FYI that's only partially true. Audiolens also measures the macro and micro dynamics, and width, not just the tonal shape of a mix. (I beta tested it FYI)... When testing it I found that it really only makes sense if trying to match apples to apples (which isn't a surprise...)
That said, if you don't know how to master your own music it's not a bad option if you're mindful in how you use it.. You'd just want to be realistic in choosing references that are similar to your mix, and remember that less is always going to be more... I always found the default amount it starts with to be heavy handed, but if you dial things back to 20 or 25% of the settings it can do an ok job if you choose something similar...
Ozone's also pretty popular as a mixing tool if you weren't aware... I use different modules on different busses all of the time.
You can find a bunch of stuff on his channel about Ozone... (It's also a good idea to keep in mind that the content you see from him on YT is really just typical YT 'content'... I'm sure he's a great mastering engineer, but the bits I've seen are basic stuff...)
Anyway... People seem to project a lot of stuff on Izotope, and I suppose them being bought by NI only adds too that, regardless Ozone's a really powerful plugin suite that does actually have a long history being used in commercial mastering.

Not a mastering engineer here but sometimes I just fire up the assistant or browse through the presets for a fresh perspective on things. At the end of the day it's up to me what I want my tracks to feel and sound like and I wouldn't let an AI do make any decisions anyway.
As to the right tools for the job a good audio setup (monitors, room treatment, ...), my trusty reference tracks and taking regular breaks is more important to me than the set of plugins I'm using even though I have some preferences. YMMV.

TC System 6000
The algorithms are now available in a standalone app called Finalizer.

I checked this out...very cool! Going to try it out, I like how it's a standalone app.

This looked interesting. So what is the comparison with the TC system 6000 mastering plugins and TC system 6000 mastering analog tools.
Can you have a 20.000USD rack now as a 200USD plugin?
(people here have said 'there are no secrets in mastering', and now you see that TC system 6000 is THE secret - will the plugin do it....!)

Well, back when it came out, the algorithms were never really that expensive. You were paying for the powerful DSP and the incredible-sounding AD/DA (for the time).
