Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used Retool to build our admin panel. This means it's important for us and used every day by multiple people in our org.

Pros

  • Ease of use - someone with small amount of experience can use it.
  • Adaptability - you can build a lot of things with it.
  • Reliability - works quite well.

Cons

  • Loading speed - not sure if this is just us, but in my experience, it's not the fastest loading platform.
  • More customization with colors and fonts.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you need to build an admin panel or any other backend system, Retool is the right tool for you.

Powerful Low Code App Builder

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I needed to create an app which utilizes Google Sheet data as a backend. Retool halps me connect Gsheet and use the data across my app. They also provide ability to 'transform' the data by using JS Transformers. Since I am not that great with frontend design, Retool has helped me with that regrard by offering prebuilt UI components like Cards, Dropdowns, Tables which I use in my app to display data.

Pros

  • Connect to Gsheet as a backend data
  • No Code front End Design
  • Ability to trasnform/modify data on the go

Cons

  • Could offer more 'better looking' front end UI componenets to make apps even better

Likelihood to Recommend

I feel it is best suited for internal apps (and they advertise it as such). If you have data in Gsheet then this makes one of the best choice to build your internal apps. Costing wise also I feel they offer generous free tier and then you can scale as per need. One thing I would like to see is more pre-built UI elements (modern looking)
