Effective Version Control
What do you like best about the product?
Coming from subversion, I appreciate the effortless branching and merging.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how history is tracked on file moves.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helix VCS provides security while making code changes to ensure previous functionality is accessible if needed.
Great VCS with poor platform support and vendor lock-in
What do you like best about the product?
Perforce is a solid VCS. Its centralized nature makes it faster and more scalable than git or mercurial, but its merge tracking is far better than Subversion's. It's very reliable too. It also comes with a decent built-in code review tool, Swarm.
What do you dislike about the product?
p4d is proprietary software, with all the attendant problems. It's needlessly difficult to install, because Perforce doesn't understand how the OSS community distributes software. Worst of all, after many years Perforce dropped support for our operating system, FreeBSD. They even accept payment for our license renewal without telling us that they were abandoning it. Now we're in a bind. We can't easily migrate away from Perforce because it stores merge tracking information in a way that is incompatible with other VCS tools. Worst of all, we have good reason to believe that newer versions of p4d aren't using any APIs unavailable on FreeBSD. So if we had source access, we could simply recompile it. But that sadly isn't an option with proprietary software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's our primary VCS. It does everything that any VCS would do.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't. Use an open-source VCS instead, or you may get trapped.
Good Experience
What do you like best about the product?
manages all digital content especially large files — using repository, and delivers files quickly to large, across distributed teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
The product User Experience sometimes complexes things. Ability to add and remove features from UI could be very helpful
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to control source code across multiple teams
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Yes
Fast and reliable version control system
What do you like best about the product?
Perforce is feature full and allows us to do pretty much what we want to do. It helps with our productivity and to manage the data of our large scale productions.
I like the UI tool (P4V) but also a the command line tool option which we use extensively in our continuous integration system.
The new Helix4Git is also a new and interesting feature within Helix Core.
Easy to administer user and group rights.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is a little bit of a learning curve when new people join our teams and they do not have Perforce knowledge. It is somewhat different from other version control systems like Git.
Not worth it if you have a smaller team with smaller projects, something like GitLab would be more suitable..

backup. it help to store backup of multiple version

Fastest source code control software on the market
What do you like best about the product?
I like the speed, and handling of binary assets, and integration with Git via Git-Fusion
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
all of our company source code, game design documents, and art is stored in Helix.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
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.
Helix VCS perforce
What do you like best about the product?
The new distributing software is really well written and very easy to use and administer. It is yet another great addition to the feature set of Perforce.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much to dislike except maybe some more UI improvements as the initial setup can take some time if you haven't done it before.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Source control and
Perforce is Industry standard for medium-large teams!
What do you like best about the product?
It's fast and easy to track the changes my team is making to our repo. I can quickly look at the history of an asset and manage a large number of branches with relative ease. Simple enough for almost anyone to use, but very powerful suite of options for customizing it to your team's needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some admin functions still require command prompts that require sifting through documentation and lots of trial and error to figure out. I wish it were easier to lock/unlock checked-out files with admin privileges.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Version control is imperative for any medium-large team working in a fast-paced development environment.
