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 product is easy to use."
"We use the tool to store codes."
"Version control is beneficial as it allows me to keep track of all the modifications I have made to the applications."
"What I find the most valuable about Git is that it is CLI and GUI-supported. People who do not like using the CLI mode can use the GUI mode."
"You can have a central code repository using Git and have local code branches."
"It is a pretty standard product with features like git clone and development branches."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The most valuable feature of Git is the ease of tracking in time what the snapshot of the code was at a particular moment. The versioning is good."
"The customer service and support are excellent."

Cons

"About the configuration it is a little bit difficult, it can be improved."
"I would like to see an improvement in the way the product owner can review changes."

"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."
"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."
