Quick breakdown

Pro

  • Best GUI on Windows
  • Cross platform (although we only have windows license)
  • Preconfigured to work well with 3D stereo projection
  • Best segmentation editor with very intuitive ease of use

Con

  • Proprietary code
  • limited future due to extremely rare usage in the field and lack of community support.
  • Closed source

Bottom Line

If you need to segment any structures, I recommend the use of Amira over Slicer 3D. However, if you wish to do anything highly innovative or quick preview/render, don't even touch Amira as the learning curve is a bit steep. Its segmentation capability has been very well explored by the individuals in the lab.
