Microsoft Copilot Reviews

“provides smart suggestions that help

Pros

It is user-friendly and does a good job guessing what you will need next. For example if you are testing a Facebook login for positive cases and ask for a full set of test cases, it may proactively ask if you also want the negative scenarios. That makes the workflow feel very natural and helpful.

Cons

The UI/editor still needs work. So it would be better if past prompts were shown in a more interactive and organized way instead of how they appear now. I'd also prefer the response area to open on a separate screen rather than inside an overlay window. On top of that when prompts are entered too frequently or too quickly, it sometimes throws an error saying it could not generate the response.

“useful rewrites but pricey license

Pros

One thing I really like is being able to ask it to rewrite an email that sounds a bit harsh and make it more diplomatic or on the flip side, turn a list of ideas into a well structured PowerPoint presentation.

Cons

Well the license is still a high cost for a small business and it can make you question whether it pays off right away for every type of user.

“Offers helpful support for lesson planning

Pros

Whenever I am having trouble putting together content for a lesson or need a quick hand, Copilot turns out to be a very useful resource that makes lesson planning feel far less draining and challenging.

Cons

Everything seems fine overall. I have not run into any major issues and it is also the approved AI tool in our workplace.

“useful across microsoft tools

Pros

Being built into the Microsoft ecosystem makes it very easy to use every day. I can access it right inside Microsoft 365 and it now supports many smart AI chat features as well. It is especially helpful when I need to fix Microsoft-related issues like Windows problems, driver errors or checking laptop performance.

Cons

To me it still feels a bit like a ChatGPT copy. Though it is definitely capable and the features are impressive but it still doesn't feel quite as advanced or refined as ChatGPT. On top of that it can glitch from time to time when I throw too many queries at it especially when I enter longer words or full sentences.

“provides the best writing suggestions

Pros

The writing suggestions are my favorite part because they save me a lot of time, make my writing clearer and cut down the amount of editing I have to do.

Cons

One downside is that you cannot compare suggestions side by side. Also it sometimes deletes what you have written and if you do not notice the inserted text right away, recovering your original writing can be difficult.

“Makes it easy to access data

Pros

Since it is connected to my business OneDrive, it can access my data easily and fits naturally into the Microsoft tools I already use.

Cons

It still has trouble with more complex tasks although it is dependable for analysis and simpler work. The limit on how many documents can be attached is also still pretty restrictive.

“meeting notes saves time

Pros

Microsoft Copilot has honestly made my work life so much more manageable. I rely on it to capture meeting minutes during calls and turn them into summaries I can send straight to my teams. Overall it saves me a huge amount of time and helps me keep up with everything without falling behind.

Cons

There were a few times when it became unreliable and would not generate my meeting notes or action items which was really inconvenient. But it seems Microsoft released a fix and after that, it started working properly again.

“easy to use!

Pros

Having it built right into Windows makes it pretty easy to use and I can quickly drop in files and ask specific questions related to whatever I am working on.

Cons

Only thing I'd still want is the ability to upload files in bulk or add a zipped folder of documents so it can work from a larger pool of resources.

“innovative and creative companion

Pros

Copilot is honestly one of the most amazing tools I have ever used. Overall it feels mind blowing, truly innovative and very creative exactly the kind of product the world needs right now. Now I am fully on board with it and have no plans to go back.

Cons

The only thing I would mention is that generating a JPEG can take a bit longer than expected. I also noticed you need to be very specific with your instructions to get the best results. Other than those small issues, I would not change much at all.

“Fast AI help always !

Pros

Microsoft Copilot feels like one of Microsoft's best AI tools. It is really useful and having it built right into Edge makes it quick to access anytime.

Cons

No real complaints here, it is very powerful, on par with ChatGPT and I especially enjoy having the icon in the Edge browser since it makes searching for something incredibly fast.

“allows broad microsoft integration

Pros

It is deeply integrated into the Microsoft ecosystem from Office 365 and Visual Studio all the way to the Start menu. So it has wide support across many different types of software.

Cons

Even though it runs on ChatGPT, it still feels less capable than the real ChatGPT experience almost like it's using a smaller or simplified version of the model.

