    While Perforce Helix is the best version control software out there, it can also be used to track your documentation, training videos and materials, and requirements. If you have strict compliance requirements, it can be used to ensure that those requirements are satisfied. Perforce Helix is incredibly flexible and can meet the needs of individual users as well as companies with thousands of users.

    It’s the Swiss Arny knife of data and email so you can move across operating systems and platforms but it isn’t dynamic if you get a setting wrong- you need to do it over again.

    Pros
    Perforce Software
    • The branching mechanisms in Perforce allow for an enormous codebase to be duplicated into release versions weekly with little impact upon things such as the speed of queries against the version control.
    • Action triggers permit such things as automated builds of software versions, dynamic messaging when issues are identified either within or prior to a build process, and much more.
    • Locking provides the ability to prevent modifications of stable, tested versions in order to ensure validity when they are released.

    • Allows you to corral different mail systems and make them compatible for migration
    • Migrates user accounts when switching from one system to another quickly.
    • Backing up data for security it is one of the best aspects of the product

    Cons
    Perforce Software
    • Perforce tends to feel backwards in how it approaches certain tasks, like branching and integrating - even once you figure out how it wants you to perform these tasks, you will likely forget when it comes around to the next time you need to do them again.
    • Perforce has a higher price tag, comparatively.
    • Perforce make some tasks very easy, and yet other tasks very difficult - it doesn't always seem to have found its target user's proficiency.

    • Needs to be dynamic in set up
    • Need to be able to correct settings after set up- you need to ensure everything is correct because you cannot change it once you set it up.
    • Maybe offer AI based help?

    We are fully committed to our use of Perforce. It works well within our organization and our desire to share our code base with our customers. Their support staff are responsive, inquisitive, and eager to improve their software. I feel like we have a direct line to their design/feature team as they often solicit our feedback.

    Usability
    Perforce Software
    With Perforce Helix, you can use it via the command line, via P4V, or any of the other APIs included with the product. It is extremely easy for new users to get up and running. Users of Perforce Helix only have to pull in the files of interest to them. Also, Perforce is very easy to script and integrate into your CI/CD pipeline. Streams allows you to have pinpoint control of your workflow, and P4Search is the absolute best--I wish Perforce (the company) would talk more about this. It is absolutely fabulous!

    It’s fantastic when it works but it’s a little too rigid in wanting everything set up perfectly upfront with no wiggle room to change a setting afterwards

    Reliability and Availability
    Perforce Software
    In our large environment, Perforce is rarely "down". We have regular maintenance windows and from time to time Perforce can feel a little slow, but its always available. Tech support has always worked with our engineers and IT department to make sure that any real performance or stability issues are addressed quickly.

    Perforce Software
    I had two representatives from Perforce contact me after downloading it but never responded when I had questions. I also had a difficult time finding good training material for getting started. There is a lot of available support material when running into issues, though, because of how many large companies use it.

    Perforce Software
    This rating is related to setting up an environment from an existing Perforce repository. Initial setup of Perforce as the repository for the company was done by a separate team long prior to my inception.

    Git is great, I love Git. But it's not great for dealing with binary assets, even when using Git LFS. Locking is not as simple as on perforce. Git presents some problems on using for non-tech people it can get overwhelming and tech people have to come by and help.

    I haven’t used BDR as much but its interface is pretty straightforward.
    Errors are sometimes difficult to diagnose as their help is weak in that regard. it does the job and allows multi backups and if it’s set up properly; it can be handy.
    Managing licenses is non-existent (at least I couldn’t figure out how to best manage for ISO requirements.

    Return on Investment
    Perforce Software
    • Decreased our implementation costs by allowing versioning and back out of customizations made in the field.
    • saves developers time through automation of changes between branches - they think less of the plumbing and have more time to write code.
    • Downside is training/managing expectations of new developers who come in assuming they will use Git.

    • ROI versus time saved in manpower is top notch
    • Sometimes divisions get sold a “bill of goods” solution that isn’t right for them but they don’t realize it until it’s been implemented and then at first opportunity they want to move to something else. SysTools Migration Tools is great for that
    • My only complaint is that the set up has to be perfect and you cannot change the settings- sometimes that’s frustrating
