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.

Business Software Developer at a tech services company
This is a RAD tool to build business apps, tables, and forms.
It needs a desktop version for developers with license type CE. I would like to have the possibility to have a CE that lets me migrate from SQL Server Express, Access, and OpenOffice Base and keep all UI front-end development in just one system. In short, the 6.7 was good enough. The question is: Will there always be a desktop version CE that will let me work with, for example, five users for free, and then start to pay from user six, or in my case, three users? Right now, I do not see WaveMaker in this field, and there are others points to ask for from a desktop.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is easy to integrate."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"I use it almost like a search engine, but it goes a step beyond."
"It enhances efficiency and productivity in development."
"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."
"GitHub CoPilot is easy to set up as it only requires enabling certain settings."
"The platform's most valuable feature is its code suggestion capability, which leverages AI to provide context-aware suggestions."
"It is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool to build business apps that lets you work with many diverse data stores and build tables and forms easily."
 

Cons

"They could enhance the product's accuracy of suggestions, especially when dealing with non-standard or legacy code."
"In certain instances, OpenAI didn't respond in the expected way. The responses were more general and didn't address the specific point."
"Some of the suggestions provided by GitHub CoPilot are not accurate, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The suggestions provided by the product must be improved."
"Sometimes, if it is a bigger piece of code, it breaks in between."
"It would be useful if we could use the solution to create documents, not only prompts."
"An improvement for GitHub CoPilot would be making the suggestions more accurate in complex or large-scale projects, especially when there are many dependencies."
"It needs a desktop version for developers with license type CE."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"GitHub Copilot is a paid service, costing approximately $6 per month. There might be a free trial available."
"The pricing is reasonable. I think it is 10 USD per user."
"We have a demo license. Once we understand what we'll do, we'll start with a paid license."
"GitHub CoPilot is less expensive than other solutions."
"Each user needs their license, whether it's a big team or a small team."
"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."
