Verified user reviews

GetApp maintains a proprietary database of millions of in-depth, verified user reviews across thousands of products in hundreds of software categories. Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews.

Retool overview

What is Retool?

"Retool is an application development platform that enables developers to combine the benefits of traditional software development with a drag-and-drop UI editor and AI to build internal tools radically faster.

Building in Retool fits with how you develop software today—deploy it anywhere, connect to any internal service, import your libraries, debug with your toolchain, and share it securely to users—ensuring good and well-governed software by default.

Retool is used by industry leaders such as Amazon, American Express, DoorDash, OpenAI, and Mercedes Benz for mission critical custom software across operations, billing, and customer support."
