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.

Efficient with good data retrieval but improvement needed in user interface
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. It is part of our agreement with Oracle E Business Suite and offers seamless data retrieval and performance. Additionally, we utilize its dashboard and reporting capabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Some of the suggestions provided by GitHub CoPilot are not accurate, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"GitHub CoPilot's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"In certain instances, OpenAI didn't respond in the expected way. The responses were more general and didn't address the specific point."
"I don't have enough experience to share this kind of feedback."
"The problem arises when a bot is not well-designed, which frustrates customers."
"The solution could provide more AI functionalities or AI assistance."
"Connections to the application pages are not handled well and at times more than one user can be accessing an application with the same ID."

"One area for improvement in Oracle APEX is its workflow orchestration capabilities."
"Occasionally when trying to un a page, I would be faced with an error number; however, not much information would be provided on the error itself outside of the programming language. It would be nice if more information could be provided."
"Oracle Application Express would be improved if you could use it on a mobile platform."
"It would be beneficial to include WebSockets so that you can see real-time updates."
"Reporting needs to be accessed via third party tools."

"Oracle Application Express (APEX) is free, so this is another magic of the solution. You just get charged for the database license, which I don't need."
"If you have a license to Oracle database, you can access APEX."
