I used it once for a very short period of time, so I can't tell you much about the pros and cons. I believe I was editing off a gigE connection, but I was cutting DV on that one, so it was really not a problem. From what I remember you'll log in and you get read and write permissions on certain volumes or was it a user account. It's really not hard to use for the editor. Not sure about the person setting it up though.
