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.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like some guidance on Javascript building as we're working on low-code projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool solves a number of use cases, including but not limited to designing reports for users that don't have access to the database, making changes to the database without needing access, and limiting the amount of database users for compliance reasons.

Excellent platform to develop quick prototypes, competitive pricing and features makes it preferable

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.
