What do you like best about Helix Core?

Perforce is a scalable system that works well in a large organization with a lot of users and different permission requirements. Integration with third-party systems like Jenkins and Jira is good.

I like the Swarm review system and possible integration with Jenkins for blocking commits based on test builds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Helix Core?

Without proper replica servers, a centralized perforce server can be slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Helix Core:

Perforce works well in an enterprise environment especially with a lot of large files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Helix Core solving and how is that benefiting you?

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Helix Core?

1) It's so easy to learn, even artists, writers, and other "less-technical" users can get it right away; 2) It's FAST; 3) It's a very, very strong product, best I've ever tried; 4) It scales really well. One depot can handle ALL of your needs; can handle file-sizes and types that Git can only dream about; 5) The Perforce Support organization is THE BEST; 6) Free for up to 20 users; 7) up-and-running in minutes; 8) DVCS option; 9) Support. And FAST; 10) Did I mention it's FAST? And no one does Support better; 11) Their Support is FAST, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Helix Core?

They need to do a better job of letting people know how great their product is. Seriously, more people need to use it. It lets us develop better software, faster.

Up until recently, it used to be very easy to find older versions of the product. This could be pretty useful. Currently, it's much harder to find the older versions. I get that this is what companies do, and I understand that they might not want to *support* older versions, but it's really a nice thing to have if I want to do some testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Helix Core:

Take it for a test drive. Talk to Support. It's free for up to 5 users, so give it a whirl. Used to be 20, which I preferred. I think they'd be better off giving it away for free and just charging for their excellent Support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Helix Core solving and how is that benefiting you?

Its spectacular scriptability makes it easy to do continuous integration and continuous delivery. It is also easy for non-developers to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Helix Core?

The tool do it's job.

It's easy to customize it to adapt it to your need. Whether you want multiple depots, branches, workflow with intergrations, reviews or lock submit unless code is do build you can do that with little troubles.

It's scalability with clustering make it now an awesome tool that can be strong and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Helix Core?

Beginners users will get lost in the tool chain by not understanding how p4 work exactly. The concept of file workspace knowledge based on the server side is hard to assimilate for them and leading to troubles

Admin could get lost in the knowledge base that is sometime too scattered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Helix Core solving and how is that benefiting you?

All the pain of versioning files and ability to revert and jump back to a previous version. Ability to have several teams working on different feature in the same set of files without conflicts.

All what you can ask of a versioning solution but without the troubles of others Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Helix Core?

I like the speed, and handling of binary assets, and integration with Git via Git-Fusion Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Helix Core?

Git-Fusion performance is too slow, and doesn't support locking of binary assets. It's one of the last remaining things they need to fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Helix Core:

Better Git-Fusion integration. We think the new Graph depo is not in the right direction. Please improve Git-fusion and make it faster and more easy to interoperate with P4V. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Helix Core solving and how is that benefiting you?

all of our company source code, game design documents, and art is stored in Helix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Helix Core?

The software is easy to manage from an administrative standpoint. We installed and it just keeps going. I support a wide variety of apps, and this is by far the easiest to upgrade/patch. For the few times we have had to do any sort of recovery, it was also quick and painless. This product is a software administrator's dream. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Helix Core?

I wish that the platform had some sort of reporting capability. The biggest request I get from the community is asking for metrics on the repository that I can't give without some creative scripting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Helix Core solving and how is that benefiting you?

When we added Helix Swarm to our existing P4 installation we were finally able to do code review between different geographical sites efficiently. Swarm has helped standardize our code review process, and given us the ability to track our reviews more easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
