I find the platform fairly straightforward and the videos and information i could find on the Quantower website was sufficient for me.
If you have any questions you can also post them here, some users might be able to help you out.
I am currently testing MotiveWave against Quantower, both the free versions and i must say MotiveWave is even better than Quantower! Very customizable, it has all the features i need (i use the R Trader Pro DOM, not the MotiveWave or Quantower DOM), and it is extremely efficient. I have 9 charts with on each one multiple alerts and an indicator running and a watchlist with 14 instruments and all of their data and it is barely using 1% of my CPU (which is a fairly old one). Quantower uses at least 25% to 30% for the exact same layout (and i had a lot of connection issues with Quantower to Rithmic lately, that is why i started looking at MotiveWave in the first place and i had none of those issues so far with MotiveWave). Last but not least, they have a support forum and support actually answers to emails, with Quantower that hasn't always been the case.
Looks like i am moving away from Quantower soon!

Interesting. MotiveWave does look like a good platform.
Do you use any tick/volume charts at all or just minute charts? Indicators?
Ninjatrader have been some said to be a 'resource hog'. I believe 25-30% CPU usage would be correct for NT8, too. It also consumes a bit of memory, although I have reserves.
Most of the time I don't have any problems, but there have been a few occasions where my charts literally lag and turn into slow-motion mode where I can see the price quotes do not match my charts.
NT8 just writes it off as a problem probably related to custom indicators or would suggest me to not have that many charts open at once.
But that's a bit of a digression. If I weren't 'married' to Ninja, I would probably have been looking for something else, but we humans are creatures of habit.
