Amazing Product with Amazing Support from and Amazing Company
What do you like best about the product?
The support on their product! They are unparalleled and quick to respond to any question (even if the fault is not their own). Their team is always friendly and willing to help. It is a pleasure to work with them. Please never change! The slack community is a HUGE benefit for us users. The Lenses product is amazing and I am positive it has drastically increased our development times using Kafka.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of KStream functions that work in the KSQL Studio, but not the KStreams option. I would LOVE to build custom functions for KStreams, but I hear that is coming sooner than later! Also wish the product had a few more stream reactor connectors and configs for the connectors. Would also love a "data type" converter inside of the UI to convert between string, Avro, JSon ,etc. formats.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Setting up kafka pipelines and transformations. Our development time has been improved drastically having the lenses UI. The tool also helps us maintain our kafka data, governance and security models as well. The tool is really becoming the center focus of our data ops team.
A very respectable add-on for the enterprise-grade Kafka cluster!
What do you like best about the product?
The view into the data in our Kafka topics, the ability to "scan through" the records in a topic and query it for troubleshooting.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's no free/open version (but there is a trial version and local developer version). This makes the adoption curve a bit steep for small-scale deployments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using Lenses to enable our developers to effectively adopt and work with Kafka. The security features and data protection policies paves the way for a wide user base. Finally, the people behind Lenses (Landoop) are great to work with!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the Lenses Box docker image locally. This image can also works as a general and lightweight Kafka development environment.

Lenses is one of those tools that when you get accustomed to you really can't live without.
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to quickly filter the messages inside the Kafka topics by SQL.
P.S: the autocompletion suggestions are invaluable.

What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that the SQL view to filter the topics messages only works with websockets enabled.
