Review Retool
What do you like best about the product?
The way data is organised in retool is great.. multiple queries, customisable queries etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its slow sometimes. I am not sure its due to internal or external dependency
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its a order management tool for us.. all backend activities are done here.
Best tool for getting an app out quickly
What do you like best about the product?
I wrote my API endpoints and I was able to quickly integrate with them and get a functional UI. This reduced development time by a lot and as a backend developer it made sure I could give something that was functional very quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation wasn't that great. Some examples in docs of how the raw javascript interacted with retool components would have been nice. The GCP integration is buggy, but I believe this is a known issue since there was a bug ticket.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps a developer get a product over the line without knowing much about front-end things and styling. I was about to complete my entire app in 3 days along with the tweaked javascripts.
Incredible tool gives superpowers to anyone with a basic understanding of JS or SQL
What do you like best about the product?
Enables me, a relatively nontechnical person (who just knows some SQL and JS), to build prototypes and flows that I would have formerly needed eng support for
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing I dislike. It's amazing! Really great
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps me build internal tools without having to pull in eng resources
Retool is a great option for folks looking to build internal tools without relying on engineers.
What do you like best about the product?
I really like that retool's foundation is SQL + javascript, makes it complex enough to use but easy enough to google ways to make it work.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think some of the javascript portions of the tool could be 'block coded' / off the shelf vs. having to be coded by users (or let users submit their own blocks).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool is bridging the gap between something like Zapier and trying to build our own internal tool from scratch.
Perfect/Quick way to create any type of app
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility to create whatever application our team needs. We have created apps for our finance, tech, product, and marketing teams without the need to involve our Engineering teams. It has many popular connectors and easy to use components.
What do you dislike about the product?
As of right now, there is not much I dislike about Retool. I think they can have a slightly better experience in the drag and drop builder, but overall everything works great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can move way faster than before. This is extremely important for a start-up that needs to grow quickly. It was also allowed us to keep dedicated Engineering bandwidth on our product, while the rest of the team can focus on building apps and processes in Retool.
App and module features are excellent an super easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
App and module features. It allows me to create administrative templates in a matter of minutes. It is really useful to create the backoffice of my company
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to be able to organize the modules within subfolders, but at this moment it is not possible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickly create interfaces to manage content
A racecar for development
What do you like best about the product?
More people can now develop LOB software
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing to dislike, so much to like
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allowing executives and staff to see how our users are experiencing the app. We've benefited from faster development time and increased velocity.
Retool just works.
What do you like best about the product?
I used retool for an internal tool, and it let me build a dashboard on top of Postgres for others to use on the team, and it was great to build in.
What do you dislike about the product?
Learning curve was a bit steep initially, but I was able to figure it out quite fast as it's based on JS + SQL
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool is making it easy for me to build internal tools without having to waste hours on authentication/access control + UI design. It lets me put more time into the actual product rather than on internal tooling.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make a postgres admin dashboard even easier to build
Retool has been an excellent tool
What do you like best about the product?
It makes it super easy to put together operational and internal tools without needing to use engineers. It saves us a lot of time and engineering resources since Product Managers can build those tools themselves.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you don't take extreme cart, it can be pretty difficult to keep track of all the variables you're using. It should also be simpler to trigger mutations by passing them variables.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Retool to build our internal tooling and it provides us a low-code platform to connect with our internal API's to build experiences for our operations users. Using retool we can build these things much more quickly and iterate on them without needing to divert engineering resources.
This is an incredible tool.
What do you like best about the product?
The CEO was first reluctant when I first showed it to him, but when I started building tools in 10x the speed that I would have to implement it from scratch, he was converted.
What do you dislike about the product?
Please please please add mulitple tag support for tables. They would look so much better than the current JSON viewer.
Typescript support. This would be a serious gamechanger for me.
Typescript support. This would be a serious gamechanger for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retool removes the burden of having to build UI components simply to display analytics or to look at a database. I can pile up multiple database connections without facing any issues.
