    Computer Software

Easy to use, scalable and fast

  • August 22, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Native support for DVCS is my favorite feature with streams being an equal. I cannot state enough how important it is having a stable version control system that does not lose your history and shows you what streams have to be updated by changes made by other users.
What do you dislike about the product?
My biggest grip is with p4v for macOS, in which you can connect to a DVCS, but the connection only works once and after that, there are failures reported by the app that does not seem to be addressed by Perforce.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Development of iOS and macOS apps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Understand that p4helix supports not just p4 but other systems like git and svn.

I tested the Helix platform and found it to work as described and fit the needs of the business at the time.
What do you dislike about the product?
There were not many things to dislike, for budget constraints we were unable to proceed with the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It greatly helped us with the version control portion of our code.

Excellent Customer Service Backs up Solid VCS

  • August 22, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Rapid and thorough support experience - every time I have a problem they're always on hand and useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Error logging not thorough enough - sometimes problems don't really seem to log at debug levels sufficient to indicate where an issue may lie.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This provides excellent version control with a suite of tools and API's to give ease of access.

Everything you need from version control for larger projects.

  • August 22, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Being able to shelve changes and unshelve them on other branches and other machines is fantastic.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI can be a little slow. The fuel gauge in the bottom right of the window seems to bear no relation to reality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a huge code and data solution which Helix easily swallows and versions for us quite happily.

High Performance Version Control for heavy lifting!

  • August 22, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Perforce can handle heavy artifacts like it is cakewalk and the security settings along with permission system is really comprehensive, best suited for large organizations which need good security.
What do you dislike about the product?
The distributed features are not inherent to the VCS and traditionally it is a Client-Server VCS remodeled to copy features from git. I feel there should be more self-innovated features rather than just copying git.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am helping our client secure their source code by providing a secure alternative for storing source code and artifacts in a safe place.


    Computer Software

Finally version control for our digital assets!

  • August 22, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ability to roll back to a distinct point in development. The free Proxy Server.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes administration of Helix Server is a bit complicated and often involves support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saving time by being able to roll back to certain versions. Better continuous delivery.


    Computer Games

Perfect for Game Development

  • August 22, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Our repository is very large due to the various binaries we store. This eliminates many of our other options out there. Our studio of veteran game developers have been working with P4 throughout their professional careers. After a brief stint with SVN and Git, it was nice to come back home to P4.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish P4 had its own depot hosting service that could accomodate out very large repository
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Depot for code, art assets, and binaries
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Amazon AWS EC2 with elastic block storage

Perforce performance is good with with Helix

  • August 22, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
P4V made life easy with visual version control.
Added Swarm review improved our code quality.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some times it asks for P4V password while doing some operations. But there is no way to authenticate password. Only way is to change password.
Swarm is good, for big teams there are high chances same file modified by other people same time.
After Swarm review approved and if we merge others changes it asks for review again. This blocks our check-in for review again delays our development time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Version control for many models by branching same code. Merge restrictions for Integration branches etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is easy to learn and use.
Amazing features needed for developers and organizations with big number of people.

Enterprise level centralized Version Control System

  • August 21, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
Without proper replica servers, a centralized perforce server can be slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Efficient exchange and tracking of IP in a large organization.
Faster development on multi site projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Perforce works well in an enterprise environment especially with a lot of large files.
