Compare Retool with other popular tools in the same category.
You can take a lot of actions from Retool, from taking control of some user's pages or information, also responding to processes that need a hand by the support team
It's not that well organized so you have to learn the pathways to go to the necessary tools, also sometimes the tools that need to be used it get blocked and you can't use it
To block drivers for the stores that require it, or to request a particular assignment for a driver or a customer, it's simple and easy to make this assignment or tasks
I love everything, but mostly, the ability to run AWS lambda functions directly from the tool help me to develop and operate my platform with great comfort and ease
nothing, I really like the toolit's a great tool
helping me to reduce the amount of time our team spends on internal tools developments
I appreciate the fact if you can do it in javascript retool will let you report on it. Substantially cheaper than competition.
Not as executive friendly in that if the C-Suite wants data it isn't easy for them to self serve it as in other platforms.
Allows us to provide the business team with clear reporting in a very affordable way.
Versioning, debugging tools and live preview are great addition
Limitations in workflows. I know it is still in beta but need more features like external dependencies and versioning
Internal process automation and standardization
As a (mostly) backend engineer, I find Retool to be one of the best tools to quickly implement an internal tool that business users can use. I've never seen a similar tool before, and it blew my mind the first time I saw a demo! The best feature would be the easy switch between staging and prod environments.
Since the initial learning curve is so low, your first Retools will be inefficient. Take the time and learn the Version Control features and how to debug queries.
Retool lets non-front-end people create functional websites.
Retools is very easy to get started with, and at the same time, it is highly customisable, which makes it a very productive tool for creating a Proof of Concept (PoC) of any idea or overall to make any tool or experiment with ideas.
There wasn't anything in particular that I disliked. Some things could have even additional functionality and flexibility points, but Retool is continuously working on the product/platform and improving it with more features and functionality, like the recent Retool Workflows which added a whole new dimension of possibilities!
Experimenting with software development can sometimes be a bit costly because there are frontend concerns, backend concerns, system architecture, infrastructure, technology-specific matters, etc. Retool provides a comprehensive, streamlined and customisable development environment to visually create ready-to-use proofs of concepts and products, focusing on productivity and functionality. This saves a lot of time, costs and risk and allows for better software and a much friendlier and more accessible way to a broader audience.
I like that retool is easy to use to create whatever data capture tool you may need. Once its created the forms populate quick easily into a data table that is visible for all users.
I dislike that the Ui is not as friendly, but that is something that can be worked on.
Its solving us from using a data sheet to capture bonus for the end of the month, its also saving us from having to use just another google spread sheet.
It's straightforward, and I can instantly pull up a customer's device identification! I like that it doesn't consume much RAM and provides several features to adjust user permissions for every customer.
Nothing so far! It's convenient and super fun to use!
We use Retool daily to pull up and track our customers' device data. It provides clear insights on workouts and the ability to modify user permissions. Retool makes those daily tasks very simple!
The drag and drop UI components, easy to setup data connections, customizability just to name a few
No real downsides. The product is excellent. We have not yet tested several aspects of the product.
Developing internal tools is a painful process. Retool has made this so much easier. We have increased the productivity of our ops and engineering team significantly.
The way data is organised in retool is great.. multiple queries, customisable queries etc.
Its slow sometimes. I am not sure its due to internal or external dependency
Its a order management tool for us.. all backend activities are done here.
