If you have the capital, it's the best of the bunch

What do you like best about the product?
Of the three best known managed Airflow options (MWAA, Cloud Composer, Astronomer), I think Astronomer is the most streamlined and easy-to-use. The Docker image/runtime is well thought out, and the hybrid managed Dataplane option has sensible ways of doing things and removes the burden of maintaining the deployment. I love the Astro CLI and how easy it is to customize the base Airflow image they provide. The docs are good and they are closest to the actual core Airflow community.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricier than the other two, but IMO the extra features are well worth it. Charging by task run also requires care. Outside of pricing/cost though... it's great. I gave them a 9 instead of a 10 because of the cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Workflow orchestration/data pipelines.
