Helps with code review, test case generation, and chat features

In a few cases, the results aren't correct, so that needs improvement. Also, it would be great if the results could be presented in different formats, not just text. As engineers, it takes time to read through text-based results. If they could provide diagrams or basic design architectures, it would be easier to understand and take less time to review. So, as of now, image functionality is not provided by GitHub Copilot, and it would be great if they could add that. So, I would like to see improvements in the result generation, more results, different result formats, and image functionality.

We use OutSystems for our customers in the banking and utility sectors. OutSystems is a low-code solution. Most features are drag-and-drop, so it's pretty easy to work with. It thus helps the organization by saving time for developers. The OutSystems Accelerator is the most valuable feature.…

"GitHub CoPilot’s integration with other solutions could be improved."

"It would be useful if we could use the solution to create documents, not only prompts."

"In certain instances, OpenAI didn't respond in the expected way. The responses were more general and didn't address the specific point."

"Some of the suggestions provided by GitHub CoPilot are not accurate, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."

More GitHub CoPilot cons

"While I can't speak to the market impact, as a developer, I've seen significant reductions in development time across different versions of our applications. One area for improvement would be the UI controls in Service Studio. Sometimes, controls don't appear in the IDE, requiring us to check them in the web browser instead. Overall, our experience with OutSystems has been positive, though improvements in UI development would be welcomed."

"We'd like OutSystems to add stronger workflow-based automation similar to what Appian offers. It needs more workflow modeling and RPA features."

"I would like to see improvements in versioning. It can be challenging to keep track of what changes should be committed, especially when many developers are working in one environment."

"GitHub CoPilot's pricing is reasonable. Our licensing costs were initially monthly, but then we switched to yearly payments. I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."

"The solution is costly."

"We have a license but need another one for the GitHub CoPilot tool."

"The tool’s licensing is based on the user’s usage."

"OutSystems is a good solution, but it's not cheap."

"OutSystems is a very expensive solution, and it has to be cheaper."
