## Reviews

### "Great product with integrations. Highly recommend" — 5.0/5

> **Tom** | *26 March 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: GitHub Copilot gives you the option to let it write code for you, or as I do more often than not, use it to Code Review my code.
The interface is easy to use and their are a good number of tokens included at the free tier.
There can choose from several models including Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini and more.
It also embeds nicely with VSCode and PhpStorm.
Customer support is great and Microsoft recently a free workshop in London to highlight how Copilot can be utilised.
> 
> **Cons**: I don't really find many issues with GitHub Copilot. It is a very usable product and is understood my many developers.
> 
> Overall, I think GitHub Copilot is a great addition not only to Github itself, but to the wider community with great IDE integration.

### "Fast, Helpful, but Not Always Right" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *28 January 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: GitHub Copilot accelerates coding with smart suggestions, reduces repetitive work, helps explore new APIs, and boosts productivity—especially for quick prototypes and routine tasks—while learning your style.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes it suggests incorrect or insecure code, can be repetitive, and may reduce learning by over-relying on autocomplete.
> 
> Helpful for speeding up coding and exploring ideas, but occasional wrong suggestions and reliance risks make it a powerful yet imperfect assistant.

### "Great for Students\!" — 3.0/5

> **Soren** | *13 February 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: As a student, Github copilot was affortable and great in use for collaborate with my classmates. It was helpful providing adjustments to my work.
> 
> **Cons**: The applications generation tools were not fully developed and often left me seeking other platforms like chat GPT
> 
> GitHub Copilot is great for any student in pursuit to learn and understand more about software, to seek comprehensive solutions.

### "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.
>

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

> **Mike** | *2 September 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.