“Packed with powerful file feedback features

Pros

One thing that really stands out is being able to send large files to Copilot and get its feedback. Plus sometimes it responds in a way that feels surprisingly human. Honestly there are so many things I like about it and it is hard to list them all.

Cons

What I really cannot stand is that it won't accept text longer than 10,240 characters. I also miss the notebook feature it used to have. What would be even better is if Microsoft offered a free form sandbox or builder with no limits keeping the notebook setup, allowing any length of text and even letting you build a full app.

“productive microsoft 365 companion

Pros

It is convenient to work with because it connects closely with Microsoft 365 apps, helps improve productivity, stays aware of context and is simple to use.

Cons

A few downsides are that availability can be limited, the price may feel high, answers are sometimes inaccurate and it can leave you pretty dependent on the Microsoft ecosystem.

“simplifies everything!

Pros

Copilot responds quickly and the direct links to sources make it much easier to verify the answers it provides.

Cons

It still has some knowledge limitations compared with alternatives that rely on open databases which can sometimes deliver more complete and capable answers.

“user friendly and helpful tool

Pros

Using it has been a really positive experience as it is user-friendly, fresh and new. A simple search is all it takes for it to jump in and help with research or just casual browsing. Plus the Think Deeper feature is especially impressive as it explores the emotional and spiritual side of a search in a very thoughtful way.

Cons

At this point there really is not much I can say against this tool, since it is working very well and doing exactly what it is supposed to do.

“Trusted inside the work suite

Pros

Since it's built into the tools I already use for work, I feel much more comfortable using it and sharing information without worrying about sending things outside my usual work apps.

Cons

The interface could be designed better. If you are not using it in full screen mode, you end up having to scroll constantly.

“Powerful SIEM integration

Pros

It works really well with security products such as SIEM platforms which makes it very useful in that kind of environment.

Cons

On rare occasions though it may not return the results I am looking for.

“smart microsoft 365 assistant

Pros

Copilot really shines in how well it connects with different Microsoft 365 apps. Plus it offers intelligent help, boosts productivity and gives context aware suggestions and automation that fit naturally into the workflow.

Cons

A drawback is that some suggestions can be slightly off from what I am actually working on, so sometimes I need to correct them manually.

“versatile help for every task

Pros

Whether I need creative images or a clear explanation of something technical like Fibonacci retracement it helps with many different tasks. Overall it really feels like having a very versatile assistant on hand.

Cons

It does not always provide every answer or the most current information immediately.

“very helpful office companion

Pros

Right from the start it works very well with other Microsoft products and fits naturally into that ecosystem. Plus it understands everyday language very accurately, feels very easy to use and helps you stay on top of tasks right inside Office and other tools.

Cons

The price can be a drawback especially if another subscription is not in your budget. Because it has so many features and abilities, learning everything can take time unless you pick things up quickly. And every now and then, the AI also makes mistakes or produces writing that could be better though that will likely improve with future updates.

“A great tool overall!

Pros

Since it is built into most Microsoft products, getting to the AI tools feels very simple and accessible for users.

Cons

At times the responses are not fully accurate especially when the topic gets very specific.

“Always provides accurate results

Pros

Having DALL-E 3 built in for image creation alongside ChatGPT feels like a real upgrade. Plus it delivers more accurate results than earlier versions and does a better job of blocking violent or explicit content from being generated.

Cons

It does run a bit slower than some other AI tools although that makes sense since the service is still being improved to provide more accurate responses and more current information.

“useful features but too opinionated

Pros

One thing it does really well is handle a mix of tasks in one place. Plus it can generate images, look up information on the web and even answer questions based on PDFs and content from web pages which makes it pretty versatile.

Cons

The biggest problem is how argumentative it can be. Like sometimes it pushes an extreme politically correct agenda and acts like it should tell me how to feel about people or situations. For example it actually argued with me that the year was 2021. An AI tool should not debate obvious facts or try to control how I feel.

“fast summaries and smart assistance

Pros

Using it as an AI assistant within the Edge browser has been really helpful. Its standout capabilities are generating data, summarizing information and handling a huge volume of content in a very short amount of time.

Cons

Artificial intelligence is clearly where technology is headed but it still has plenty of room for improvement.
