**What do you like best about SuperTokens?**

The level of security features provided by this library is very extensive and also managing user sessions with this is also very easy. Implementing the library was also easy through the document they provided and also with the extensive support. They really helped me in improving the management of my sessions compared to the previous library which I was using.

**What do you dislike about SuperTokens?**

Currently caching for higher performance is not supported which I feel would have been awesome if they could add the feature with the product.

**What problems is SuperTokens solving and how is that benefiting you?**

SuperTokens provided an excellent framework to improve my user session security and also helped in managing infinitely long user sessions along with the benefit of token JWT blacklisting.
