Top Rated Helix Core Alternatives
There are three things that I especially like
- the revision graph view is excellent, and very nice to get an overview.
- p4merge visual layout
- The fact that there is no shadow folder, like in subversion or git Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The way workspace view is setup. It is very often the biggest obstacle when introducing new users.
Also, it is very annoying that there is no easy way to download something from perforce, e.g. with a oneliner. If I have the p4 commandline installed,, and credentials, I think you should be able to download something, just to current directly, e.g. like git clone and them rm .git 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.
