Review Retool?
Reviewers largely see Retool as a strong time-saver for internal dashboards, admin panels, back-office tools, and data-heavy workflows, especially because it connects easily to databases and APIs, supports fast drag-and-drop building, and still allows custom code when needed. Users also praise its flexibility, security features, and broad integrations. The main caveat is usability: several reviewers mention a real learning curve, confusing UX, weak or inconsistent documentation, occasional bugs, and some lag or friction when apps or database changes get more complex.

High quality usability oriented low-code tool to create hassle free full stack progressive react applications.
Very versatile in data fetching alternatives, with several build-in options, and even more in data management through interface components.
I am very pleased with the features so far.

I'm using it to build a small back office tool, using the Free version and it is fantastic. Mainly using it to integrate via API and no issues at all. It offers great flexibility and you can do "whatever you want" in terms of customisation. Great low code tool - highly recommended.

We use it to manage client content queues, generate deep business insights, and even rely on Retool DB to host and organize our data. Having everything in one platform saves us time, reduces complexity, and lets us focus on building for our customers instead of reinventing internal tools.
I love it! It's so quick and easy to set up admin interfaces with Retool. We also use their integrated Postgres database as a data warehouse and use their automations as an ETL path.
We love Retool because it allows us to build advanced AI prompt admin tools quickly and efficiently. It’s a game-changer for scaling Onsen's AI functionality.
Retool has been awesome for us and made it super easy to build internal apps, which has saved us a ton of time since we don't have to use eng resources to create internal tools
