Excellent Way to build internal apps quickly
What do you like best about the product?
Retool provides a way to quickly spin up a basic UI, connecting to back end servers and common integrations like postgres and Stripe easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
The workflow for releasing new versions of an app is confusing and collaborating on an app is a little fraught and apt to cause collisions and confusion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use retool to build and support internal tools, like dashboards, operations, and customer experience workflows, without having to devote dev. time towards customer UI development.

Perfect low-code solution for internal tooling and external apps!
What do you like best about the product?
Too many things to choose from!
But as a Retool user since 2020, I have to say that the best thing about Retool is its regular feature updates. I've seen many low-code solutions that stay almost stagnant in their features, and Retool brings in valuable new features all the time that help uplevel our user experience.

What do you dislike about the product?
Can't think of much! Retool is built in such a way that if there was something that isn't possible out of the box, there are still options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The primary problem its solving is allowing for speedy app building, particularly from less technical builders.
Really an intuitive product!
What do you like best about the product?
It has greatly help improve our team's productivity. It is simple staright forward and prototyping is never faster and easier. It has also reduced the overhead for spinning up the apps.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing could be better and cannot use to build complex applications. Integration to our custom components which we build could be made little straight forward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were usign to buildp prototypes for some of our applications. Prototypes were taking time, but using Retool we were faster and it was svaing a lot of time, We were able to get feedback quickly and on the fly in some meetings we were able to fix some comments and show the updated version.
Simplicity and Focus
What do you like best about the product?
I love that retool is such an evergreen tool. We use it for so many different operations here and basically takes the trouble out of crazy calculations that we could never do manually.
What do you dislike about the product?
I just wish it was more intuitive and easier for people to figure out how to manipulate for their specific needs and the steps needed to get there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool currently helps us generate a schedule of projected revenue over terms of our agreements and matches the revenue to the specific assets that are bringing it in. We're able to accurately show our customers data on their own products and that strengthens our relationship with them.
Definitely the best best of low code solutions
What do you like best about the product?
I like the transparent integration between code and UI (actually writing and seeing the code). Retool is by far the best and quickest way to create simple CRUD webapps. I really enjoy workflows as well. I like how you can define resources, and use them throughout the app. It seems all of the authentication types are supported really good (haven't ran into an issue once). Retool offers the fastest way to implament new apps of all of the other low code solutions. I haven't yet had to communicate to customer support, but from what I have learned from a collegue, customer support is awesome, they don't only help with predifined answers, but actually listen to suggestions and make corrections in the system based on user needs. Integration with other tools is easy, because of resources feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
1. Error logging is a bit lacking compared to writing app by code (still a lot better than all other low code solutions)
2. Apps can get a bit slow when loading loads of data
3. Code suggestions sometimes not working properly
4. It sometimes forces you to write unreadable code by design, because you have to write it in one line
5. I miss passing parameters to between functions and queries, I had to find a few workarounds to make some edge case solutions work
6. Workflows - missing looping over multiple blocks

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly development of quick simple CRUD applications, that would otherwise take months to put out.
I am so happy to use retool because of user experinence is super.
What do you like best about the product?
We are using lots of retool sites during day operations and response is faster, more effective, and saving the operation time.

It's easy to upload and create the label. So far my user experience is good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can easily find out customer information using filter.
Retool allowed growth for both me and my company
What do you like best about the product?
Being a low-code tool, it was easy for me to start using it as a non-technical employee. It has allowed me to build over 50+ tools, dashboards, and prototypes, used daily by users, in significantly less time than other alternative solutions. It also offered me great customization options to make sure apps not only work but also look great. Overall, this is a wonderful tool for prototyping or automating pieces of work.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is easy that a 'prototype' will be good enough for users, that it would remain as a production product. It is important not to forget about the bigger picture and ensure that all production solutions are aligned with other company standards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool is allowing us to build custom ways to see data not available in mainstream BI tools. For example when looking at a weather event and how would that impact customers, sometimes selecting countries, cities from a dropdown is not a great way to do it, as human-made borders don't necessarily align with weather events. Retool allowed us to create a custom HTML component that would use a map as a reference to select a number of affected users and query all relevant information needed for the business to action, greatly reducing the time needed to do this task while increasing accuracy of potentially affected users.
Additionally Retool is allowing the study and testing of Proof of Concept ideas, making quick developments to test if an idea works before investing talent time and company resources on some untested idea. This is specially relevant with Retool's integrated AI features, and the potential unexplored use-cases of this technology.
