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

"Copilot enhanced our productivity through its AI capabilities."
"I use it almost like a search engine, but it goes a step beyond."
"GitHub CoPilot is easy to use even for beginners and it supports the integration with CI/CD tools."
"The platform's most valuable feature is detecting and suggesting variables based on the existing file context."
"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."
"Copilot is highly recommended for everyone."
"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."
"The initial setup of the product is easy."
"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

"In certain instances, OpenAI didn't respond in the expected way. The responses were more general and didn't address the specific point."
"The only suggestion is to enhance Copilot's ability to assist developers with infrastructure as code tasks. Like, while using CI/CD pipeline, when I use YAML files, so it could just support the port number."
"GitHub CoPilot's alerting features need improvement."
"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."
"To improve GitHub CoPilot, I believe the context window could be larger for better understanding of the current file, as it sometimes struggles with very deep structural relationships across hundreds of microservices."
"They could simplify the API integrations and allow us to automate certain tasks using our own server without just logging into the web page."
"GitHub CoPilot’s integration with other solutions could be improved."
"Sometimes it requires multiple iterations to get the code I need, like for creating a login page with specific buttons and logic."
"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."
"It's affordable."
"GitHub Copilot is a paid service, costing approximately $6 per month. There might be a free trial available."
"GitHub CoPilot comes readily available for enterprise customers, so it's a free add-on if you already have GitHub's enterprise license."
"We have a demo license. Once we understand what we'll do, we'll start with a paid license."
"GitHub CoPilot is less expensive than other solutions."
"Each user needs their license, whether it's a big team or a small team."
"We have a license but need another one for the GitHub CoPilot tool."
