It is an easy-to-use solution that is also helpful in saving the team's time.""GitHub CoPilot has good stability and performance.""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 product's initial setup is straightforward because it's pushed through the updates.""The most valuable aspects in terms of features, revolve around its code generation capabilities.""Initially, OpenAI is free, but you'll need to pay for it later."

"We can keep track of incidences. There is a bucket where we keep all our information, and it enables communication between stakeholders. It helps us collaborate with each other.""Being able to have the required information for project management is valuable. I've got multiple people accessing it, and I'm tracking tasks with percentages done. It allows me to have detailed notes and provides the ability to attach documents. I have used a lot of project management solutions, and there were gaps in terms of what was available. ServiceNow has got all the features and functionalities. It is a solid solution. It is also easy to get into and use. It is certainly highly scalable.""It has more extensive features as compared to the other competitors.""I really like ServiceNow and all of the features. The way incident management is built is very helpful. You have a lot of options to optimize it, customize it, and automate it. You also have a lot of options for reporting. There are plenty of possibilities to do preference management within your customer CMDB file. These are very useful features, which I missed in BMC Remedy ITSM. ServiceNow is the best ticketing tool I have used so far.""ServiceNow gives us a lot for free: workflows, organizational structures, service portal, forms, reporting, disaster recovery, and so on.""Easy to implement and consolidate different platforms and users with useful functionalities.""ServiceNow provides quite good insights about what is happening in the organization.""You can put information in or export it out quickly, which is very useful when you have weekly or monthly reports."

Cons
"GitHub CoPilot's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required.""The solution is expensive. It should also support other programming languages.""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.""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.""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.""GitHub CoPilot's alerting features need improvement."

More GitHub CoPilot Cons →

"There is a need to enhance ticket details visibility on the portal, such as displaying SLA information, which currently requires development effort.""It should have more artificial intelligence for business and work capabilities. The community is not so active. There must be initiatives to make the community talk more and share more information.""The scalability needs improvement.""Vulnerability management could be improved. Also, integration with tools such as Microsoft Defender ATP needs improvement.""There are Virtual Task Boards in the tool in the latest releases. There are many of them in the Scaled Agile Framework. There is some room there for improvement. It's really quite promising but, at the same time, it could be improved and I believe it will be improved soon.""I find the way you need to attach things like screenshots and stuff is a bit gimmicky. I'm a casual user. I'll use it once every two months and only when I have an incident that I need to report. You don't get a lot of experience with it when you're just using it once in a while like that. Therefore, it needs to be more intuitive so that you don't have to re-learn how to do simple tasks as the way to do certain things just isn't obvious.""The user interface for accessing assistance sometimes disconnects.""It's not user-friendly by default, but it can be customized to be customer-friendly."

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."
