Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Initially, OpenAI is free, but you'll need to pay for it later.""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.""GitHub CoPilot has good stability and performance.""The most valuable aspects in terms of features, revolve around its code generation capabilities.""The product's initial setup is straightforward because it's pushed through the updates.""The document generation features are valuable.""GitHub CoPilot accelerates productivity. It is an easy-to-use solution that is also helpful in saving the team's time.""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."

"It gave us professionalized, faster incident turn around times. Improved quality of information shared with our customers. Over time we build an extensive knowledge base that assists in both self-service as in services provided by the servicedesk when handling incidents.""I have found that sorting and grouping functions are particularly useful.""It allows us to filter the data, create graphs, and get detailed reports.""You can have it installed and up and running within hours if you know what you're doing. Time to market would be one of the main things to consider.""Will give us better control over asset management and technical debt once we can centralize all contract information.""The solution integrates well with other products.""The biggest feature is that it is cloud-based, so it's always updated, it's always current. We don't have to worry about patches, revisions. We're always working with the latest version.""I don't have to look through a whole bunch of other incidents that aren't relevant to me. It's very useful in that sense."

Cons
"The suggestions provided by the product must be improved.""GitHub CoPilot's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required.""GitHub CoPilot’s integration with other solutions could be improved.""GitHub CoPilot's alerting features need improvement.""Some of the suggestions provided by GitHub CoPilot are not accurate, making it an area of concern where improvements are required.""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.""The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""There's room for improvement to ensure that suggestions align more precisely with the context of what I'm seeking, minimizing instances of unrelated or inaccurate code suggestions."

More GitHub CoPilot Cons →

"There should be greater integration with other enterprise applications. We're using Microsoft, Oracle, and other applications, and it would be good to have a greater integration on some of the immediate hiccups that you have with these services. It doesn't mean that when we have a problem with using another application, ServiceNow should be able to fix it, but ServiceNow should be able to alert us to things. There should be a bit more automation or integration.""An area for improvement would be the accessibility of downloaded and compressed files.""It became kind of complex to set it up without a general lack of knowledge of the particular feature-function capabilities. Features and capabilities could have been explained better to the end-users.""In an upcoming release, there should be more administration tools.""We can't update bulk tickets using a simple query language. Jira lets us update hundreds of tickets with one command. In ServiceNow, you need to select each task separately to close them. The dashboards could also be more user-friendly. Monday.com has better dashboards.""Most people are discussing UIs, but I'm a developer. I would say 80-90% of the people would appreciate that, that's easy for them, but from a developer perspective, it's hard for me, because for me it's clunky""We are struggling with the scheduling part, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it is a ServiceNow issue. It could be the way we have configured it. We don't have it configured in a way where you can schedule a support call with our end users. We are looking for more automation in the box and the chat feature.""Integration capabilities can improve."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The product offers a free version and a paid version. Whether to choose the product's free version or paid version depends on the size of the company where it will be used."
  • "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."
  • "GitHub CoPilot comes readily available for enterprise customers, so it's a free add-on if you already have GitHub's enterprise license."
  • "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."
  • "It's affordable."
  • "There is a need to pay around 10 USD to be able to use the solution."
  • "We have a demo license. Once we understand what we'll do, we'll start with a paid license."
  • More GitHub CoPilot Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The first impact for the customer is that it is expensive, but do not forget that it is a solution that includes infrastructure; a single cost, easy to justify."
  • "It has a higher cost compared to local/regional solutions."
  • "We know that ServiceNow is not cheap, it's more expensive than other solutions. But we are trying to increase our ability to handle tickets so that the cost per ticket is less."
  • "It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost."
  • "ServiceNow pricing is an art, not a science. The deal depends on how commercially savvy you are, which does make it something that is quite difficult to get right. It is most definitely an opportunity area for ServiceNow to improve and have more visibility around pricing of the different products within the platform."
  • "ServiceNow is a leader and its pricing is quite good, quite competitive... Sometimes some plugins are not priced reasonably but, generally, the platform itself, its modules, are priced reasonably."
  • "Isn't pricing always too much? We really do chafe at the ITIL licensing. ITOM is also pretty expensive."
  • "Initially, the licensing model ServiceNow came up with was very good. But now, from a licensing perspective, they are changing their model day by day. It is becoming a bit expensive for customers."
