TusharShankar - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Rodrigo-Mesquita - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software developer at QV Systems
Rapid application development empowers big projects in months
The ability to quickly develop applications without needing to code a lot is very valuable. It is very quick to create a page, and one can use AI to speed up software development. It is easy to learn. In my company, we could develop a very big application in a couple of months.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The platform's most valuable feature is detecting and suggesting variables based on the existing file context."
"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."
"GitHub CoPilot is easy to use even for beginners and it supports the integration with CI/CD tools."
"GitHub Copilot code suggestion capabilities are always good."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The product's most valuable feature is vulnerability management features."
"Copilot is integrated into my environment, providing the context and the bigger picture of how the code is used throughout the project."
"GitHub Copilot can improve productivity by up to 40%, especially for experienced developers. Senior developers often spend more time reviewing code, which can make the code review process a bit longer."
"Oracle APEX improved our organization by making it possible for us to implement agile project development."
"What's most valuable in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is its secure coding functionality, and the solution also has good features."
"One standout feature of Oracle APEX is its seamless integration with backend procedures, allowing for quick updates without changing the front-end interface."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"Intuitive with a user-friendly UI."
"It helps us create web pages quickly."
"I like that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is powerful and attractive, allowing my organization to modernize forms within two months. I also found its PWA feature very powerful because you can produce substantial mobile applications."
"The valuable features are charts, reports, and search engines."
 

Cons

"One drawback is that the solution sometimes suggests unwanted code, especially if I accidentally press the tab. This doesn't happen often. Sometimes it seems to understand my code, but other times it doesn't. This inconsistency is confusing."
"It would be useful if we could use the solution to create documents, not only prompts."
"The solution's accuracy and relevance could be improved."
"If the tool could focus on specific lines where changes are suggested, it would save time and reduce server load."
"The tool must improve its ability to work with multiple files."
"Some of the suggestions provided by GitHub CoPilot are not accurate, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"They could enhance the product's accuracy of suggestions, especially when dealing with non-standard or legacy code."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution’s pricing is high if you use it on the OCA platform. It’s also a little bit costly. However, if we use it on an on-premises Oracle database, the pricing is cheaper."
"Maybe there are other technologies that offer what APEX cannot."
"The problem of sending emails arises when Oracle Application Express (APEX) is inside Oracle Cloud Infrastructure since it is a bit complicated or difficult to understand where to take care of the setup part to be able to just send out emails properly."
"Oracle Application Express would be improved if you could use it on a mobile platform."
"The solution does not include a default or custom template like other products."
"Reporting needs to be accessed via third party tools."
"The collaboration and the workflow engine could use some improvement."
"The product must provide more triggers."

"It is expensive in comparison to other products."
"The pricing is mid-range so is neither expensive nor cheap."
"I believe that the solution's pricing is high."
