It wasn't very clear how I could deploy the app I built with retool and how to add authentication and custom domain to my app.

"Retool is an incredible tool that has proven to be highly effective for our needs"
What do you like best about Retool?

The diverse insights we obtain from Retool and its seamless integration into our backend processes are truly astounding! Moreover, the nearly effortless automation it offers greatly enhances its efficiency and functionality.

What do you dislike about Retool?

In reality, there wasn't much to address. The only challenge I encountered was the necessity of purchasing a new laptop, as my previous one proved too sluggish to handle this system. However, since acquiring my new laptop, everything has been running smoothly without any issues.

What problems is Retool solving and how is that benefiting you?

The operational tool we utilize is essential for ensuring the seamless functioning of our entire platform, accommodating various user stories and the inclusion of different types, such as master users and matches. Its significance in maintaining smooth operations cannot be overstated.

"Excellent!"
What do you like best about Retool?

I like Retool due to the fact that is such a great tool to work with and to be honest, it has made my life. Without Retool, my job would be impossible and I would not be able to provide excellent customer service based on the customers' inquiries. I have never thought that such a well-designed tool would be so easy to understand and will be the pinnacle of managing my work, such as upgrading subscriptions and managing the subscription members as well.

What do you dislike about Retool?

Even if I would try to find a down sight of this amazing tool, that would be impossible. The first time I worked with Retool I was so relieved that my work would be a lot easier with it.

What problems is Retool solving and how is that benefiting you?

As difficult as I thought it will be, managing subscriptions with Retool, and all the other uses, such as upgrading, being able to find the Serial Number of the product we are selling, and knowing it a subscription is active or not appears to be a piece of cake, and everything is very well-designed.

"Reetool, a tool that always will help with processes to make them easier and compacted"
What do you like best about Retool?

You can take a lot of actions from Retool, from taking control of some user's pages or information, also responding to processes that need a hand by the support team

What do you dislike about Retool?

It's not that well organized so you have to learn the pathways to go to the necessary tools, also sometimes the tools that need to be used it get blocked and you can't use it

What problems is Retool solving and how is that benefiting you?

To block drivers for the stores that require it, or to request a particular assignment for a driver or a customer, it's simple and easy to make this assignment or tasks

I appreciate the fact if you can do it in javascript retool will let you report on it. Substantially cheaper than competition.

Not as executive friendly in that if the C-Suite wants data it isn't easy for them to self serve it as in other platforms.

"Make quick internal tools for power users"
What do you like best about Retool?

As a (mostly) backend engineer, I find Retool to be one of the best tools to quickly implement an internal tool that business users can use. I've never seen a similar tool before, and it blew my mind the first time I saw a demo! The best feature would be the easy switch between staging and prod environments.

What do you dislike about Retool?

Since the initial learning curve is so low, your first Retools will be inefficient. Take the time and learn the Version Control features and how to debug queries.

What problems is Retool solving and how is that benefiting you?

Retool lets non-front-end people create functional websites.
