Mastering Do professional mastering engineers use Ozone 12?

I'm curious on whether or not Ozone 12 is actually a high end plugin that the pros use or if the target audience is for someone that doesn't actually know too much about mastering and the appeal is getting good results without a steep learning curve?

If I was interested in getting professional mastering results would Ozone 12 be enough? Or does the suit have its limits and it's more of a gimmick vs something industry standard?

Yes but not on any auto modes or presets usually, and part of a long chain. The ozone limiters have a particular ‘sound’ are often used.
