I love the workflow process we have set up with renaming, tagging best and worst photos (stars) then being able to select with colors.
We also use it to help find rgb vs cmyk photos when processing files for production.
I manage a team of graphic and web designers and it is actually awesome for viewing photo info like, keywords and tags, any of the metedata stored and thumbnails for quick reference. We purchased Adobe Creative Cloud and routinely use Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator so it is pretty fantastic tool in addition to those.
Pros
User friendly.
Works well in combination with it's other adobe products.
Like that's it's included in the cost of Creative Cloud.
Cons
It's a pretty good product, I'd say need less RAM when getting the files because some computers get really loud trying to process.
This seems to be fixed now but it would crash when previewing some .tif files.
Sometimes it freezes when I view a larger file but that could be a computer issue.

I love to use it when I need to rename a group of photos from one of my photographers because they named the files incorrectly. My team seems happy to use it from now and then in combination with InDesign and Photoshop.
