Keneds - Alloy 2 is my go to effect for a great number of my tracks. I use it in the ProChannel in an FX Chain.
No question there are a ton of awesome compressors, EQs, and other stuff like limiters available on the market and many excellent ones included in Sonar.
What I like about Alloy 2 first off is that it sounds great generally. But secondly, unlike mixing and matching the various compressors and EQs you can try out, Alloy 2 has very good ones of each of those - and Alloy 2 comes with presets. The presets are a handy timesaver. You pick one based on your idea about the sound you're after, and the preset pulls together a combination of modules that get you started on that sound. You can adjust from that as a starting point.
So it's good. There's an excellent Groove 3 tutorial on it available.
