The ultimate versatile platform for in-house data based apps
What do you like best about the product?
As a software developer, I really like the immediate availability of all the building blocks of a full fledged app - database, file storage, interfaces, etc. Also the ease with which the interface components connect to the backend resources is such a breeze! Most or maybe even all the standard use cases for displaying data can be implemented in just a few minutes. I was able to set up all the data infrastructure and UI for a bike business, including tracking repairs, rentals, bike tours, and inventory in just a couple of days.
What do you dislike about the product?
The highly opinionated nature of the platform can be a limitation at times, but there is always a workaround.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was looking for a solution for a small business (bike shop) that included a number of interrelated and complex areas of activity - rentals, repairs, purchases, sales, and inventory. The only kind of existing software that could satisfactorily solve all those things would be enterprise packages that are very expensive and unwieldy for a small business.
the easy way of success
What do you like best about the product?
it's the most easy to use easy integration with easy of implementation tools and various resources
What do you dislike about the product?
i think the ai prompting to make a workflow need some work, and it would be great if there is a prompt to build an application from zero to at least 80% on ( creat a new app)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
cut time on building projects and it's so easy for non-technical like me
A powerful and simple tool for rapid application development
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Retool is how quickly it allows you to develop applications without needing extensive coding knowledge. It's super easy to use and connect with databases or APIs. Additionally, the interface is very intuitive, which makes the development process much more agile. Ideal for saving time and focusing on what really matters.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, not much. I've been developing an advanced CRM for a few weeks, and if I had to mention something, it would be that it doesn't have a system to rename components dynamically (or at least I haven't detected one). Changing the name of each object one by one can be quite tedious when working with larger scenes. But other than that, everything's great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The reduction of time in the development and setup of the CRM, the quick setup, and the possibility to test it quickly (Trial and error made easier)
Seamless Integration with Looker
What do you like best about the product?
The seamless integration with Looker was one of the best things. With this we were able to directly pull looker datasets regarding associates' productivity into retool and used that to create interactive dashboards and availability of customise tools for specific operational needs also played a great role in simplifying our work
What do you dislike about the product?
The retool platform is powerful but sometimes it showed us failure in loading the dashboards and some features, even though it was not happening regularly but still, it was a little bit irritating
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By integrating looker data we could centralise data for productivity KPIs, also manage line adherence on real-time basis, and manage quality KPIs by creating interactive dashboards for the same. For our Czech Republic-based client it was helping them in better visibility into key metrics, the current status of pending cases and their quick resolution

What do you dislike about the product?
Takes some time to fully get used to, but resources help bridge the gap.
While non-technical users can easily interact with completed products, creating tools independently could be challenging.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool helped us solve the challenge of building an internal tool to manage our customers, update our database, and view files and uploads efficiently. We needed a solution that could be launched in just a few days, and Retool made it incredibly easy to connect to our existing infrastructure and build the tools we required. Additionally, it provided a user-friendly interface that even non-technical team members could interact with, enabling our entire team to manage operations effectively without requiring extensive training or technical expertise.
Powerful automated tool
What do you like best about the product?
The ui building blocks and the options we utilize for organizing our environments
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing actually i guess it serves our purposes perfectly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of retool's solutions is building the frontend of any app and it gives us high custom components for building our UI
I build internal tools for a living. With Retool, it makes no sense to code from scratch anymore
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can pull in data from existing sources instead of having to just create another database. Retool has a rather simple interface, and if I need help, good docs.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not really sure what I dislike yet about Retool. I come from a technical background, so using something like this comes naturally.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm creating internal tools for my team to manage a suite of devices.
Transformative Tool for Rapid App Development
What do you like best about the product?
Retool has completely changed the way I build apps. The drag-and-drop interface is super intuitive, making it easy to piece together complex applications without writing tons of code. I love how seamlessly it connects with all sorts of data sources and APIs—whether it's a SQL database or a REST API, Retool handles it all effortlessly. Plus, the pre-built templates save me so much time when starting new projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
While I love using Retool, there are a few hiccups. The learning curve was a bit steep at first, especially when diving into more advanced features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool has been a lifesaver for streamlining our internal processes. We've built several apps that help automate tasks and manage data more efficiently, saving us hours every week. It's also cut down on our development costs since we don't need to hire extra developers for every little tool we need. Overall, it's made my job easier and our team more productive.

What do you dislike about the product?
As it has lots of features sometime it is difficult to have the idea of all features immediately. For example i didn't knew that i can write python code in the workflow and run it using a different input feature as workflow and display it in the ui for user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As retool is efficient to build the interactive dashboards it helps in displaying the complex table data and api response in proper and well created UI. It all handles the data and user to customize the errors and data restrictions can be set by user.
Upto what extent data should be displayed. Different functions can be written to handle google sheets and run python code for understanding the user requirements.
For me it resolved the problem of complex data to display easily and in dynamic way.
