Layer based feature made it more easy for me as my background and experience is on Adobe After Effects. It is very handy when it comes create elements and use it for motion graphics. Lighting and Texturing is easy also you can find lighting prebuilt setup and texture for your elements and scene. Creating texture is also easy. You can easy create model or bring prebuilt models to implement it in your animation. Implementing the model to animation is easy. You can easily integrate your animation with other software like after effects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Beginers without experience may find difficult to use. Need proper knowledge of 3d modeling, lighting and textureing. Need proper knowledge of animation principles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cinema 4D is very intuitive, easy to use and there are a lot of videos and tutorials that can help and show how to start and also to advance, becoming as skilled as you want.
It is also easy to use (I used on Windows) and the installation process is straight forward.
You can create 3d models starting from shapes, sculpt, modify the shape, create textures and materials. Whatever you need, is embedded in the software! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a drawback, it should be said that there are other softwares that allow you to create 3D models that are free and can give more or less the same capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Presets in Cinema 4D are great. It's interface is definitely one of the highlights for me as a traditional graphic designer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Render times. HA! The power (resources) needed to run scenes in full-detail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maxon has evolved Cinema 4D into the leading 3D Modeling software for a reason. Not only is it capable of creating incredible 3D scenes, but the physics it’s able to recreate as well as the dynamic and photorealistic rendering (with added plugins,) it can render our… Its incredible.

The price point is ridiculous. Especially when Blender, an open source freeware, is almost, if not just as robust and good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cinema 4D is most User friendly 3D software.
The best part of C4D is it's MoGraph and Dynamics. It is way too easy than other 3D softwares. compare to 3DS Max and Maya, Cinema 4D is more fast and Easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cinema 4D has very less to Dislike though but if asked I think It need to work more on VFX pipeline as it's working more on motion graphics but have compositing and tracking options also in c4d which need to be more developed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a power user of this software since R15 - this is hands down the best software package for all things motion graphics, to creating and preparing lightweight solid & organic models for interactive / AR / VR experiences. Along with valuable software integrations and plugins, C4D will be the best tool for an agile visual graphics workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I dislike the most about C4D is how Maxon has changed their pricing to a subscription model as of 2019(?) for new releases - it doesn't impact my day to day work too much, but I miss the days when perpetual licenses were a thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can create brilliant assets for implementing inside motion graphics, AR in particular Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very complicated at times, and a severe lack of online courses or tutorials Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

C4D offers various features and tools for modelling, texturing, lighting, animation, and rendering. It can handle various tasks, from simple 3D modelling to complex visual effects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While Cinema 4D has a wide range of built-in tools, some advanced features and specialised workflows may require additional third-party plugins, which can add to the overall cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simplicity of the software and the efficiency and the quality of graphics we can create out of it. The tools like Mograph is impressive and the integration with After effects is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Redshift is too costly. The bundle of Maxon One is very costly, though it has many plugins. There is no proper trial version too. Only disadvantage I see is the support for Redshift and no other renderers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
