My company wants me to learn CAM. Should I invest time into Solidworks CAM or something different?

I've heard in the past that Solidworks CAM isn't great and that MasterCAM is the go to. Is that still true? We already have SW CAM so I'm hesitant to tell the higher ups we need to shell out for something different if we don't need to. I'm currently only tasked with getting an introductory class to it so I don't need to make a final decision one way or the other but I don't want to waste time/money if it won't be worth it. Our company only uses 3 axis machines and I'm their CAD designer.
