Helix ALM Valuable Features

The most valuable features of Helix ALM are traceability and flexibility.

One thing that distinguishes Helix ALM from other solutions is that it is a hybrid cloud model. Helix ALM is not a full cloud implementation like Valerian, Jira Jama, or Atlassian, where we just go through a browser onto the cloud. In the case of Helix, we have code that goes on our computer and then that communicates to the cloud. We have the backup and distribution capability of the cloud, but we have code executing on our machine, and we don't need to worry much about speed and internet lag problems.

I would say that Helix ALM's greatest value is that it allows you to have a clear view of your current configuration and dependencies backward tested. If you have to have backward compatibility, it allows you to see that. It also allows you to explore new branches for optimization going forward. It would be a great match for integrating decision trees.
