Waves Vocal Rider is a really nice tool.
 
 

Does the job nicely

Just got the waves vocal rider and found out that some of it's features does not work in Sonar. It is more suitable for Pro Tools.
 

Which features? It works pretty well for me.

Do you use a pop shield? As well as dealing with plosives, they are good for telling a singer where to be. They also remove the very close option, where you get a lot of variance in tone.

If you are referring to sidechaining it has been functional since x3e.  You just need to load the Vst3 version. 

This is how it looks in Pro Tools.

This is how it looks in Sonar.

Vocal Rider and Bass Rider are super good at ending endless fader rides, and pretty easy to use. I picked both up last week and am very happy about it.
 No additional fx that can change the feel and sound of your original track.

If you look at the top of each module, you will notice that the top pic has some sort of menu going across the top of 
the module while the lower pic doesn't. I wanted to use the feature where you could use it to analyze the level of the music to determine how much boost or attenuation it needs to apply to the vocals. But when I called tech support, I was told that that feature is only available when using it with Pro tools.
 

Those menus in the first pic are part of ProTools/StudioRack/Whatever host is running the plug,   not Vocal Rider. 
 
The plugin is the same regardless of the platform
