Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In my opinion, Perforce Helix Core is the most confusing and inefficient code management repo software that I have ever used. I often get stuck in unrecoverable mode in the desktop app, so I just create a new workspace to start from scratch. In my experience, it's contra-intuitive and hard to find details on the Internet how to resolve issues. I don't recommend using Perforce Helix Core. I think you would be much happier with any Git flavor.

Pros and Cons

In my experience, Wasting time
In my experience, Killing motivation
In my experience, Causing huge anger

In my opinion, Give up and switch to Git

Return on Investment

In my experience, Totally negative impact on my productivity.

Alternatives Considered

GitLab and GitHub

In my opinion, Perforce Helix Core is on a top level of irritation and anti-user experience. In my experience, I can't do simple things like 1 word file edits, while I have never been confused when using something based on Git.
