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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 offers the ability to roll back to the previous version. You can also track all the small changes that you do."
"The most valuable feature is having access to the local country repository even if we have problems with distance access."
"The repository management and check-in/check-out commands are the most valuable features for ensuring secure code."
"Git is easy to use."
"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."
"We use the tool to store codes."
"I find the configuration management features of Helix Core particularly valuable."
"The customer service and support are excellent."
 

Cons

"Git removed the credential feature."
"The tool is complicated for a beginner. You need to have some training to use it. It is also hard to find a parameter."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"If the solution could provide more language support options such as Korean, it would be helpful."
"The solution could improve by having more customization."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"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."
"The scalability could be better. I think it requires some discipline to have large teams working on the same project without facing problems merging code. I'm using Git for personal projects, but I know companies face merge conflicts when more than one person is working on code simultaneously."
"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."
