What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?
Best useful benefit has to be the auto completion of trivial implementations, for repetitive logic e.g. in tests, extending an existing class which has many methods to be implemented. It provides with a really good draft to get started with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?
Still can't fit entire repos in context window, it only limited to the file and surrounding code you are working with. Increasing the context window to atleast all the imported and callee code will increase the fidelity of the compeletions way more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?
What I particularly appreciate about GitHub Copilot is the combination of efficiency, adaptability, and the variety of AI models it leverages. It doesn’t just provide quick code completions; it actively enhances my workflow by suggesting optimized, structured, and performance-oriented solutions. Whether I’m working on complex logic, debugging, or simply improving code readability, it consistently delivers relevant and high-quality suggestions that align with best practices. (i alternate Claude 3.7 & Gemini Flash models)
Additionally, I value the strong emphasis on privacy and security.
The ability to fine-tune admin settings ensures that sensitive code remains protected while still benefiting from AI-driven assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?
The admin settings interface could be better organized.
The navigation feels a bit confusing at first, and it takes time to fully understand all the available options.
While the depth of customization is a strength, a more intuitive hierarchy would enhance the user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?
It gives amazing suggestions and auto-fills suggestions based on your code's context and your coding style. It's easily implementable to your coding IDE if you're using VS Code as it's already integrated into it as a plugin. It's now a daily part of my coding life! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?
Their free limit is very low, would be nice to increase it as it helps a lot of people including students! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?
Have been using this for the past year, and let me admit. It's one of the best copilot i've been using so far.
It's just like chatGPT but more easy to use and can be accessed on the IDE by hitting the shortkey.
One of its main strength is the way it can comprehend an algorithm and implement it with due of the respect of the previous syntaxs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?
- The model is not trained enough to comprehend a somewhat difficult question
- Sometimes it ignored the prompt that's given
- Hallucination sorta happen. E.g, it calls for a function of a module that doesn't exist Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
