Lead Engineer

The separation between, connectors, data and layout is amazing in retool.

Solution Architect

The variety of components to build out a quick UI make for easy implementation that is modern and user friendly.

Seo Executive

This alone is great but with the added workflow automations, apis, and custom javascript you can implement in any step of the process, Retool has become an essential part of my business.

CO-founder

Retool has cut down our cost of internal software development by a factor of 100 (We have over 40 internal apps, and I didn't have to hire engineers to build them).

Director

The lack of API signing is a frustration, and the lack of custom credential management makes working around the lack of signing risky.

They're always adding new features, the AI support is great, the integrations are world-class, it's always easy to add new integrations they don't have, and their webinars and material make it easy to stay on the cutting edge.

QA Co ordinator

Mastering some of its more advanced functionalities could require a bit of a learning curve for users who are new to the platform

Senior Software Engineer

Retool has all the features we required to build the internal tools, But when it comes to pricing retool is not an affordable option and it is not flexible with the pricing too.
