is this for real? (usable on a production like system)
Yes it is for real. Some small “advertisements” for their paid product is there in the UI, but you quickly forget about them.
What are the features? (Only view, deploy)
In cluster
Installed charts
All revisions of that chart
Update to arbitrary version (latest is default)
Previous provided values will be added by default on upgrade
Rollback
History
Diff
Overview of k8s objects running in the cluster (and their reported health)
For your helm repos
What is the benefit of it?
Soooo easy to install! Helm plugin, and start it and you are running
No additional configuration is needed. If you have a kubeconfig and helm installed, you are good.
No helm knowledge is needed.
Good overview
Provides a build in way to run Trivy security scanning.
UI centered around Helm, which can make it a better experience than OpenLens from a chart point of view.
Not GitOps enabled.
Tool is in version v1.3.3, which is a bit of a shame, because the scope of the tool is rather limited.
The personas for this are Ops people with limited experience with Helm, that quickly can get an overview of the state of the charts installed. The “ease of use” can also be a hindering factor in the long run for actual getting to know how things are working underneath.
OpenLens provides a raw k8s overview of your cluster with limited Helm parts, but stronger on the individual helm objects.

If time permits, what are alternatives? (Portainer)
Research should be conducted on the training infra.
