Enhances our productivity while coding and provides suggestions and reviews
If you're considering a complete CI/CD pipeline, you'll need to integrate various tools such as Jenkins for builds and ensure connectivity with platforms like AWS or Azure. All these aspects must be managed effectively. Therefore, it's essential to have a dedicated configuration management team to oversee and maintain the pipeline. We're working on developing our in-house AI tool. GitHub Copilot, closely integrated with Microsoft products like .NET, offers extensive support for various programming languages. For example, it supports a wide range of languages, while a customized tool might only cover around seventy percent of the same range. It definitely can do a little bit of statistical analysis and give recommendations. I would recommend considering GitHub Copilot. If you already use another tool, be aware of the migration effort required to switch to Copilot. Assess the process of adopting and onboarding Copilot to ensure a smooth transition. If you're moving from one tool to Copilot, you'll need to evaluate the migration effort involved. It’s essential to have early adopters to facilitate this process. Overall, I rate the solution a nine-point five out of ten.

A tool that offers great security and integration capabilities
The solution facilitates our company's workflow automation needs since it is a platform that allows users to build whatever workflows they want. The product is used for application development in our organization for our customers, as we operate as consultants. The features of the product that I found to be beneficial for the productivity of my company's team stems from the fact that it can be integrated directly into HCL Notes email so that you can manage your workflows there, and you don't have to change contacts a go to a separate application to deal with a document approval process since it can be done directly from emails. HCL Domino is one of the leading products in the industry, so it is definitely ahead of the other tools in the market. In our company, some departments use HCL Domino for emails rather than other solutions because it is more secure. The tool has an impact on the management of sensitive data in our company. My only suggestion to those who plan to use HCL Domino is that they should not be daunted by the old UI it offers. The collaboration tool of HCL Domino has affected the internal communication processes in our organization. The collaboration tool of HCL Domino is something that the solution has been offering from the time it was introduced in the market as an expensive product. The impact or value on our company from the use of the product can be proven by the fact that with the solution, it is possible to automate processes or workflows while ensuring that there is consistency, lack of human errors, and efficiency. Earlier, I would have rated the tool eight out of ten. Presently, considering the increase in the number of integrations that the product allows and its movement to meet industry standards, I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The CoPilot app that you can use while creating presentations is very useful."
"GitHub CoPilot has good stability and performance."
"I use it almost like a search engine, but it goes a step beyond."
"The initial setup of the product is easy."
"GitHub CoPilot accelerates productivity. It is an easy-to-use solution that is also helpful in saving the team's time."
"The solution increases coding efficiency."
"In terms of understanding user queries and providing code that aligns with my expectations, there is room for improvement."
"The product is easy to integrate."
"Domino's dual functionality as both a messaging and application solution is a standout feature compared to Exchange, which solely focuses on messaging."
"The most valuable features of the solution are security and integration."
"We can scale it if we want to."
"We have been able to set up a portal using a special XPage application that gives our customers access to this system."
"The pricing is excellent."
"They offer good support and provide a roadmap."
"The DAOS feature is the most valuable. It helps to save some of my storage."
"It is an excellent solution."
 

Cons

"There are no extensions provided by the product for Eclipse."
"Some of the suggestions provided by GitHub CoPilot are not accurate, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"In a few cases, the results aren't correct, so that needs improvement. Also, it would be great if the results could be presented in different formats, not just text. As engineers, it takes time to read through text-based results."
"Sometimes, if it is a bigger piece of code, it breaks in between."
"The technology offered by the product in the retail industry and banking processes has certain shortcomings, making them areas that can be improved."
"Sometimes it requires multiple iterations to get the code I need, like for creating a login page with specific buttons and logic."
"One drawback is that the solution sometimes suggests unwanted code, especially if I accidentally press the tab. This doesn't happen often. Sometimes it seems to understand my code, but other times it doesn't. This inconsistency is confusing."
"HCL Domino could have a better interface."
"When you compare with Microsoft Exchange, the UI could be more user-friendly."
"They should provide its integration with other AI applications."
"The product's user interface is one of its shortcomings since it is outdated, making it an area for improvement."
"Recently, IBM sold the product to HCL. Since Pakistan and India have some problems on a domestic level, we were actually considering replacing it with Indian products from the organization. We're just facing some regulatory issues."
"The solution could improve Kubernetes or Dockers migration to new environments in the cloud."
"Designing a new template could provide a refreshed visual experience for users without significant changes to the underlying functionality."
"The client version of this solution could be faster and be made simpler for non-IT users. You will need to have some knowledge of Notes to correctly install this solution."
 

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."
"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."
"It's affordable."
"The pricing is reasonable. I think it is 10 USD per user."
"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 product has a tiered pricing model that starts with a free version for individual developers but requires a separate license fee for enterprise use."
"The pricing is individually determined. For us, in our current deployment, we pay $12.50 Canadian per month per user."
"We pay annually for the use of this solution and it is only a standard fee."
"For 30 licenses, we pay $1,500 every year. It is not an expensive product."
"It is less expensive compared to other vendors."
"The license for Domino is yearly. The price is high."
"Customers have to pay for a license for the Notes Client, not for the Domino database. There is a quarter license that we use."
"Price is reasonable compared to the other solutions."
"While I don't have precise pricing information at hand, my understanding is that it tends to be on the higher end."
