"Great tool for creating basic intra-company apps"
What do you like best about Retool?

Very easy to start, you can build an app in hours. Familiar to React devs.

What do you dislike about Retool?

Two people cannot work at the same app at the same time - this is understandable as there is no version control but it slows development a bit.

What problems is Retool solving and how is that benefiting you?

Building a internal data management tool. It speeds up development as there are no release cycles.

"Retool: A tool to build tools"
What do you like best about Retool?

Integrating databases is quick and straightforward. Additionally, the UI builder is intuitive and contains tons of custom settings for each component, reducing the amount of work the Retool developer must put in to achieve a working product.

What do you dislike about Retool?

Debugging issues in Retool scripts is not straightforward and requires more steps than typical front-end debugging via browser tools. Also, the developer needs to put in work to get asynchronous request handling working.

What problems is Retool solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our company is using Retool to quickly and efficiently build out internal tools. The speed at which tools are implemented with Retool versus creating tools using Django's internal framework gives back time to developers to work on other initiatives.

"Tens of thousands of dollars for 5 users to limit production database access"
What do you like best about Retool?

Being able to deploy it inside of our own cluster has been great, and it's easy and quick to create apps that help internal business processes. We actually really, really like the core product offering.

What do you dislike about Retool?

We have only 5 users that need to use the tool, but importantly we want 4 of them to just be able to view apps we've created, not edit them. This becomes really important because we are in a data-regulated industry and so we don't want them to be able to have edit/unrestricted read access to our production database, which is what allowing them to edit apps would essentially be. To accomplish this seemingly simple ask (we're not looking for advanced permission groups - literally just a way to prevent unrestricted database access) - we were quoted many, many tens of thousands of dollars on their enterprise plan. I found this insulting and really quite stunning that such an important product requirement is an "enterprise" usecase.

What problems is Retool solving and how is that benefiting you?

An internal dashboard to help manage customer accounts.

"Terrible experince"
What do you like best about Retool?

we favored them during the sales pitch but no actual delivery was made

What do you dislike about Retool?

The vendor was the worst we've had in our company. They coerced us into signing a massive contract which we didn't require. Their performance was abysmal and their support is horrendous."

What problems is Retool solving and how is that benefiting you?

difficult, not user-friendly, poor speed, not a low-code platform; requires significant investment from your best developers to function optimally. Thus, it is illogical to purchase this platform.
