## Reviews

### "Best coding assistant out there" — 4.0/5

> **Mike** | *September 2, 2025* | Computer Hardware | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Great value for money: GitHub copilot is by far the most affordable when you compare it with cursor, or paying credits directly to open router. 
Access to multiple models: Github Copilot allows you to access multiple LLMs.
Customizable: you can easily customize Github Copilot to use different system prompt for different workspaces.
By far the best tool for code generation.
> 
> **Cons**: Github copilot has a feature where it allows you to block publicly accessible code to prevent IP infringement. It is unclear how github implemented this feature server side as it often blocks useful code that are clearly written in an idiomatic way.
> 
> Overall I would 100% use Github copilot again in another organization if given the option to. I find Github copilot to be extremely convenient as it integrates very well with existing Github repositories. The only downside is sometimes the error message isn't very transparent when generated code are also found on internet.

### "Great helper to speed up the programming code" — 4.0/5

> **Edward** | *December 18, 2025* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Amazing ability to quickly come up with the programming codes to work with GitHub for small projects such as web pages
> 
> **Cons**: At the moment there is not much negative to say about as I mainly use it to speed up coding and give a meaningful title to the script revision

### "My detailed review on using GitHub Copilot" — 5.0/5

> **PRIYA** | *August 7, 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I liked most about GitHub Copilot is that it provides value for money. 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** | *January 21, 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.

### "The first on the board but last at the ends" — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *August 18, 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It integrates very nicely into the Github suite as well as VS Code which is my preferred IDE. It was one of the first major players in AI assisted development.
> 
> **Cons**: Copilot doesn't seem to produce quite as good a result in agentic coding as Claude or Cursor, and I haven't found a useful CLI experience.
