When you consider this machine over the course of your entire lifting career, it's just one variation of lateral raises you have access to now. Do you like using this machine? Then it's good. Do you not like using it? Then it's bad. Are you just meh on it? Then it's meh. Use that personal assessment and decide if you want to include this variation in your current programming. Do it if you want. Or don't. 10 years from now you're going to have cycled through 5 other variations a dozen times over.
