"Fast App Building with Customization Challenges"
4/5
What do you like best about Retool?

I like that Retool is fast and quick to assemble apps. It's really easy for me to quickly create views for our customer team to use. The initial setup of Retool was also very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Retool?

The tables are so ugly, and I wish that there was more customizability there. Also, the graphs too are pretty limited in terms of customizability. I wish it was easier to add custom React components like I can with Plotly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Empowers Team with User-Friendly Data Access"
4/5
What do you like best about Retool?

I like Retool's ability to expand access to data upload across the team, which means we don't have to rely completely on engineers for this task. I also find the initial setup easy. Additionally, I appreciate that it solves the problem of uploading with a GUI instead of just on the backend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Retool?

I think Retool could be a bit more user-friendly for non-technical folks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive and powerful tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Retool?

I appreciate how Retool enables us to build intuitive and multi-functional interfaces in a very short amount of time. Its capacity to construct strong workflows that effectively call APIs to interact with our working environment really stands out for me. I love that it's capable of not only connecting with agents to execute diverse tasks such as web searching and summarizing but also of calling or updating data resources seamlessly. The powerful agent feature is a remarkable aspect of Retool, and its quick learning curve makes it extremely accessible and easy to master. I find the inspirations provided by Retool particularly helpful. Moreover, the initial setup was very easy, which I highly value. Overall, my experience with Retool has been overwhelmingly positive, and I would highly recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Empowers Rapid Tool Building with Ease"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Retool?

I really appreciate how Retool facilitates exposing data to a diverse range of stakeholders through a self-service, app-like interface. This capability significantly enhances cross-functional collaboration, as it enables all parties, regardless of their technical expertise, to engage with data effectively. The platform’s ease of use makes it a wonderful tool that doesn't impose limits on creativity or functionality, which I find extremely valuable. The power Retool provides is evident as it empowers a single developer to achieve what typically might require the effort of two to three developers. Furthermore, its robust connectivity is impressive; I'm able to connect with virtually any datastore, making it versatile for various applications. It also efficiently sends information to trigger jobs or pipelines, allowing seamless integration with other processes. Overall, Retool stands out for me in terms of boosting productivity and operational efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Retool?

I would like to see improved documentation and potentially examples similar to those available in complex frameworks like D3. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Retool Supercharges App Development with Seamless AI and CI/CD Integration"
5/5
What do you like best about Retool?

There are many great things about Retool.

1. Creating enterprise quality applications very quickly.

2. Ability to connect with source control.

3. Ability to connect and kick off CI/CD.

4. Built in unit tests that automatically run on changes. So, very "pushed left" into the app developer environment.

5. Very useful integration of AI. The editor makes AI a collaborator. AI can handle iterative development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Retool?

No known issues at this point. We are early in our adoption process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
