Top Rated Helix Core Alternatives
1. You can use Helix VCS as is for keeping version control of software. You can also use the Helix VCS server by installing a middle-ware, which gives you the capability of git command line to access the repository.
2. We also used the "Forwarding Replica Servers" for distributed sites. If you use ClearCase Multi-sites, you will realize that the designed from Helix VCS is maintenance free. You only need to setup it up once and you're done. As for ClearCase Multi-sites, you are required to learn how to use the ClearCase Mastership.
3. The final thing I want to mention is the support from Helix VCS support team is second to none. Making a great product and the support team is paramount in a "Mission Critical Application" in the software industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has been very reliable for us. Diff tools are easy and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some users have a hard time when they run into errors and difficulty resolving issues independently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The upgrade service cost next to nothing and the upgrade to latest version, with Swarm added, is much more stable than my previous version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I could not be more happy with how the upgrade was run so professionally and with all questions answered as we went along. The gentleman that helped me was superb. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love the interface! It's extremely simple to find what you are looking for and use it to complete tasks and the ability to easily track assets makes it one of the best products available for version control on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not a fan of how licenses are limited based on purchasing (given 6 for a standard license - others MUST be purchased in groups of 5 and not individually). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to have multiple versions of source stored at one time has helped us accurately keep track of our releases. Functionality which allows more than one developer to have the code checked out and still update all versions properly has eliminated the issues we had with bugs or incompatible code getting released to the field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We found that because of the resources required, it was most efficient to have the developers run their own development environment locally instead of on the network. We had to work out how to do periodic backups of their PCs to ensure that we didn't lose any code before check-ins were done. Once we got this worked out, we were able to ensure that all of their work was retained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
P4 Helix Core is a battle-tested solution that supports large file systems. All of the standard and advanced features are here including branching, merging, diffing, file locking and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
GUI Client is too basic and won't detect local file changes automatically. This makes missing file checkins or misunderstandings about latest version vs. local version very confusing, especially for non-engineers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Robust archive and versioning solution that is scalable with our business Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lack of a defined workflow for streams cost us time to develop and is difficult to train and onboard our specific use of the Helix Core software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The initial setup is relatively easy and you'll be up and running in minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For artists, it's a little bit difficult to get their heads around how it works. It also requires some more complicated steps to set up additional (sometimes necessary) features. It would be great if there was a floating license option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
