Compare that to the Pa@#$n NTFS product price of $21 per license, ONE LICENSE PER MACHINE, plus update fees (about $15) every time Apple issues a new macOS. There are some who say the Pa@#$n NTFS is faster, I can't say; Tuxera is 'fast enough' for my purposes; YMMV. I tried the Pa@#$n NTFS product about 5 years ago, after install and reboot, my Bootcamp disappeared
When you format a drive you will need to unmount the drive before you hit the "format" button. Also, there isn't any progress bar so just be patient, it will look like it isn't doing anything, but it will finish. I tested this on a Silicon-Power 2TB external HD and an 8GB PNY flash drive.
And a huge bonus...(at least I hadn't noticed it before if it was there) it now supports formatting to ext2/3/4. Yay!
