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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The features I am most impressed by is the automation."
"Git is a product everyone uses, so it's almost inescapable. I like the fact that there is a large ecosystem around it. You can bolt various graphical user interfaces onto it or sign up for various repositories like GitHub and AWS CodeCommit. Git has a large community, so there are lots of resources and knowledge bases you can use."
"The most valuable feature of Git is its reliability and user popularity."
"Code versioning, for example, we work in the branch and want to come back to this branch another time.Git is a very useful tool, helpful to collaborate with other members in the group to finish more rapidly our work."
"Git has a lot of online tutorials and resources available."
"The implementation is easy."
"The most valuable feature of Git is its ability to track updates, such as firmware documentation. Additionally, many people can make changes to code without problems. It is able to solve conflicts very easily."
"The most valuable feature is having access to the local country repository even if we have problems with distance access."
"The customer service and support are excellent."
"I find the configuration management features of Helix Core particularly valuable."
 

Cons

"The tool's user interface is terrible. It needs to be more user-friendly."
"The solution works perfectly fine so far."
"Some challenges arise when Git is not used correctly, particularly in managing branches. It's easy to get lost, but these challenges can be overcome with proper management. A common advice is maintaining the repository and ensuring developers are in sync with the production branch. Branches should be promptly merged into development to avoid getting lost in many branches."
"More security is always welcome in my opinion."
"I would like to see an improvement in the way the product owner can review changes."
"In a future release, the user interface should be easier to use and more intuitive."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"It's not very user-friendly."
"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is free."
"As a student, I didn't have to pay for the license."
"Git is free and you don't have to pay for it."
"I am not required to pay due to the small number of users we have. We have a small user base, and we are not using the enterprise version."
"Git is an open-source software."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"We are using the open-source version, which is available free of charge."
"This is an open-source solution, so there are no licensing fees associated with it, and no extra, 'hidden' charges."
