Honeywell VDEV always seemed more accurate than Thales, IMHO. Making sure you've got up-to-date descent winds in helps. If a Thales FMGC you can modify the managed target during descent which will start giving relevant guidance again.

However, at low level and intermediate configuration it's very good, easily sufficient to approximate the vertical guidance you'd get from final approach mode and handy for visual approaches.
