Helix has become the central and critical tool to store everybody's work.

Our teams are getting bigger and bigger. The speed, reliability, and scalability of Helix are crucial to Ubisoft, with more than 1,000 users depending on it."

Nicolas Beaufils, Technical Architect at Ubisoft

We had major speed issues with Mercurial,

and therefore we decided to try Helix. The difference was night and day. Our submits went from half an hour to under a minute, saving approximately two person-hours per day. Suffice it to say, we switched immediately."

Ryan Fedje, Senior Game Designer at Camouflaj

We knew Helix was scalable enough to meet our fast-growing demands.

Adding new people can increase the complexity of managing daily development processes but Helix provides a framework that makes this manageable, regardless of how fast, or by how much we grow."
