Featured Reviews

TusharShankar - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Application Developer Manager at a tech company with 10,001+ employees
Helpful dashboard, supports offline capabilities for SAP, professional support, and a simple pricing model
I believe that this is the only product in the market that truly supports offline capabilities in an SAP environment. We have people going through all of their shifts without connectivity, yet it automatically later synchronizes well with SAP, without creating extra documents or anything like that. The ability to take ABAP code and automatically convert it to a mobile app and then adjust it to our needs is something that I haven't seen in any other low-code solution on the market, and it has been life-changing for us. I love how easy it is to manage the design of the process using drag and drop. I know they are working to make the developer experience even better, and I'm very excited about it. The modernizer element that converts existing ABAP business logic to the cloud-native mobile-friendly solution is a very powerful tool that I haven't seen in the market.

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 set up as it only requires enabling certain settings."
"I use it almost like a search engine, but it goes a step beyond."
"The most valuable skill and characteristic of GitHub CoPilot is that you can find any information in seconds."
"Copilot is highly recommended for everyone."
"Efficiencies with GitHub CoPilot have improved by 30%, which means a quicker go-to market and a simplified way of documenting technical designs."
"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."
"Things which were taking like two days are now finished within half an hour."
"GitHub CoPilot has helped me become more productive and efficient with assignments and projects, allowing me to complete coding tasks faster, spend less time on repetitive work, and focus more on problem-solving and learning how new concepts work."
"The ability to take ABAP code and automatically convert it to a mobile app and then adjust it to our needs is something that I haven't seen in any other low-code solution on the market, and it has been life-changing for us."
"I believe that this is the only product in the market that truly supports offline capabilities in an SAP environment."
"Since you only pay for active users, and since it gives you an immediate improvement in efficiencies, the ROI is very quick."
"I love how they took the MIT Scratch concept and implemented it into the in-app backend. It makes the app creation so much more intuitive and easy to use."
 

Cons

"While I don't see immediate room for improvement, one suggestion is for Copilot to provide specific suggestions for certain lines of code instead of rewriting entire sections."
"The suggestions provided by the product must be improved."
"There is a lot of hallucination happening in GitHub CoPilot sometimes; on one side, it provides production-grade environment code, but on the other side, it lacks understanding the context of what I tell it and hallucinates a lot."
"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."
"They could enhance the product's accuracy of suggestions, especially when dealing with non-standard or legacy code."
"To improve GitHub CoPilot, I believe the context window could be larger for better understanding of the current file, as it sometimes struggles with very deep structural relationships across hundreds of microservices."
"If the tool could focus on specific lines where changes are suggested, it would save time and reduce server load."
"The solution is expensive. It should also support other programming languages."
"The modernizer element should convert a higher percentage of the ABAP code, moving it from approximately 75%, closer to 100%."
"While we're not in a place of letting LOB analysts build apps, at some point, we may want to give them a bit more freedom - as long as we can limit their ability to harm the ERP data. I would like to see more tools pertaining to this area."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Each user needs their license, whether it's a big team or a small team."
"GitHub Copilot is a paid service, costing approximately $6 per month. There might be a free trial available."
"The solution is costly."
"We have a license but need another one for the GitHub CoPilot tool."
"We have a demo license. Once we understand what we'll do, we'll start with a paid license."
"The pricing is reasonable. I think it is 10 USD per user."
"GitHub CoPilot is less expensive than other solutions."
"It is straightforward consumption based on the number of end-users."
