Yes it is.  As a newbie, I started off with Minergate because of the number of alt coins (most are shit, unfortunately) and its easy to use interface.  I quickly figured out I wasn't getting much out of my equipment there.  I then went to nanopool with claymore for ETH but with the difficulty increases and instability of the coin value lately, the ROI went in the tank so I stopped.  I then picked up NiceHash and frankly I like it.  Am I eking out the most I can out of my equipment?  No, but for the most part it's start and walk away.  With (3) MSI 1070s undervolted and clocked I'm seeing $5.33/day ATM.   The payout was quick and without a hitch and I appreciate the value in that.
