Pretty good SCM overall. Perforce has very good tech support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Helix Core?

Perforce have some well known limitations that have to do with the origins of the product.

Also a couple things in the client software could be improved.

Overall, it works well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Centralizing the source code for the division. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
