Helix IM - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Helix IM is issue management software that sits within Perforce's Development Lifecycle Management product, the modular Helix ALM suite. Available alongside the fully integrated Helix RM (Requirements management) and TCM (Test Case Management) modules, Helix IM can also be deployed standalone on 12-month license subscriptions, both on-premise or within the cloud. Branded as a defect tracking tool for the most demanding development projects, Helix IM in fact promises to handle the management of thousands of issues, defects and bugs. Users can raise every type of issue with simplicity and ease, prioritizing and analyzing their risk while enjoying automated tracking of issue status.

Capable of monitoring feature and change requests also, Helix IM allows dashboards, task boards and customizable reports to be created to intuitively measure progress. Issues can then quickly be queried, found and pinpointed more quickly by virtue of search and filtering functionality. Defect traceability is then enhanced by the ability to automatically link defects to failed test runs, especially when used in conjunction with Helix TCM. Promising robust integration with existing toolsets and of course the broader Helix ALM suite, users can connect to other applications thanks to a bundled SOAP-based SDK.
