Pros: Pretty much Plug and Play, that is if the remote batteries are working. The interface is very responsive.
Cons: The remote arrived, but was not working. It appears the batteries were dead. This complicated what would have otherwise been a simple setup. Changing remote batteries is generally simple enough, but on the Shield TV remote the battery compartment is very well concealed. I had to find a YouTube video and even with that it was a struggle to open the compartment. Again, a one-time issue.
Overall Review: I have only had the unit for 24 hours, but no issues so far. I purchased this unit in part for the SiliconDust HDHomeRun app, which allows cable TV (or off-air TV depending on the SiliconDust tuner) and DVR recorded content to be stream within the house. The Shield TV is particularly well suited to decoding the MPEG-2 TS content that CATV system generally use. There is a Google Assistant built-in (mic in remote), although I have Echos and will therefore likely use the Alexa Skill. I have only done very basic testing of the Alexa skill (e.g., Alexa, "Go To Netflix on Shield")
