Has good customer support along with ease of use. Code generation, Video Creation \& Image Generation is better with GitHub Copilot as it has all the required features. Productivity is nice due to GitHub Copilot. > > **Cons**: While GitHub Copilot is powerful, it has limitations. The generated code may not always be accurate or secure, requiring developers to review and adapt it to their standards \& I personally dislike it. > > I can create powerful, task-specific agents in GitHub Copilot to automate coding workflows, collaborate on features, and orchestrate multi-step tasks directly in Visual Studio Code. This is the best feature, so overall I think it's good to go with GitHub Copilot. ----- ### "Helpful Coding Assistant" — 4.0/5 > **Osama** | *21 January 2026* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is very helpful for writing code and reduce the chance of repetition of code. It gives useful suggestions and helps with syntax. Good for learning new programming patterns > > **Cons**: Sometimes code suggestions do not match exact requirement. Subscription cost feels high for beginners. > > Overall experience is positive. It improves productivity and helps to speed up tasks. It is a useful assistant, especially for programmers. ----- ### "Pricing changes ruin a good product" — 2.0/5 > **Damien** | *7 July 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: GitHub Copilot used to be an incredible value for code assistance. For the most part, it still excels at code assistance. They have lots of models to choose from, which is nice for productivity. > > **Cons**: Pricing. The pricing changed significantly. From a flat fee to usage-based. The new pricing is nowhere near what it used to be. Its value for what it provides doesn't rival the competition. I have sadly switched to another product due to this issue. > > Good performance, horrible pricing. Very disappointed about the change in pricing. It's no longer even close to affordable. ----- ### "Good tool for coding" — 4.0/5 > **Samuel** | *12 July 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like you get a generous free usage every month and their payment plans aren't bad prices. I mainly use it for coding in vs code which does wonders for analyzing my code base. Customer service is pretty fast at responding when having issues. I can't really tell you on image or video generation cause I never tried it for them. Great tool for productivity if your working with one of their paid plans but for free plan its only good for it if your doing short jobs. > > **Cons**: What I don't like how they changed their interface in vs code was use to the older one. But as I mention I don't use it for video generation or image generation just maily for code. > > Overall experience is ok but I have used better. Just wish they would have kept the older interface because I was use to it but learned the new interface pretty easy. I would definately recommend it to other coders due to it's great at correcting, analyzing, writing code. ----- ### "From Idea to Prototype in Hours: A Solo Developer’s Secret Weapon" — 5.0/5 > **Jerrid** | *13 April 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: My preferred aspect of GitHub Copilot is its ability to significantly shorten the path from a client’s initial idea to a functional prototype. I can start with a vague concept or a concise brief, and Copilot helps me scaffold the structure, integrate core flows, and iterate directly in Visual Studio Code, all while minimizing boilerplate code. The most substantial benefit for me is its support for custom agents, sub-agents, skills, workflows, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It feels less like mere “auto-complete for code” and more like an adaptable toolkit tailored to my development process. For instance, I set up specialized agents for testing, refactoring, or integration tasks—ensuring the client receives a reliable, bug-free prototype more quickly—and then assemble them into repeatable workflows for new client projects. This level of customization allows me to dedicate more time to product conceptualization and strategy and less to repetitive setup. > > **Cons**: My biggest issue with GitHub Copilot is its limited support options. Even with a subscription, my main avenue for direct assistance seems to be submitting a ticket, which often takes weeks or more to get a reply. Although community forums are useful, the absence of immediate support channels like phone or live chat is very frustrating. Since Copilot plays a crucial role in accelerating my daily tasks, slow and disconnected support becomes a significant obstacle. > > Before using GitHub Copilot, developing a client prototype as a solo developer required extensive manual, repetitive work. Each project began with the same tasks: establishing the basic structure, configuring routing and navigation, creating placeholder screens, setting up build tools, and writing boilerplate code for forms, APIs, and state management. This setup often took several days before I could address the unique aspects of the client’s idea. As a result, I was limited in the number of projects I could handle each week and found it challenging to quickly present clients with tangible progress. The transition to the tool was incredibly seamless. Implementation was straightforward right out of the box; the documentation is excellent, supported by community blogs and YouTube videos. You can even use the Copilot Agent itself to guide you through the initial onboarding. Because of its flawless integration with my VS Code environment, the initial development phase is vastly more efficient. Rather than spending most of my time on scaffolding, I describe the project and have Copilot generate the initial structure. The sheer number of features—especially advanced capabilities like custom agents and sub-agents—takes this a step further. Despite the tool’s power, the ease of use remains high. I can set up agents specialized for different parts of my workflow—one focused on refactoring, another on testing, and another on integration—and chain them into repeatable workflows. For example, after getting a first version of a feature working, I can run a workflow that reviews the code, suggests refactors, and generates tests without leaving my editor. In practical terms, this has had a measurable impact on my business. Because it solves so many friction points, my frequency of use is incredibly high—I rely on it every single day. A working prototype that might have taken several days can often be produced within a day, sometimes even within a few focused hours. That means I can iterate more often with clients, sharing an early version in the next meeting or even the same day. Overall, while the direct customer support relies on a slow ticketing system (as mentioned in my dislikes), the platform itself helps me solve three massive problems: the time required for initial project scaffolding, the friction of repetitive coding, and the overhead of switching context. The ultimate benefit is a much faster idea-to-prototype cycle, more frequent feedback from clients, and a higher baseline of code quality—even as a solo developer on tight timelines. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/1051539/copilot?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/1051539/copilot) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
