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.

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

"GitHub CoPilot has good stability and performance."
"The most valuable skill and characteristic of GitHub CoPilot is that you can find any information in seconds."
"GitHub CoPilot is easy to set up as it only requires enabling certain settings."
"Initially, OpenAI is free, but you'll need to pay for it later."
"The CoPilot app that you can use while creating presentations is very useful."
"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 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."
"GitHub Copilot code suggestion capabilities are always good."
"I believe that this is the only product in the market that truly supports offline capabilities in an SAP environment."
"Since you only pay for active users, and since it gives you an immediate improvement in efficiencies, the ROI is very quick."
"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 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."
 

Cons

"The technology offered by the product in the retail industry and banking processes has certain shortcomings, making them areas that can be improved."
"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."
"They could improve the product in terms of integration with other tools."
"The problem arises when a bot is not well-designed, which frustrates customers."
"There are no extensions provided by the product for Eclipse."
"They could enhance the product's accuracy of suggestions, especially when dealing with non-standard or legacy code."
"GitHub CoPilot should be integrated with different IDEs beyond VS Code, as it is currently only supported by VS Code."
"GitHub CoPilot’s integration with other solutions could be improved."
"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."
"The modernizer element should convert a higher percentage of the ABAP code, moving it from approximately 75%, closer to 100%."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"GitHub CoPilot comes readily available for enterprise customers, so it's a free add-on if you already have GitHub's enterprise license."
"Each user needs their license, whether it's a big team or a small team."
"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."
"GitHub Copilot is a paid service, costing approximately $6 per month. There might be a free trial available."
"A personal license is priced at ten dollars per month, while a professional or enterprise license costs nineteen dollars per user, and these rates are consistent for all users."
"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."
"It's affordable."
"There is a need to pay around 10 USD to be able to use the solution."
"It is straightforward consumption based on the number of end-users."
