About Retool is the AI-native enterprise app development platform where teams build and ship production-ready apps — at AI speed, with enterprise governance built in.

However your team builds, every app lands in Retool with RBAC, SSO, audit logging, and your existing permissions already in place. Retool connects to databases, APIs, LLMs, and external tools out of the box.

Pros from Real Users Pros For our internal workflows and tooling, we now use retool for everything. It is super easy and quick to get our critical operations workflows built. Excellent support from their team too!		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Generally easy to use though there are nuances to the platform you need to learn. They are open to feedback to make changes. Otherwise the platform does what it says it will do, allows you to publish apps to iOS and Android simultaneously. I've looked at a lot of similar tools and this one is the most robust. Cons They mainly have a chat support system though they also have account managers at pro levels, that being said account management could use a lot of work to have the best experience using the platform. There are nuances to learn around the limitations of the platform - images needing to be converted to Base64, limitations to their data viewer grids etc. But they have a good community that often has workarounds.
