I think claude it's a little better , but not for much ----- ### "Great Tool for Speeding Up Development" — 4.0/5 > **Rohan** | *12 November 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I find Github Copilot incredibly useful for generating repetitive code and providing suggestions that match my coding style. It can provide suggestions for multiple languages and integrates seamlessly with VS Code and other IDEs. > > **Cons**: The auto-completion suggestion feels slow and the suggestions are only useful sometimes. > > Overall, Copilot saves me a lot of time and helps me complete my projects much faster. ----- ### "Not as i hoped for" — 2.0/5 > **Faris** | *1 December 2025* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was mainly helpful for filling in repetitive codes and giving quick syntax reminders. It saved a bit of time on the simple stuff. > > **Cons**: It didn’t really understand the context of what I was trying to build. It just threw out code suggestions without explaining anything, so it wasn’t very helpful when I needed actual guidance instead of random snippets > > Overall, it was just okay. It worked for small, simple tasks, but it didn’t really help much when things got more complex. I often felt like I had to fix or rewrite what it suggested, so the time saved was pretty minimal ----- ### "GitHub Review" — 5.0/5 > **Peter** | *23 March 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: With the implementation of copilot on GitHub it really help with productivity and fast generation of boilerplate codes with make the project faster. Very easy to use and it worth the money I paid for it > > **Cons**: It’s very hard to navigate from the start because it took me like few weeks before I can get how it works and how productive I can be using it > > it’s an interesting idea that really helps me with my projects most of the time and 90% of the time, I will recommend it ----- ### "Game changer" — 5.0/5 > **Stuart** | *31 December 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The project level overview helps a lot with explaining context. In fact it cuts out the need altogether. > > **Cons**: The fact I run out of credit and even on free tier cannot use it to generate commit messages. This would be a really cool free tier option. > > I used it when it first came out and had to describe context and the project as a whole but then they quickly gave it project awareness. I also use codex with it separately and probably just about prefer codex ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/450531/Copilot?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/450531/Copilot) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
