The functionality of synchronized binary files Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How much time it takes debugging and configuring for it to work properly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Perforce is excellent for handling large binary files. It has a lot of features that help our daily game development work such as reconciling offline work, diffing changes, creating steam depots, locking files unless pushed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Helix Administration could have APIs exposed to be controlled by other languages like python and javascript Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use and integrate with reports and dashboards Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Billing ease of use is not straightforward Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Helix core/ Perforce/ P4V is a GUI based VCS which itself is very unique and easy to use once have a good understanding of it.

It is very easy to install, configure and use.

A very user friendly interface with realtime comparison of the scripts you have in your local workspace and on cloud/ depot.

Gives a detailed dashboard where you can see all the changes that have been submitted recently and a version comparison lets you know if your script is the latest or you need to pull a latest version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Initially understanding this software is a bit confusing, especially for people who has worked on GIT or BitBucket.

It doesn't have a bash window where you can send commands to upload your scripts, instead you go through the directory, create a pending checklist, put your files there and then submit.

Not used in most of indian IT companies so experience doesn't count, most organization always prefer GIT or BitBucket over helix.

Branching concept is almost negated, you get your scripts reviewed and push directly to the Depot.

No integration with pycharm or other IDEs available in market so you either have a cloud copy i.e. read only or a local copy of script in your hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stream Graphs and auto-resolving. Visual representation of the files currently checked out and need resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pretty much everything else. Merging something from a task stream to a main stream takes 5-6 steps too many. Working with workspaces and streams is a confusing mess. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The option to see all changes in different gui and command line options Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a centralized system, server is always needed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Consistent across all business units and developers. It keeps improving in ease of use and performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is expensive, and not particularly easy to work with. It does not tie in well to our BOM system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It integrates fairly well with MadCap Flare, allowing us to keep a version history of documents that we create so we can roll back if necessary. It is easy to use once you know the layout, and the check-in/check-out system is great for version control.

I also like that the desktop client lets you see your full file directory and open files from there in different programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

By default, you are allowed to check out and make changes to a file that someone else has checked out. If you don't know this and don't have exclusive checkout enabled, it's possible to lose changes that you make Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User friendly graphical tools like the Revision Graph and file history graphs.

Securely manageable single repository as well as large repositories that delivers files quickly to distributed teams.

Efficient and effect support.

I think using the graphical interface to perforce (p4v) is a more effective way to work with perforce for most users. It makes it much easier to manage multiple workspaces, change lists, branch mappings, merging and most other functions.

Time lapse tool is just fantastic

I can not live without side-by-side diff tool at a mouse click

Command line tools are powerful but needs little more experience, that comes with time.

Applying the scripts is making daily work easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nitial learning is slightly rough when you come from GIT background, as you pick it up, it becomes fun. I watched online videos from basic to advanced level and now I am comfortable using it. Everyday there is something I learn from my coworkers.

Setting up Helix server is rigorous at the first go, but if you it once, then next time it is straight forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are excellent graphical tools like the Revision Graph and the Merge Tool included.

The possibility to automate and access by scripts using command line and various API's is very useful.

There is very good support and knowledge base available.

The Swarm add-on to Perfore is exellent for collaboration and reviews but it actually should be even more tightly integrated as part of the basic product rater than an add-on.

Perforce is very good at handling large files and large repos efficiently.

The concept of a workspace and checking out files is non-intuitive and confusing to new users who are used to Git.

The convienient way of doing Rollback/Backout is good but it is very problematic when it comes to integration records (merges).

Server administration and setup gets a bit complicated when you need more advanced features like replication, broker, SSL-support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
