Light presets and the controls over light attribute Is much better and easy than Arnold light presets Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
render time is high but although if you are looking for realistic and Crisp render compared to Arnold It gives way better Renders Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The results are great. The shaders that pixar have compiled are clearly all very well done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Alike many other pieces of software, Renderman does have quite a bit of a learning curve. This isn't really an avoidable problem but definitely the uptake of new users could probably have an easier induction period with regards to the learning tools. Though if you just need something quickly for a project, there are other options that might suit you better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IT is not integrated into Maya, It takes much more time for rendering, compares with other renders. maybe it works for big companies, but for the individual artist, I think it's not gonna work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
