"Retool is an incredible tool that has proven to be highly effective for our needs"
What do you like best about Retool?

The diverse insights we obtain from Retool and its seamless integration into our backend processes are truly astounding! Moreover, the nearly effortless automation it offers greatly enhances its efficiency and functionality.

What do you dislike about Retool?

In reality, there wasn't much to address. The only challenge I encountered was the necessity of purchasing a new laptop, as my previous one proved too sluggish to handle this system. However, since acquiring my new laptop, everything has been running smoothly without any issues.

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

The operational tool we utilize is essential for ensuring the seamless functioning of our entire platform, accommodating various user stories and the inclusion of different types, such as master users and matches. Its significance in maintaining smooth operations cannot be overstated.

"It was so simple and easy to navigate"
What do you like best about Retool?

As a coding newbie and budding Product Manager with a non-technical background, I built a retool app from scratch. I have basic knowledge of SQL but never worked with Javascript before; believe me, I could write Javascript with the help of Retool community. I got help whenever I needed it from the community - Amazing.

What do you dislike about Retool?

I love everything about Retool, so this is not a downside, just a suggestion that it would be nice to come up with the top 20 apps being built with Retool and make them as templates for use by stark beginners.

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

I have been able to use Retool to build forms for customers to use, and unlike other generic forms, I can customize the conditions of my input fields as it pleases me.

"Excellent!"
What do you like best about Retool?

I like Retool due to the fact that is such a great tool to work with and to be honest, it has made my life. Without Retool, my job would be impossible and I would not be able to provide excellent customer service based on the customers' inquiries. I have never thought that such a well-designed tool would be so easy to understand and will be the pinnacle of managing my work, such as upgrading subscriptions and managing the subscription members as well.

What do you dislike about Retool?

Even if I would try to find a down sight of this amazing tool, that would be impossible. The first time I worked with Retool I was so relieved that my work would be a lot easier with it.

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

As difficult as I thought it will be, managing subscriptions with Retool, and all the other uses, such as upgrading, being able to find the Serial Number of the product we are selling, and knowing it a subscription is active or not appears to be a piece of cake, and everything is very well-designed.

"Retool is intuitive and user-friendly"
What do you like best about Retool?

One of the things I appreciate most about Retool is its ease of use. The platform is intuitive and user-friendly, even for those with limited coding experience. The drag-and-drop interface makes creating new applications and customizing existing ones simple. Plus, the extensive library of pre-built components and integrations means that I can quickly build complex applications without starting from scratch.

What do you dislike about Retool?

One potential drawback of Retool is that it can be a bit expensive for smaller organizations or individual developers.

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

Retool helps me connect to virtually any data source or API, and it has a massive help in solving customers' request
