What do you like best about the product?
Lenses provides a quick inside view of all you data flow.

It has helped our junior team coming from an SQL background to understand Kafka and its streaming nature much faster flattening the learning curve.

Personally, I love the support. Especially through slack the response is very quick and hands on.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike. Lenses provides us an inside view of our streaming data in a way we could not do before.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lenses helps us create proof of concepts quickly using the SQL Processors and also we use it as a Kafka training tool for our engineers that haven't used Kafka in the past.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start off with the Docker Box installation to play around and join Slack. Once anyone gets a first feel of the product he/she will be impressed. Easy to use and very insightful.
