Very Impressed so far
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy that Retool, as far as I can tell, is a javascript GUI overflowing with connectors. I haven't coded in javascript in 20 years yet still found it incredibly intuitive to sketch out my first application from start to finish within about a day, integrating feedback just as quickly. I was able to rapidly integrate back-end views I had created to support this without having to fiddle with connection strings or anything like that. I enjoy the fact that just about any input can be controlled by passing javascript statements, and that once you understand this the sky is the limit.
I do not have enough experience with similar tools for comparison to identify deficiencies. I have also been using this tool for ~ two weeks, so asses my feedback in that context. Most of my experience is in analytics, working primarily in SAS, R, Python, and various implementations of SQL.

What do you dislike about the product?
Retool is great for rapidly building new apps for internal users and iterating through them. It is very flexible and customizable. This makes it very powerful. However, it suffers the same risk in the development space as Excel has in the financial space: it seems subject to the whims of the user and could easily lend itself to nightmare code and nightmare maintenance. In the right hands, it is perfect for its intended use case but may draw lesser-experienced users into building infrastructure off of it instead of relying on the engineering teams where that work is more appropriate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Rapid development and iteration for approvals and denials in our process flow. We can test ideas in real-time, identifying flaws before trying to engage engineers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is as powerful and flexible as Excel is in other domains, with similar risks.

Recently i faced some issue with sending form data
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I build some quick ui connecting with apis & build internal tools
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Nothing it's doing good
Good RAD environment
What do you like best about the product?
No server to manage.
Easy to use with external APIs so no need to give a 3rd party website direct DB access.
Great support.

Great support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Javascript is finicky and difficult to debug.
Retool would benefit greatly from an integrated debug suite of tools so we don't have to debug from the browser like we're still in 1999.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to develop internal tools like customer support.
We can easily setup 3rd party partners with a secure Retool instance so we don't have to deal with our company firewalls, auth, etc.

Awesome toolkit to build internal tools at the speed flash :)
What do you like best about the product?
Drag and drop option to build productive layouts that scale with Adhoc task requirements. Awsome low code tool to build ad-hoc/planned dashboards. Other features like action flow builders have made it fairly good to design decent level systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Operation speed and contextual speed could have been a bit better though it serves the use case. Building high quality/functional tool require potential knowledge of SQL, Would be great if it also explores the no-code domain.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Internal tools for ops and sales team for high impact Adhoc tasks. A great tool to manage records/transaction/workflow for low/medium scale.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great low-code tool to meet up requirements in less time, allows to build sustainable workflows which can bring desirable results.
Easy and useful
What do you like best about the product?
It is very intuitive, you don't need too much programming knowledge to build dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is hard to find what you are looking for. The screen gets too crowded, I believe there should be a better way to organize things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for ticket management and to analyze ticket submissions. Also, we use different dashboards to see who is available in our app.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think it is an easy and intuitive way to build your custom business tool adapted to your needs.
Simple and fast way to create UIs
What do you like best about the product?
It has all the components needed to create a UI, both basic and advanced stuff. Also lots of customization options for each of these components.
What do you dislike about the product?
Exporting apps as static files and directly hosting them on our own
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can develop UIs much faster. We spend less time on developing UIs and more time on more features or more projects.
Best no code platform ever used
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and using SQL to execute CRUD operation make it very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing for some useful option is not very cheap, but it deserve his price.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I create small application in a very fast time for my customers
Ottimo per raccolta dati senza scrivere programmi
What do you like best about the product?
Ottimo tool per creare veloci e facili applicazioni senza avere particolari conoscenza di sviluppo software. Utile per poter integrare altre applicazione tramite API
What do you dislike about the product?
Se si vogliono realizzare applicazioni complesse con una sequenza di operazioni diventa un pò meno semplice e necessita di un'analisi di progetto più approfondita
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Utilizzo di tool web tramite chiamte API. Inserimento massivo di record da parte di utenti "base" e collegamento a tabelle di altri database.
Il tutto con risparmio di tempo e risorse.

Super handy tool to quickly design any web app
What do you like best about the product?
There are a variety of data sources that can be used to integrate with the app. There are lots of visuals available that can be configured easily. Moreover, you can install this tool on your choice of Cloud.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be good if we can ad some programming components as well. Like a Python script.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are reading data from one data source, editing it on the UI & then saving it into target DB.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It can be used to quickly create a web app.
Powerful tool for all users!
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to quickly standup mini-apps to help our internal staff operate more efficiently. With Technical resources at a premium, the ability for a product manager to stand up to these apps has saved us money and time across the board.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes we are limited due to the in-bowser memory. Running some processes in bulk crashes the system so either it needs to be divided up into smaller runs or run through another application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We solve internal support problems and configuration. Allowing Retool to house apps to allow our staff to get to the information that may not have a UI wrapped around it or the ability to join multiple data sources together is key.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Identify a few apps you think you would use Retool for to start. Install a trial and just see how easy it is. The key with Retool is that you have to have the API's and database access and support to be successful.
