Centralized repository, but the stability could improve
Apache Subversion is a scalable solution. We have our personal service, and we were nine developers. In our company the whole company uses the same instances for Git, but in but last five years, we have had one instance, per project. For one instance, there were ten to twenty users.

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.
