Overall Satisfaction with Perforce Helix Core

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Perforce Helix Core to upload and download files across our team. A place where anyone on our team can access the files and at the same time know who is working on which file so they don't work on the same file and overwrite it by accidently saving over the file.

Pros and Cons

Pros

A place to add your organizations files across all departments
syncing files on your computer
download and uploading files is fairly easy

Cons

an updated UI that is more modern
automate the process of updating files in real time so you don't have to manually refresh to see updated files
could simplify the literature in the preferences to make it more understandable of what the preferences are doing

Return on Investment

its the gold standard for game development
It does take some time to understand the workings of how to think about using Perforce Helix Core

Usability

There's a lot of room for improvement, but on the core it gets the job done, but maybe not in the most efficient or intuitive way.

Likelihood to Recommend

Its the standard for hosting an organizations files, but there is a lot of room for improvement for more throughtful design practices to help simplify the process of uploading and downloading files or checking in or checking out files. I feel there could be ways to help notify the user so instead of thinking of how Perforce Helix Core is working, Perforce Helix Core is showing intuitive visuals so that anyone can understand what's its doing without having to ask other people for help on how to use it.
