Saves time with context-aware code suggestions and seamless integration
In terms of improvements for Copilot, I haven't considered much since it offers many useful interactions. It integrates well with GitHub repositories, tracks changes on PRs, and provides valuable suggestions where applicable. There is excellent support across various code editors like JetBrains, VS Code, and NeoGen. I also run many automations within GitHub. When an NPR is raised, it automatically provides suggestions, which is part of the enterprise edition without limitations. While I don't see immediate room for improvement, one suggestion is for Copilot to provide specific suggestions for certain lines of code instead of rewriting entire sections. If the tool could focus on specific lines where changes are suggested, it would save time and reduce server load.

Its pattern-matching and code transformation capabilities can be adapted for mass identification and remediation of vulnerable libraries
I asked very specific questions to Mr. Pell about consideration of code security scenarios in pattern design and rules, specifically that tuned with OWASP Top 10. I believe addition of code security focus can be a value-add, though the way Grit architecture is designed and how it works, it is and may not become an alternative choice of code security solutions. Rather, it must be treated as a powerful supplementary tool that augments the existing code security solutions (such as Snyk or Checkmarx) in a DevSecOps or Secure DevOps environment. Anyone interested in learning more on this front or have queries, can get in touch with me for a consulting.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I use it almost like a search engine, but it goes a step beyond."
"Copilot is highly recommended for everyone."
"The product's most valuable feature is vulnerability management features."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"GitHub Copilot code suggestion capabilities are always good."
"The initial setup of the product is easy."
"The platform's most valuable feature is its code suggestion capability, which leverages AI to provide context-aware suggestions."
"The product is easy to integrate."
"The approach offers significant benefits in terms of efficiency, consistency, and proactive security management, particularly valuable for organizations with large, distributed development teams."
"The solution's most valuable features are the queries for the OpenTelemetry events and all the tracing."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward since we were getting enough support from Honeycomb.io's team."
 

Cons

"The tool must improve its ability to work with multiple files."
"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."
"They could simplify the API integrations and allow us to automate certain tasks using our own server without just logging into the web page."
"The tool needs to focus on integration, as it is the most important aspect. I would like to see some pre-designed modules included in my projects."
"The limitation is based on the training dataset and the number of repositories."
"Sometimes, if it is a bigger piece of code, it breaks in between."
"There are no extensions provided by the product for Eclipse."
"GitHub CoPilot should be integrated with different IDEs beyond VS Code, as it is currently only supported by VS Code."
"We can make alerts based on static numbers, which may block us from building alerts that could be generic enough or could be serviced."
"The way Grit architecture is designed and how it works, it is and may not become an alternative choice of code security solutions."
"The process of log scraping gets delayed on Honeycomb.io. At times, it gives false alerts to the application team."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"GitHub CoPilot is less expensive than other solutions."
"The pricing is reasonable. I think it is 10 USD per user."
"GitHub CoPilot comes readily available for enterprise customers, so it's a free add-on if you already have GitHub's enterprise license."
"Each user needs their license, whether it's a big team or a small team."
"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."
"A personal license is priced at ten dollars per month, while a professional or enterprise license costs nineteen dollars per user, and these rates are consistent for all users."
"GitHub Copilot is a paid service, costing approximately $6 per month. There might be a free trial available."
