Perforce has been the corner stone of our software business since we started 17 years ago.
What do you like best about the product?
I can have one massive repository (depot) or lots of small ones. I can control exactly which parts of any depots I want to download, I don't have to sync an entire depot.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the IDE plugins (third party) can be immature and sometimes buggy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Software development.

Simple and lightning-fast
What do you like best about the product?
lightning-fast and easy to learn and use. Freshers also can easily understand the concept of version control through this.

Hacker News, Reddit, Stack Overflow Stats, Rust and Ruby, Without the Glue
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Version control of the software deployed at line of work. Its very useful.
Helix Swarm offers power & control
What do you like best about the product?
Helix Swarm allows me the power to review my team's code, automate QA verification status, and limiting commits to approved & verified code.
What do you dislike about the product?
Swarm allows a lot of automation, but it would really be useful if the Perforce 'changes -i' command worked with shelved changes (as opposed to committed changes), to more easily identify change origins from integrations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helix allows us to maintain versions of code going back over 10 years, and gives us the ability to rebuild any historical version. Helix also gives us the ability to work on both private and group branches, to more easily segment our workflow.
Affortable source control solution with good visual interface that ease my software development.
What do you like best about the product?
Graph and History give a very interesting visual information about source changes.
Customisation via scripts at submit or via P4Broker make the tool very flexible.
Merge tool is good visually and it works well to integrate changes from multiple branches, it is very functional.
Integration with Visual Studio IDE, SlickEdit, and other programming IDE is good.

What do you dislike about the product?
Labels are too easy to change, it cannot be used to identify official release for us.
The fact that directory are not a controlled object in Helix (at least when not using Streams) force us to create dummy files to introduce file architecture for a project.
It would also be good support directory link, like Linux system (this is maybe possible with Workspace views but it was not that easy or even not functionning for our projects.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Good collaboration among team members and track all changes to our code.
Il also allows us to perform efficient code reviews by shelving files with changes, without disturbing other developpers working in our branch.
Reconciling changes made locally during customer site-support is very good to keep all changes performed away from the office and submitting the changes once returning from these interventions.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very interesting tool for multiple OS platforms. Good visual interface and command-line interface (plus API's to Python, C/C++). This tool can be extended quite easily to enforce our processes within the whole developpement teams.
Helix Perforce for Source Code Management.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the File Explorer and Photoshop plugins for Windows. This allows me to very quickly check in and check out files without having to find them in the p4v client.
What do you dislike about the product?
Branching is lacking. Unlike Git, branching is very linear. This makes it difficult to identify the ancestry of a commit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Here at work, we are using Helix Perforce as the version control system for our local web and software development.
Fast and Reliable
What do you like best about the product?
Perforce (Helix) is one of the best source control providers for medium to large projects and companies, especially those who need tight security. Their product suite has expanded to cover other needs like code inspections and git services which make it a more complete solution.. Many top tier companies rely on it, The ability to handle very large files is a must for us. They offer a free tier for up to 5 users which is a great way to get started. Every time i have dealt with support they have been fast, efficient and often local. They are not afraid to reinvent themselves which in this market with competitors such as git and microsoft team services is a must. They also offer service licences which is good to not have to use admin accounts for core services.
What do you dislike about the product?
While they offer the main perforce server on windows, other services must be deployed to Linux machines such as gitfusion. Setting up some of these services require a lot of experience and I had to have a few support calls (which were some of the best I've had and local to my country Australia) to get going.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using perforce for source control management storing code, documents and binaries. We also use Swarm to manage our source code reviewing process. We were able to consolidate and move away from multiple vendors like our previous Code Collaborator program. We have dabbled in using their git solution for a few of our smaller projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try out the free tier to see if it meets your business needs.
Solid reliable source control
What do you like best about the product?
The software is easy to manage from an administrative standpoint. We installed and it just keeps going. I support a wide variety of apps, and this is by far the easiest to upgrade/patch. For the few times we have had to do any sort of recovery, it was also quick and painless. This product is a software administrator's dream.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that the platform had some sort of reporting capability. The biggest request I get from the community is asking for metrics on the repository that I can't give without some creative scripting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When we added Helix Swarm to our existing P4 installation we were finally able to do code review between different geographical sites efficiently. Swarm has helped standardize our code review process, and given us the ability to track our reviews more easily.
