Anyone actually using Aqua Security in production for more than a year?

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for a while, learning a lot from you all. 😊

We're a small e-commerce shop, and our dev team has been pushing to adopt a container security platform. Aqua Security keeps coming up in our research. The features look amazing, but honestly, it seems like a massive step up from our current (frankly, basic) security setup. I'm a bit overwhelmed trying to figure out if it's the right fit.

I see a lot of reviews and case studies, but they often feel like they're from huge enterprises. I'm really curious to hear from teams that are more mid-sized, maybe even smaller shops like ours.

So, for anyone who's been using Aqua in production for a year or more:
* What was the onboarding and learning curve *really* like? Our team is smart but stretched thin.
* Do you find you're using all the features, or does it become something you set and mostly forget (aside from alerts)?
* Has it caused any friction or slowdown in your development/deployment cycles? That's a big concern for us.
* Any "gotchas" or things you wish you'd known before committing?

I'd love to hear about real, day-to-day experiences, not just the sales pitch. The pricing isn't exactly trivial for us, so I want to make sure we're going into this with our eyes wide open. Thanks in advance for any wisdom you can share!
