Thomas P.: My name is Thomas. I'm an SEO Manager/Web Developer. I work for a company that's in the tourist industry and hospitality industry, and I rate Retool 5/5. Before Retool, we used predominantly in-house built tools, which over time was very time-consuming and in order to access the range of online APIs we needed to get our data out and have a little bit more advanced usage of tools, admin tools, and that's where Retool really came into play. Retool was very appealing because it was a one-stop solution to attaching a lot of external APIs, and we use it predominantly to process our customer data and with the integrated REST APIs, they have their databases and the ease of use of constructing tools to do pretty much whatever you want was a very, very good reason to adopt Retool as an admin platform. What was very attractive to Retool instantly was the fact that it was so easy and quick to develop internal tools via their components. Some pre-written, some you can develop yourself, but it was very, very simple and very, very quick, which is also cost-effective. Retool on the whole is widely adoptable in any shape or form, no matter what the nature of the business. The fact that you can tie into external and internal APIs to process data and then integrate that to a predefined workflow or a customizable workflow is really a great tool for businesses of any size.
