Pros

Pro
Has keyboard shortcuts

Although it's not in the same level as something like bug.n, Divvy does support the use of keyboard shortcuts to move windows about. You can even create custom shortcuts.

No longer updated

While this may work for current machines, the last beta version (to be found on the site) is from January 2016.

Con
Installer requires admin rights, installs itself to AppData of the used account

Something to consider if would be used in a restricted environment.
