QA Manager at Synechron
AI coding assistant has transformed development speed and supports learning new languages
Any technology comes with two things, or rather anything in this world has both sides, good and bad. LLMs also have the same thing. The bad part is for a person who is 100% dependent on AI because they won't be able to learn more if they are 100% dependent on that. The main thing is that there has to be restraint from our side. I won't say it is from the tool side, but from our side, we need to learn and we need to work on it. We need to review the code. That is one thing that we need to do from our end. From a technology perspective, it is designed to help us out, and it is totally on our side of thinking about how exactly we are going to use that. There is not any area for improvement from the tool side, but it is from the users altogether. Users should not be 100% reliant on AI or any LLMs. They need to work on it and they need to review the code.

Business Software Developer at a tech services company
This is a RAD tool to build business apps, tables, and forms.
It needs a desktop version for developers with license type CE. I would like to have the possibility to have a CE that lets me migrate from SQL Server Express, Access, and OpenOffice Base and keep all UI front-end development in just one system. In short, the 6.7 was good enough. The question is: Will there always be a desktop version CE that will let me work with, for example, five users for free, and then start to pay from user six, or in my case, three users? Right now, I do not see WaveMaker in this field, and there are others points to ask for from a desktop.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I can upload code snippets or class files and ask for solutions to improve them, which works well. It's a great productivity tool that saves me time searching websites. While there are alternatives like ChatGPT and other AI tools, the advantage of the tool is that it is built into the IDE."
"The product's most valuable feature is vulnerability management features."
"For example, what I create in one day, GitHub Copilot can help me create in one or two hours."
"GitHub CoPilot helps us auto-complete code. The tool's context awareness benefits our projects because it identifies the context in which we are working and automatically proposes solutions that we use."
"The most valuable aspects in terms of features, revolve around its code generation capabilities."
"When I write code, I feel like I have someone sitting with me to help me. Wherever I'm stuck, I just ask a question, and it provides guidance that I can use."
"One metric I have noticed since adopting GitHub CoPilot is that once developers start using it, they are completing coding tasks 55% faster, which I consider a great achievement worth sharing."
"In terms of understanding user queries and providing code that aligns with my expectations, there is room for improvement."
"It is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool to build business apps that lets you work with many diverse data stores and build tables and forms easily."
 

Cons

"Sometimes it requires multiple iterations to get the code I need, like for creating a login page with specific buttons and logic."
"There's room for improvement to ensure that suggestions align more precisely with the context of what I'm seeking, minimizing instances of unrelated or inaccurate code suggestions."
"There are no extensions provided by the product for Eclipse."
"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."
"GitHub CoPilot’s integration with other solutions could be improved."
"I don't have enough experience to share this kind of feedback."
"The technology offered by the product in the retail industry and banking processes has certain shortcomings, making them areas that can be improved."
"It needs a desktop version for developers with license type CE."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has a tiered pricing model that starts with a free version for individual developers but requires a separate license fee for enterprise use."
"The solution is costly."
"GitHub CoPilot comes readily available for enterprise customers, so it's a free add-on if you already have GitHub's enterprise license."
"The pricing is reasonable. I think it is 10 USD per user."
"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."
"Each user needs their license, whether it's a big team or a small team."
"GitHub Copilot is a paid service, costing approximately $6 per month. There might be a free trial available."
"The product offers a free version and a paid version. Whether to choose the product's free version or paid version depends on the size of the company where it will be used."
