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

"The platform's most valuable feature is its code suggestion capability, which leverages AI to provide context-aware suggestions."
"The most valuable skill and characteristic of GitHub CoPilot is that you can find any information in seconds."
"The product's initial setup is straightforward because it's pushed through the updates."
"When I write code, I feel like I have someone sitting with me to help me. Wherever I'm stuck, I just ask a question, and it provides guidance that I can use."
"The solution increases coding efficiency."
"The platform's most valuable feature is detecting and suggesting variables based on the existing file context."
"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."
"The ability to define processes, build reports, and get insights or analytics on data is most valuable. It is a powerful platform."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the various workflows."
"Case Management is the most valuable feature of PegaRULES, which is not found in other BPM tools."
"The tool reduces our costs."
"The product helps you to build faster."
"It is a stable product."
"The solution has very helpful technical support."
"It is easy to use, easy to understand, easy to implement and easy to enhance and we can do it as a Cloud. Also it is very user friendly."
 

Cons

"The tool must improve its ability to work with multiple files."
"They could improve the product in terms of integration with other tools."
"The technology offered by the product in the retail industry and banking processes has certain shortcomings, making them areas that can be improved."
"The problem arises when a bot is not well-designed, which frustrates customers."
"The tool needs to focus on integration, as it is the most important aspect. I would like to see some pre-designed modules included in my projects."
"The solution is expensive. It should also support other programming languages."
"The limitation is based on the training dataset and the number of repositories."
"GitHub CoPilot’s integration with other solutions could be improved."
"It is scalable, but it also interacts with a lot of other systems. I think they thought that the interface to other systems, legacy systems, was its strength, but when problems do occur, quickly diagnosing those problems has been a challenge."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"There is a lack of support and community presence in the country, leading to challenges in finding developers."
"The unit testing needs to improve, as well as the user interface."
"We need more light retail BPM tools within the Pega system. However, Pega is mostly for big companies."
"Pega is claiming they're into low code but as per Gartner Magic Quadrant, Pega is not there now."
"The pricing model needs to be improved. Right now, it's too expensive."
"What PegaRULES should work on is the integration aspect. I can integrate it with other platforms, but that can take time. It would be good if integration could be automated or if the tool had more out-of-the-box integration features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It's affordable."
"GitHub CoPilot comes readily available for enterprise customers, so it's a free add-on if you already have GitHub's enterprise license."
"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."
"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 has a tiered pricing model that starts with a free version for individual developers but requires a separate license fee for enterprise use."
"The product pricing is considered reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis. Because of our special relationship, all the training certifications are free of cost. All our employees can do Pega certifications at zero cost. It is all on Pega."
"They need to come up with licensing options. Right now they do have a cloud-based option, but the cloud prices I've seen are much more expensive compared to competing products."
"The price of Pega BPM is in the middle range compared to other solutions."
"In terms of the price, if I were to compare Pega to other tools, it would be more expensive, but it would also provide you with the same features."
"PegaRULES is a good product, but its pricing is a bit on the premium side, especially for professionals."
"They have both on-premise and cloud licensing. If you are a small to medium company, go for the cloud option because that eliminates a lot of the setting up of your DevTest and performance environments, multiple environments, because you can buy that from Pega with the cloud option. So your setup time really goes down. If you're a large company, then you're better off putting it within your company. You have other skill resources within your company to create environments."
"The solution could be less expensive according to my customers. However, I think the price of the solution is fair."
