Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Other than Darktable, if I were to pick a commercial package it would be DxO, it’s a complete package of all the usual photography tools and gives really good results.
  • They're on by default for me in DXO and I prefer it that way.
  • Highly recommend ANY of the many viable alternatives to Adobe products. Affinity, DXO, ON1, Corel's suite, The Gimp -Darktable.... there are TONS of fantastic options out there outside of the Adobe paradigm.
  • I use DXO. It’s very powerful.
  • I've used an older version of DXO years ago and it was nice software. I haven't really used it recently but it's considered to be a good package. At the time that I used it, DXO had some of the best noise reduction in the game and I beli...

Cons

  • I will be sticking with DXO after spending so much time with it, it's a bit of a cumbersome program out of the box, but you can set it up to be pretty personalized.
  • Compare that to Capture One or Lightroom or DxO, which are stuck with the same old tone mapper they started with. And quite flawed ones, too, compared to Darktable.
  • It is way less intuitive and automatic than others you mentioned but in return gives you really a lot of control. In the other hand learning curve is less steep than for Darktables. But if you consider playing with self scanned film, go...
  • On top of that I want to name some one time payment options. Capture One, Luminar, DxO and if you want to switch out Photoshop, take a look at Affinity.

But if you consider playing with self scanned film, go for Darktables, handling negative in the one thing DxO can’t do

I've used an older version of DXO years ago and it was nice software. I haven't really used it recently but it's considered to be a good package. At the time that I used it, DXO had some of the best noise reduction in the game and I believe it still does.

I've never used DXO but have read that it's always been faster than LRC for denoising.

DXO. Their price policy is a bit intransparent if you want all features, but the software is great, has the best noise reduction.
