What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Complete and reliable file version control solution for our software project that supports small and large teams.

The initial setup is relatively easy and you'll be up and running in minutes.

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.

Unreal integration and version control.

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Robust archive and versioning solution that is scalable with our business
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Code starage time is greatly reduced ad it is now part of a Unfied workflow. We now have confidence that we have a backup of the deployed version of our code and configuration for every system we deploy. Searching for files is lightning fast compared to just using a network shared drive. This is also totally scalable as our team of coders grow.
