Overall Satisfaction with Perforce

Currently, everyone on our Development team uses Perforce, including QA. It's our primary source control app.
  • It's been incredibly reliable. I can't think of a single bug I've run into in five years.
  • Helpful integration APIs that allow me to use it with other apps.
  • Its Diff tools are easy to work with and helpful.
  • The UI can be hard to navigate for people new to the product.
  • It could do with some simplification in areas such as connecting to servers, etc.
  • UI seems dated.
  • It's hard to put a number on it, but the Perforce's reliability means we never have to worry about such a central piece to our business.
  • Never having to switch version control apps means we can spend our time focusing on other aspects of our workflow.
Perforce is superior in every way to Subversion. I'm never going back.
I haven't run into any scenarios where the app wouldn't be suitable for something, but our small team depends on it and it hasn't let us down yet. I don't have any experience using it for larger teams, so I don't know if it's as useful in that respect or not.
