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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"GitHub CoPilot is easy to use even for beginners and it supports the integration with CI/CD tools."
"Copilot enhanced our productivity through its AI capabilities."
"The document generation features are valuable."
"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."
"The product's most valuable feature is vulnerability management features."
"The platform's most valuable feature is its code suggestion capability, which leverages AI to provide context-aware suggestions."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Application Express (APEX) are the ease and speed of development. Instead of engaging a large team of middleware, front-end, and database engineers, we can have professional look at the front end and have the user interface up and running in a matter of days. However, if you want to go far and implement very custom features, it doesn't require a lot of knowledge of front-end development, such as HTML, JavaScript, or other aspects."
"The solution can build functionalities in a very short time."
"What's most valuable in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is its secure coding functionality, and the solution also has good features."
"The valuable features are charts, reports, and search engines."
"Oracle Application Express is easy to use, people don't have to be developers to use it."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"It helps us create web pages quickly."
"In our experience with Apex, we find that minimizing reliance on HTML and JavaScript is preferable, especially considering our background as seasoned programmers adept in PL/SQL. Incorporating HTML and JavaScript can pose challenges due to potential compatibility issues when updates are made to JavaScript. We also make use of JAPER report integration for generating reports, a practice integral to our reporting procedures."
 

Cons

"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 suggestions provided by the product must be improved."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution is expensive. It should also support other programming languages."
"The problem arises when a bot is not well-designed, which frustrates customers."
"Some of the suggestions provided by GitHub CoPilot are not accurate, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution's accuracy and relevance could be improved."
"You also need an APEX specialist for deployment because not many people use it."
"Visual Builder and APEX should meld in one product."
"The solution does not support the Linux platform."
"The solution has some stability problems that need to be resolved."
"When exporting, we can't export dynamic reports, only static reports. For example, when we want to export charts or tables it is only exported as a static report so we can't drop down on these reports; however, we can see this information when we are on the dashboard itself."
"The solution's layout could be improved for report generation to allow more configuration."
"The workflow engine should be embedded in the solution."
"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."
 

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."
"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 solution is costly."
"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 less expensive than other solutions."
"The pricing is reasonable. I think it is 10 USD per user."
"We have an Oracle basic product license, and then we can use Oracle APEX for free. We have many licenses for Oracle for approximately 20 processors."
"The product is completely free of cost."
"There is a trial version available that can be used free of charge."
"We have a full Oracle E-Business Suite license, and we use that license to develop applications. There's no license required for developing Oracle applications."
"To my understanding, my organization is using the free version of Oracle Application Express (APEX), but I'm unsure because I haven't checked the pricing or licensing cost for it."
"The solution is free if you are using on Oracle database."
"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."
"The solution is cheap. It's a free solution. I rate the solution's pricing a six or seven out of ten."
