Just an anecdote about this company's commercial policy. I am a pro photographer (real estate and events) and business has almost stopped in 2020. I sent them an email asking if they could extend their promotional update offer until things got better for me (and I'm not the only one concerned, of course). Negative answer." Unfortunately, we do not offer payment in installments or payment terms." This pandemic period is so revealing.

It's expensive and somewhat slow but is extremely easy to operate and allows to create your own style and save this as presets. It offers local enhancements. This is a good starting point for your automated workflow, starting with RAW. - For me it was more intuitive to use than e.g. Adobe products or Capture1, although they may offer the same functions or quality.

BUYER BEWARE!!! I purchased an upgrade to v3.1.1.29 just two weeks ago. I received a, "New update email" but the link won't work? So, I tried going into my DxO Photolab and clicking on the update there, too ... also NO JOY? So, I searched this, their website and in order to download the update they want ANOTHER $111.43 for mw to increment to v3.1.1.31, on top of the full update price that I paid two weeks ago! Their is NO END TO THEIR GREED! I'm going to drop them and buy CaptureOne 20 Pro, instead. I tried it (for free) and it gives far better results with less work!

BUYER BEWARE!!! I purchased DxO PhotoLab 2 along with DxO Nik Collection version 1 just three months ago. DxO just updated the Nik Collection to version 2 and will not provide an update for existing owners of the Nik Collection unless PhotoLab 2 is purchased all over again (ie forcing existing PhotoLab 2 owners to buy two copies of the same software) in order to just update their copy of the Nik Collection from version 1 to version 2. Shame on you DxO, I will never purchase anything from your company again.
