Feature:
Kind of overwhelming at first, but the presets help you understand the features and how they interact.

Quality:
Stable, responsive, reasonable CPU usage

Value:
$200 for this kind of sound is ridiculously cheap.

Sound:
Unbelievable sound quality for the price and for the range of improvements it can make in your final mix. The individual components are really useful and sound great on their own, too...for example, the Mastering Reverb is way better than all the cheesy reverbs in Logic Express.

Ease of Use:
You can start from the dozens of presets and get a good-sounding master in about 5 minutes.

Overall:
If you have any interest in making decent-sounding demos or home studio tracks, as I do, then it's pretty indispensable. Dunno what I did without it...

Feature:
Works with VST and AU what else you need? The master reverb section is hella cool. You can single out low and high frequencies to be effected. EQ and everything is great TOP NOTCH

Quality:
Never had a problem. For what it is it cant be beat.

Value:
I would give this an 11 if I could!

Desirability:
It def looks cool with the graphic eq and interface. People ask me "what does that do?" all the time.

Sound:
Im giving this an 8 because its not going to give you as quality of a master as a studio by any means. For what it is it gets a 10.

Ease of Use:
Easy as pie to use. Morons could get big improvements in minutes.

Support:
iZotope is a great company, and Ive needed no support but have heard good things.

Overall:
For a mastering pug this is top notch. Again its not as quality as getting your track professionally mastered, but the cost does not even compare whatsoever.

Feature:
It's an all-in-one. Normally, all-in-ones tend to skimp on each of the modules, so they can get everything to "fit" in one plugin, but Ozone works well, through and through. You have complete control.

Quality:
64-bit processing is higher than just about anything out there, and the additional bits really make a difference for processing. With the great-sounding MBIT+ dither, you don't have to worry at all about the conversion process back to 16-bit.

Value:
Amazing value for $200. There are single plugins that cost more and don't do as much as Ozone (and certainly don't do it as well).

Sound:
Very clean, and version 3+ has more algorithm choices, if you don't want it to be quite as clean. The MBIT+ dither used in Ozone beats any other dither when it comes to headroom, sound, and shaping.

Feature:
The presets that come with it are great and work well with just a few tweaks with just about anything. There's also tons of presets to download from the website.

Quality:
I can't really imagine something thats all that much better of a mastering plugin. Great buy.

Value:
$200 is alot for a plugin, but its worth it.

Sound:
I used this application for every song. Any mix will become better once you throw this plug-in on it. Even after I completely finish mixing a track and think it sounds the best it could, I'm proven wrong with this. Any thing you can imagine is achieveable with Ozone.

Ease of Use:
I don't get whats so hard to figure out about this program. Once I installed it, I just opened up either Cubase or Fl Studio and it was available as one of the vst plug-ins. You only get out of it what you put in also. If you don't know how to really work a compressor or read a frequency spectrum then you're wasting your time buying this product. Learn to work a lower end multiband compressor, limiter or equalizer before paying for this.

Support:
Never needed them.

Feature:
Outstanding features and control over most aspects of processing and sound. Each component can function well on it's own (bypassing the others) so it's like getting a number of plug-ins for the price of one. And, they all sound great solo!

Quality:
Outstanding for the price. As I mentioned, it does not quite compare to classic gear costing thousands, but it still sounds great.

Value:
Incredible value. Perhaps the best music processing software value on the market today.

Desirability:
Looks good. Wish you could resize the window.

Sound:
Sound quality is excellent. Of course, it does not quite compare to classic hardware by Neve, Avalon, etc..., but for the price it comes unbelievably close.

Ease of Use:
Extremely easy to use. The presets are good and help to get results quickly. I like to start with a preset that sounds good and then tweak it to make it sound great.

Support:
Never had to contact company. Software has worked flawlessly.

Overall:
Awesome product!

Feature:
Seems to have excellent festures but they're nearly unusable by anyone except doctoral audio engineers

Quality:
This I leave blank because there's no way to know, the interface and instructions are so terrible, and lacking in self- or cross-reference

Desirability:
Looks great visually. Ratings mean nothing however

Sound:
Sound potential very good

Ease of Use:
The user interface is AWFUL. User "manual" is worse. Try interpreting 5,000 year old Mesopotamian cuneiform fragments spread over 1000 years and 1000 miles and you'll get the idea. There isn't even an 'all clear' or 'resort to default' command ANYWHERE except in one tiny area, and once the user tries something they're stuck with it every time they open Ozone 3, no matter what else is tried.

Support:
Time will tell. Past experiences were interesting in that they acknowledged the worst failings of their interface and user manual very quickly.

Overall:
Bills itself as user friendly. It is anything but. Pretty but almost useless graphics to anyone but a quantum physicist, and even a doctoral audio engineer would have trouble with the arbitrariness and lack of explanation of it.
