I have zero dislikes about Retool. I have not found them yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am creating a dashboard with information that comes from an API.
Dream To Reality with Retool
What do you like best about the product?
I was at beginner level in coding and still am. I used it for a week and had my app done within that time frame. Very easy to use. Simple. I have managed to make a mobile app that I can pilot and use.The Implentation of compoenets and widget tools was very easy to use. In editing, colouring, fraimng my pages for each its use. Watch the space because something life changing for us, the people.... is coming. I'm definetely going to recommend this to my friends and family. If you have an Idea, do not be afraid to put it to good use. My first ever app and honestly, Im proud of what I see. Thank you Retool!! You have a lifetime friend overhere.
What do you dislike about the product?
Had a few errors in the beginning as some tools were hard to use but after persistence I managed to get exactly what I wanted. Honestly, the only dislike is that I cant make it into an apk file and be able to share and use it as , not everyone i shared with for pilot use was keen on wanting to hace to download the app then open via a link after creating an account.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Some drag and drop applications and softwares I used previously were not this easy to use. I could share the project with friends and family too. I thought making an App would be a lot harder and require alot more of my time. I wish I had done this 5 years ago
Fast way to build powerful tools
What do you like best about the product?
Retool is fantastic. I was able to create a fully functional app in just a couple of days, even without much coding or web architecture experience. The interface is clear, and it’s especially great for adding AI features easily. Highly recommend if you want to move fast and build reliable tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI can be a bit unclear at times. It’s easy to spend several minutes clicking around to figure out how to do something simple. A bit more guidance or clearer workflows would help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool lets me build internal apps without needing to involve the tech team. I can quickly create AI prototypes, experiment with workflows, and automate parts of our company processes. This saves time, reduces dependency on developers, and helps us move faster.
A Game-Changer for Building Internal Tools at Lightning Speed
What do you like best about the product?
Honestly, what blew me away was the speed. I'm using it for the first time and I managed to build a functional tool in just one afternoon, something I thought would take me at least a few days. Connecting it to my database was surprisingly easy, it just worked. I love that even though it's so simple to start, I can still write my own code if I ever need to do something more specific. I can already see how much time this is going to save me.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can get a bit complex when you want to build something really custom. The basics are simple, but it can sometimes be difficult to find and connect more complicated actions, like making one button trigger several different steps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem Retool solves for us is the slow, manual process of interacting with our database. Previously, if I needed to view customer data, I have to run a manual query.
Retool gives us a way to get quick access to our databases and present that data in a really clear way, like in a table or a list. The main benefit is that we can now manage all that information in a surprisingly simple way. We can build tools with forms and buttons that let our team safely create, update, or delete records without needing any technical help. It has saved us a huge amount of development time.

It's been good, it works for the work I'm doing.
What do you like best about the product?
For creating mvp visualizations it is very good. It works great with integrations to different applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you could have a guide for documentation for new users or maybe have a wizard to guide, for that you can contact Atom ;) .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Create mvps for AI work. It communicates well with different environments and works well for me for that.
Retool makes me feel like a team of 10 :)
What do you like best about the product?
Retool is honestly one of the best tools I’ve worked with in the last few years. It’s crazy how easy it is to build powerful internal apps or middleware without getting lost in boilerplate code or endless setup.
A few years ago, building what I can now do with Retool would’ve taken a full team, but now I can do it all myself in a fraction of the time.
The UI is intuitive, connecting to APIs or databases is fast, and scripting logic into your tools is quick.
I’ve used it to automate tasks, build dashboards, and link systems together that didn’t talk before, and it just works very very well.
If you’re looking to move fast and flexible, and enjoy building tools, give Retool a try: it’s a productivity boost I didn’t know I needed.
AAA+ for me.

NO FTP CLIENT INTEGRATION! :)
Please give it to us!!! (legacy enterprises still use it)

Integrate with different systems it's very very easay
Versatile approach for quick solutions
What do you like best about the product?
The thing I love about Retool is that allows you to solve operational issues in a pretty straightforward way: "can we solve it with a retool?" If the answer is no, then we automatically justify assigning proper resources to a given development.
Retool is so powerful in its applications yet so simple in its implementations, that 90% of the regular problems that could arise in production can be handled by an app that can regularly be completed in under an hour (without aesthetic efforts). If you cannot make it easily in Retool, perhaps you shouldn't make it in Retool
Be it interacting with your DB, your backend, making specific calculations, working with your cloud provider, Retool is the path to avoid relying on scripts in some intern's laptop.

What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, only my biased dislike of javascript, as it is the used for pretty much anything that is not an out-of-the-box interaction for a given element. Besides that point (which is really not an issue), Retool is great for what it does.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
anytime i need someone to interact with our database, where there is not a provided BE solution directly available, i can simply make a Retool that makes said interaction in a predefined, validated and secure way. it is also a great way
A developer’s dream
What do you like best about the product?
Retool is a one stop shop for trying out an idea quickly. It’s free to get started and can scale if you find a fit. It’s exceptionally flexible and reliable. I find myself thinking up fun ways to use it just to automate personal projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can get expensive for a big team. But for hobbiests and startups it’s excellent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation and integrations. Quick prototypes.
It is quite quick and easy solution to create applications
What do you like best about the product?
The easy database integration and the quick and easy way to create forms and store data. Ease of implenetation as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it was more form oriented then component creation so that I can build a workflow and add pages and databases to it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am trying to build applications for both internal or external purposes and take them to production faster in this fast-paced world we live in,
Great tool to build internal tools UI
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Retool strikes a great balance between low-code simplicity and flexibility — it lets you build quickly without code when needed, but still gives you the control to create better UIs when it matters.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing model is hard to make it work when your user base is big.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our backend developers used to face a barrier when it came to contributing to our internal tools — they lacked the frontend expertise. With Retool, that’s no longer a limitation. They can now build and contribute to the tools they’ve always wanted, without needing to become frontend specialists. On top of that, we no longer need a dedicated team managing patching and frontend dependencies.
