UI. We have automated a lot of internal tasks with the help of Retool.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's a bit hard to debug from the software engineer point of view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool helps us automate the process of managing the orders in our fulfillment process. We also use Retool to build several dashboards as the internal interface for the warehouse operators to interact with underlying physical machines in our warehouse.
Retool is an excelent tool to create flexible dashboards
What do you like best about the product?
I like the flexibility of the platform, as it allows you to fetch data from a wide variety of sources and manipulate the results on the fly using JS. I also like the flexibility of the graphs that one can build, as retool exposes the pyplot API that gives you further flexibility when it comes to the kinds of graphs you can make.
What do you dislike about the product?
I personally think that Retool should add support for more data sources that are still missing, or give the ability to add custom sources by setting up calls via a client (such as a JS or Python client) with the appropriate drivers. This is an actual bottleneck to using the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem that Retool solves for me is being able to put together dashboards that empower our stakeholders to make data driven decisions. It is a platform where development is fast and deployment of changes is trivial, making iteration really easy.
Its a great app for quickly automatically tasks
What do you like best about the product?
Having the ability to have standalone apps that can be quicly setup and modified
What do you dislike about the product?
I cant think of anything. Maybe just the fact that theres a dependency on third party app
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its helping save time in setting up apps quickly
The only tool builder for internal uses that you should look for
What do you like best about the product?
Retool is a great tool for quickly building internal apps. It's really easy to use, and the version control feature is super handy for keeping everything organized. Plus, it has pretty much everything you need to get the job done.
What do you dislike about the product?
Retool has a few downsides to keep in mind. Debugging, especially for scripts, can be pretty tricky. The "Preview" button actually triggers the function, which can lead to unattended requests—something that’s not clear just from the name "preview." Also, it’s not the most user-friendly for non-tech folks, so they might find it a bit tough to navigate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We don't need to spend time to build tools for internal users like customer supports.
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.
Retool is great for accelerating ideas
What do you like best about the product?
- So easy to use
- 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.

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.
