A stable solution that can aid its users in maintaining all application developments
Scalability is something I haven't experienced. So, a bigger team in my company looks after the scalability aspect of the solution. Therefore, I will not be the right person to rate it from a scalability perspective. Around 200 users are using Git in my company. I am not the right person to comment on whether the solution's usage rate will increase in the future.

Configuration management features improve workflow but require a steep learning curve
I need to work more with Helix Core to identify specific areas for improvement. However, it has an extensive feature set that leads to a steep learning curve, where users need to learn quite a bit of features to work with it effectively. While its customization is not an issue, the GUI might not appeal to everyone.
