Retool Reviews

I created a CRM tool using Retool.

The most valuable feature of the solution is connectivity with APIs and other databases.

The solution lacks inbuilt customization to customize bar charts. The solution should add two or three more types of components and allow the usage of Python or other languages instead of Java script. The solution lacks inbuilt customization.

I have been using Retool for seven to eight months.

I have never faced any bugs or lags with the solution.

I am the only one working with the solution as a developer in our organization.

I have previously used a different solution called Appsmith.

The solution's initial setup is super easy. Retool has good documentation, and connectivity with other applications is very easy.

The solution's deployment time depends on the utility. In my case, it took almost four months. Retool takes two to three hours to deploy for a simple project. It is very easy; you just have to drag and drop.

I don't know Retool's current pricing, but it cost around $12 per month earlier.

For my use case, the solution helps me to create multiple charts and tables for data. The solution is deployed on the cloud in our organization. I would recommend the solution to other users.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We are using Retool to create multiple reporting dashboards and implementing low-code workflows to communicate with our RESTful APIs and multiple databases.

The most valuable feature of Retool is the workflow because I can integrate multiple features, such as RESTful API, JavaScript API, or different databases on the same dashboard. I can also do the ETL of the data, trigger events, execute specific scripts, or even generate emails or notifications via that workflow.

The part where we can add some custom logic or custom plugins could be better. Some options are very limited, and we have to do something using code over there.

I have been using Retool for two years.

We haven’t faced any issue with the solution’s stability.

A team of 30 users is using the solution in our organization.

I rate the solution’s scalability an eight out of ten.

We previously created custom applications using many coding technologies. Other than Retool, we have used Xano and Bubble for low-code technologies.

Our company is a customer of Retool, but we develop the internal tools for our company. At some point, we faced issues communicating with some APIs because of some limitations in the plugin when generating the emails for Firebase. We cannot directly communicate with the Firebase features. So, I had to do some coding in the plugin to overcome that.

We recently implemented Retool with our AI product, which was pretty good. I would recommend Retool to other users because it is a good tool if you know how to use it. Someone with basic programming or application development knowledge can use the solution. You must be clear about what you want to implement, what the use case is, and what the requirements are.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
