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.

"Code check in and code version control."

"The tool helps us manage different versions of code and branches. I like that Bitbucket is similar to Git but may have some vendor support. It has many of the same features as Git."
"Bitbucket is a standard source code repository with all the features you would expect. It supports Git and SVN. It's an extensive tool that provides us with merging, branching, and change management capabilities. You can compare the changes with the current and previous versions."
