Overall Satisfaction with Retool

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.
  • Major impact - ability to build a backend system is huge.
  • Major impact - used every day by multiple people.
  • Major impact - ability to be used by less technical teammates.
Because even though it is quite intuitive it is not the best tool I have ever seen.
