## Reviews

### "Great product for sales and customer service" — 4.0/5

> **Anna** | *December 10, 2024* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: it integrates with alot of custom fields to our sales process and gives a great detailed overview of the customer's journey.
> 
> **Cons**: I feel like some fields could be more detailed, for ex. what triggers actions to block certain user.
> 
> It is easy to use and shows a good overview of customer's accounts. The one thing that could help improve the user experience is to have icons that explain what entails each field on the app.

### "Retool is a Game Changer for App Dev" — 5.0/5

> **Eric** | *June 16, 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is one of the most flexible low-code platforms that we have worked with.  Through Retool, my team has been able to build a complete suite of internal tools, used across 22 dealerships.  I can't say enough good things about this product.  &#10;&#10;Once we discovered the pure power of Retool, we abandoned most of our custom dev efforts.  We learned that for tooling, we could accomplish everything we needed in 1/2 the time with Retool.  I don't think I can say Game-Changer enough.
> 
> **Cons**: The learning curve can be quite steep, but once the team has it locked in, there is so much that can be done on the platform.  User management is a little clunky as well, but not bad enough to abandon the platform.
> 
> We started with the trial version before upgrading to enterprise.  The sales team was phenomenal.  We were able to circumvent the traditional sales process, in order to get the contract signed and begin building.  The PS team was responsive and helpful throughout the process.

### "Disapointed\! Data should never 'disapear'. Afraid of editing the app to avoid mayor data loss" — 1.0/5

> **Anonymous User** | *November 17, 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It gives lot's of freedom and one can created almost anything. The possibilities are immense. Unfortunately all the negative issues eclipse any positive feature at the moment\!
> 
> **Cons**: One has to adapt to a different logic when implementing features, compared to when you write the app entirely from scratch. UI is full of small issues that can make one loose time. Saving is not guaranteed. Many, many times the UI will show the Save button even after saving multiple times. Nothing ensures you that after a page reload your code will still be there, so you better have your own backup\!\!
> 
> Today they updated, and they introduced new minor UI bugs, and one mayor issue with the saving feature. For resources of type SQL content disappears randomly\!\! This is a big problem because now I have to keep a copy of all the code writen in Retool. FORGET ABOUT THE PEACE OF MIND OF HAVING A TRUSTWORTHY STORAGE\!\!

### "Great to produce a complete internal dashboard/tool" — 5.0/5

> **Remi** | *December 10, 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We were using a google sheet with app script to track all our internal metrics, it was cumbersome and at the end not flexible at all.&#10;The separation between, connectors, data and layout is amazing in retool.&#10;I did a complete dashboard with ~10 datasources in 24h
> 
> **Cons**: I would love to have the ability to make paginated API call without JS function which need to be run manually.
> 
> Good experience, much better dashboard for our company.

### "The Perfect Blend of Low-Code Convenience and Developer Flexibility" — 5.0/5

> **Isaac** | *December 10, 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The variety of components to build out a quick UI make for easy implementation that is modern and user friendly. Connecting to data and writing queries is seamless, and there is a good balance of abstraction but flexibility to write code when needed.
> 
> **Cons**: Manually implementing CRUD operations for each table. Having native actions already enabled on the table based on the source of data would be great and save time building.
> 
> My experience has been great coming from another low-code application development platform. I really appreciate the forum and discord for supporting my questions and resolving blockers. The platform is ahead of others with version control and customization.
