I used retool for an internal tool, and it let me build a dashboard on top of Postgres for others to use on the team, and it was great to build in.

The vendor was the worst we've had in our company. They coerced us into signing a massive contract which we didn't require. Their performance was abysmal and their support is horrendous."
