This colorimeter/sensor/calibrator is significantly easier to use than my old one. It is much more compact. I am very pleased with the ease of installation, ICC profile creation and ease of application to the NVidia graphics card my new computer uses.
An update: I bought a Dell XPS 17 with an OLED screen and the SpyderX Pro did not work. I went online and found that many people are having problems color-calibrating this model of computer with various colorimeters so it is not just a SpyderX problem. I then put in a request to Datacolor for help, asking them which model would work better. I received an email from Switzerland. Rather than getting me to buy a new colorimeter, they sent step by step detailed instructions on how to get SpyderX Pro to work with this computer. It worked right away - great, timely technical help.
The calibration process is going to take some time for anyone to get the most out of it. the best results was obtained by resetting the monitor to factory defaults, followed by adjusting the brightness levels whenever the calibration program says so. if results are weird or not quite good enough you then need to tweak the monitor to use a different light temp level. so far I've not gotten off the 'assistant' part of the install, and so far its done its job.
The elite version is a wee bit on the pricy side, but if you do any photography work it is definitely something you ought to consider.
Anyway... The software is lacking in usability. It works, but it's slow and a little cumbersome. It was frustrating for me to go through and manually calibrate each monitor, thinking that the calibrations would be used to sync all three, but just make adjustments, only to have to entirely redo all the calibrations and then sync them. It's an example of somewhere they could be a little more clear about what does what. Not a big deal, but it did eat an entire afternoon to get comfortable with it--the actual calibration process is fairly slow.
My biggest gripe is that fact that I need a software key for when I just bought what is essentially a $200 **hardware** key. If I didn't own your expensive device, I wouldn't even need this software... what the hell? This is the kind of thing that is usually done to prevent people from buying and selling the product as used, but there's no other verification, other than to link it to an email, but if that's already been done...? All you have to do is tell the person you sell it to what the key is. If they forget, they have to go to you rather than Spyder, but whatever. I don't think that's Spyder's intention, necessarily (please don't get any ideas!), but rather just some kind of delusion from the software engineer. It's still completely unnecessary and you may not think it matters, but it caused me problems.
Yeah, they include one in the box, but you have to link it to an email. And after a year of forgetting the key was in the box, the box got recycled in a cleaning phase. But blessed be! The good lords at Spyder have blessed me with an alternative: I can send a request to have the key that was registered to my email sent to my email! Or can I...
It was Friday night when I first requested my activation key. They tell me my key has been sent right away! Not in my inbox. Not in spam. Not in any of Google's auto categories. Wait until Saturday night, still no sign of the email, so I request it again. Again, I look and cannot find it. I must wait. And wait is what I do. Sunday morning, no sign. I send the request again. And again 2 more times that day. No answer. They must have a human manually verify these requests, I ponder. It is the weekend; maybe I'll have better luck Monday. Monday morning. Request sent. No response. All day I wait and all night. 10 PM monday night. I try to request the key One. More. Time. before ultimately giving up. 2 seconds later, the key is in my inbox.
What the hell. Please remove the need for an activation key. It is absolutely silly.

Es mejor calibrar con Displaycal, que es gratis. Tendrás que instalar los drivers del SpyderX a través del programa, pero es sencillo.
I used the provided software on MacOs Sonoma and everything worked as expected.
