We spent 3 hours building an epic internal app with retool which an agency quoted us £20k and 1 month to make! To give you an idea of how intuitive it is, before opening Retool yesterday, I had never used API calls before and we now have a working app which we've rolled out across the team in <2 days. Amazing!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can feel daunting at the start as someone non-technical but the tempaltes etc are amazing and help Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the fact that they are continuously adding new features and solutions that allows us to implement not only the frontend but also the backend of custom web applications with so much ease. Additionally, it is quite well integrated with most of the industry's preferred platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is still not ready to be used beyond prototyping stage or when there is a need to fully scale the infra for heavier loads. Additionally, the ability to add custom packages and import code in popular langauges such as python is missing, although there are ways around provided to get the job done at the least.

Too many things to choose from!

But as a Retool user since 2020, I have to say that the best thing about Retool is its regular feature updates. I've seen many low-code solutions that stay almost stagnant in their features, and Retool brings in valuable new features all the time that help uplevel our user experience.

Can't think of much! Retool is built in such a way that if there was something that isn't possible out of the box, there are still options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform lets you build the tools you need quickly without complex coding. It integrates easily with other systems, so you can pull in data from anywhere. It’s a great choice when you need to streamline tasks efficiently and fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although I've been working with Retool every day for a couple of years, I wouldn't say it has any major flaws. Occasionally, the app freezes, but that's about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface, wealth of documentation and components provide an easy experience for users to learn on the go and complete the tasks they seek to complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Collaborative editing became a problem. Sometimes, you would do several edits that would not save, nor would show up in the history if another user is inside the application editing environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy implementation of applications, especially for people who have not built apps before. It was extremely easy to get started and the help from the forums is quick and easily accessible if you get stuck. Also, the integrations with our other systems (Salesforce and Databricks) were easy to implement saving us time. The acceptance of the app has been easy on our daily users of the app and the frequent releases of features make the development exciting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I hope gets better is the implementation of requested features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy it is to spin up demos, prototypes, etc. As a backend engineer, my frontend skills are not the best, so retool is really useful for wrapping apis and DBs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice if there was some vsCode integration or something. I find it's really easy to setup simple demos, but then once I want to make some bigger changes it gets a bit cumbersome, compared to how I would change code in a vsCode project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Creating on the fly internal tools that integrates with every aspect of our infrastructure. This helps empower our support users and anyone else to resolve our clients' issues. And it speeds up the development process of internal tools. It is used daily in all over our operations to support the support team as a tech expert and SME. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is designed for engineers and the permissions, controls, and organization can be overwhelming for users or non-tech savvy users to build on their own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use this tool daily and have seen incredible value in bringing transparency between all of our systems. Our operations have improved 10 fold. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the pricing model until you get to discuss enterprise pricing. There is not enough justification for us to take the plunge and take on that kind of expense. I also feel that the enterprise pricing was a complete shocker and adds quite a bit to your final price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Retool is a powerful combination of ease of use and flexibility. It allows you to quickly build and deploy complex internal tools using a drag-and-drop interface while also offering the ability to write custom code when needed. This balance between no-code simplicity and developer-friendly customization makes Retool incredibly versatile for a wide range of use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Retool is awesome, but when your app grows, it can feel like untangling Christmas lights—still doable, but a bit of a headache. And the pricing? Let’s just say your wallet might need a pep talk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
