Featured Reviews

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

"Things which were taking like two days are now finished within half an hour."
"The most valuable skill and characteristic of GitHub CoPilot is that you can find any information in seconds."
"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."
"I use it almost like a search engine, but it goes a step beyond."
"Initially, OpenAI is free, but you'll need to pay for it later."
"GitHub CoPilot is easy to use even for beginners and it supports the integration with CI/CD tools."
"The most valuable aspects in terms of features, revolve around its code generation capabilities."
"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."
"Efficient software delivery and a solution that works quickly."
"What's most valuable in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is its secure coding functionality, and the solution also has good features."
"A user interface is relatively simple to create."
"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."

Cons

"They could enhance the product's accuracy of suggestions, especially when dealing with non-standard or legacy code."
"Sometimes, if it is a bigger piece of code, it breaks in between."
"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."
"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."
"They could improve the product in terms of integration with other tools."
"Some of the suggestions provided by GitHub CoPilot are not accurate, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I don't have enough experience to share this kind of feedback."
"GitHub CoPilot should be integrated with different IDEs beyond VS Code, as it is currently only supported by VS Code."
"The solution does not include a default or custom template like other products."
"Fixing bugs is difficult because of how the HTML code is generated. It is not always broadly compatible with browsers."
"It can be modern and more user-friendly."
"The product must provide more triggers."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"The migration process is difficult in Oracle Application Express."
"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."
