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.

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 its code suggestion capability, which leverages AI to provide context-aware suggestions."
"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."
"GitHub CoPilot has good stability and performance."
"GitHub Copilot code suggestion capabilities are always good."
"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."
"The product is easy to integrate."
"The most valuable aspects in terms of features, revolve around its code generation capabilities."
"GitHub CoPilot accelerates productivity. It is an easy-to-use solution that is also helpful in saving the team's time."
"The database is super easy to use for creating tables."
"Quick development and the connection with the database are the most valuable and useful features. It is also very stable, scalable, and easy to set up. Its support is also good."
"A user interface is relatively simple to create."
"It has many ready modules that can be used and developed."
"You can customize the solution to create a console where only business users can access and download files if they want to extract the data."
"Oracle is always adding very important updates"
"Oracle APEX is very easy to use and comes with a lot of ready-made components that speed up the process of creating reports and dashboards."
"What I like best about Oracle Application Express (APEX) is that it doesn't require hard coding for reporting and building applications. It's a GUI-based application builder that even end-users with little development and language knowledge can develop applications on Oracle Application Express (APEX). The software is also very user-friendly, which I find valuable."
 

Cons

"They could enhance the product's accuracy of suggestions, especially when dealing with non-standard or legacy code."
"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 stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"GitHub CoPilot's alerting features need improvement."
"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."
"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 product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I don't have enough experience to share this kind of feedback."
"One area for improvement in Oracle APEX is its workflow orchestration capabilities."
"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."
"Source control could be stronger in Oracle Application Express (APEX). It needs some work."
"Connections to the application pages are not handled well and at times more than one user can be accessing an application with the same ID."
"Regarding features, the solution lacks the ability to integrate with different databases. Also, I feel that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is exclusively designed for other Oracle tools."
"The product must provide more triggers."
"We would like to see tighter integration with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure."
"An area for improvement in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is the slow reporting because pulling the report for two months, one year, three years, etc., is very slow. It takes more than thirty minutes to download the report. There's also room for improvement in integrating Oracle Application Express (APEX) with other vendors, such as open-source solutions through API integration. I believe Oracle is working on this feature, or the issue could be because my organization is using an older version of Oracle Application Express (APEX). The Oracle database also has to be improved because it's still lacking in some packages, triggers, and indexes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable. I think it is 10 USD per user."
"GitHub CoPilot is less expensive than other solutions."
"The solution is costly."
"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."
"There is a need to pay around 10 USD to be able to use the solution."
"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."
"Each user needs their license, whether it's a big team or a small team."
"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 full Oracle E-Business Suite license, and we use that license to develop applications. There's no license required for developing Oracle applications."
"Oracle Application Express (APEX) comes with Oracle. The Oracle price itself. I do not know the exact cost. Oracle is flexible on its price. If you overspend on your hardware, then I don't think you will overpay. I heard that Oracle is more expensive than other databases, but when you consider Oracle is the best traditional relational database out there. You get what you pay for."
"It is expensive in comparison to other products."
"When buying the data license, APEX is included."
"I would rate it around an eight in terms of price, with one being low and ten being high."
"The solution is free."
"There is a trial version available that can be used free of charge."
"APEX itslelf is a free product, but you will need to license peripheral components."
