Easy to use

Pros

It is fairly easy to use and I really love how realistic the renders look. They are so lifelike that sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between our renders and a photograph.

Cons

Sometimes it can be slow especially when I am importing SketchUp models with a lot of detail.

A fair experience overall

The renders are hyper realistic and there are multiple customization options for materials, effects and the library which I like the most.
