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.

Application Developer Manager at a tech company with 10,001+ employees
Helpful dashboard, supports offline capabilities for SAP, professional support, and a simple pricing model
I believe that this is the only product in the market that truly supports offline capabilities in an SAP environment. We have people going through all of their shifts without connectivity, yet it automatically later synchronizes well with SAP, without creating extra documents or anything like that. The ability to take ABAP code and automatically convert it to a mobile app and then adjust it to our needs is something that I haven't seen in any other low-code solution on the market, and it has been life-changing for us. I love how easy it is to manage the design of the process using drag and drop. I know they are working to make the developer experience even better, and I'm very excited about it. The modernizer element that converts existing ABAP business logic to the cloud-native mobile-friendly solution is a very powerful tool that I haven't seen in the market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The document generation features are valuable."
"GitHub CoPilot is easy to set up as it only requires enabling certain settings."
"The most valuable skill and characteristic of GitHub CoPilot is that you can find any information in seconds."
"The platform's most valuable feature is its code suggestion capability, which leverages AI to provide context-aware suggestions."
"Copilot enhanced our productivity through its AI capabilities."
"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."
"Efficiencies with GitHub CoPilot have improved by 30%, which means a quicker go-to market and a simplified way of documenting technical designs."
"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."
"Since you only pay for active users, and since it gives you an immediate improvement in efficiencies, the ROI is very quick."
"I love how they took the MIT Scratch concept and implemented it into the in-app backend. It makes the app creation so much more intuitive and easy to use."
"I believe that this is the only product in the market that truly supports offline capabilities in an SAP environment."
"The ability to take ABAP code and automatically convert it to a mobile app and then adjust it to our needs is something that I haven't seen in any other low-code solution on the market, and it has been life-changing for us."
 

Cons

"The tool must improve its ability to work with multiple files."
"If the tool could focus on specific lines where changes are suggested, it would save time and reduce server load."
"GitHub CoPilot should be integrated with different IDEs beyond VS Code, as it is currently only supported by VS Code."
"The solution's accuracy and relevance could be improved."
"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."
"GitHub CoPilot’s integration with other solutions could be improved."
"The limitation is based on the training dataset and the number of repositories."
"There are no extensions provided by the product for Eclipse."
"The modernizer element should convert a higher percentage of the ABAP code, moving it from approximately 75%, closer to 100%."
"While we're not in a place of letting LOB analysts build apps, at some point, we may want to give them a bit more freedom - as long as we can limit their ability to harm the ERP data. I would like to see more tools pertaining to this area."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a license but need another one for the GitHub CoPilot tool."
"We have a demo license. Once we understand what we'll do, we'll start with a paid license."
"Each user needs their license, whether it's a big team or a small team."
"The pricing for GitHub Copilot is around ten dollars per month."
"GitHub CoPilot's pricing is reasonable. Our licensing costs were initially monthly, but then we switched to yearly payments. I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"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."
"GitHub CoPilot is less expensive than other solutions."
"It is straightforward consumption based on the number of end-users."
