Tabnine Reviews & Product Details

I am working as a developer and use Tabnine for several aspects that I find really valuable. The Boilerplate Reduction feature is great for automating the generation of repetitive code structures like unit test frameworks and standard API configurations. I appreciate its Syntax Navigation because it provides real-time suggestions for library-specific functions, which means I don't have to look up documentation as frequently. The Contextual Logic Completion is handy for completing complex statements and loops by analyzing existing patterns. I like its Language Versatility as it maintains consistent productivity across multiple environments, thanks to its broad model training. The Zero Data Retention feature assures complete privacy by processing code snippets ephemerally, which is crucial for sensitive projects. I also value the Vendor Agnosticism, offering seamless functionality across Git-based repositories and over 40 IDEs. And lastly, Model Flexibility is a highlight for me, supporting switches between various underlying LLMs without workflow disruption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the Free Tier Constraints limiting, as the restricted feature set in the basic version makes it less accessible for individual hobbyists compared to other free-to-use AI assistants. Also, there's a need for improved resource efficiency as the local inference engine's high CPU/RAM usage penalizes users with mid-range hardware. Lastly, the current pricing model could use some change, like the introduction of a middle-tier or 'pay-as-you-go' option for independent developers who need chat features but don't require the full Enterprise suite.

Nothing, AI assistant is useless and you end up wasting more time than being efficient....it creates garbage code and context is limited to a single file. input window hangs often and I have to restart the IDE frequently. Model is not particulalry fine tuned for coding as it makes basic mistakes and requires more itme to fix the issues than it would to write the code manually.

I cancelled my subscription within 3 days of using premium models.

There are better options like Cursor...even Github and Cody are cheaper. Or you can grab your own key and use Cline. All of them are a lot better than Tabnine which is not only more expensive but worst performance.

It is glitchy, generates garbage code, logs out 10 times a day and very poor cache management.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything...It is glitchy, generates garbage code, logs out 10 times a day and very poor cache management...and worst...they don't let you delete your payment details from their platform...A SCAM.

And when you contact customer support, you can only send an email...there is no way to reach them otherwise.

And worst, they never replied back Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tabnine helps me a lot with productivity when developing desktop applications, using its extension in VSCode Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far I haven't found anything that could discredit the use of Tabnine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

TabNine might be a good option for industry applications that have to be aware of security and cannot share their data to remote servers. I am a private user that has been using this software for the past 2 years and have seen the progress of TabNine. It does what it promises but thats about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I never write reviews but after canceling my subscription and realizing that the free version offers the same as the pro version, I have to write something.

So what does TabNine offer?

1. A coding ChatBot that automatically loads your project into context. You can use all common Chat APIs such as OpenAI, Claude etc. but I am pretty sure that the context is heavily limited and the overall performance is dialed down to save resources. The answers are much worse than directly interacting with OpenAI API. So why not directly spend the 20$ on ChatGPT Plus? Thats what I am doing now.

2. A inline completion assistant. The inline completion assistant has only minorly improved and is far from the state-of-the-art. Actually, it is the one part of TabNine which sold me for it but unfortunately did not improve in the last two years. When I cancelled my subscription, I also realized I get very similar quality of inline completions with the free version.

So my big question: Why should you buy TabNine as a private person when you can buy ChatGPT Plus and have much more value for your money? I dont know.

Also a side note: After being fed up with the inline-completions. I wrote me own VS Code plugin in a week that performs way better and is more responsive.

So definitely: Nowadays unfortunately a no-buy, the company missed to keep up in the AI industry! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing is since it runs on local PC, the task completion is extremely quick and there are teams options viz. search allows me to find relevant code snippets in my team's codebase directly in IDE and teams options helps analyze my team's codebase to provide insights into patterns, it does code reviews and suggests code improvement practices using AI.

Tabnine can be resource intensive and may cause performace and memory issues on large codebases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The core reason about going towards using Tabnine is the security aspect. It is hard to have guarantees on companies that rely a lot on controlling whole ecosystems, even if they assure you they don't collect your data. We love the fact about being able to deploy Tabnine on our on-premise hardware without relying on being connected all time (we use certain products for our cloud workloads to sync up with our core solution, but it is great to not relying on our tools to be connected too) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far no cons, although maybe the solving capabilities on the tool still have to catch up with the other alternatives. It is understandable as it doesn't retain data to train on, but so far its capabilities exceed what we need Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am really amazed by how well it provides the anticipated code. Sometimes it suprises me especially during DSA practice, it identifies the problem including the time and space complexity limits and gives code accordingly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it will take a while to trigger and at times I need to manually trigger it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quickly Adapts to my Code style and formats, updating to accomodate for Variables and Functions I have defined. Quickly Extrapolates the direction your code is going and offers contextual suggestions.It has sped up my development time and helped me as I learn new languages. I also like that it works with every IDE Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it offers up too much at once. but I don't mind typing a few extra lines while it figures it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Increases productivity by suggesting as we type. I mean right from the time we start writing our first line of code, Tabnine comes into action. Not to say features like generating function definition based on function declarations. Works on local machine and so highly secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hallucination risk is there if one is not sure what one is intending to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tabnine is sometimes better at egiving tendered suggestion while writting code unlike others. SInce its customizeable, it becomes a big advantage as our codebase has been used to tarin the private model for better suggestions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its very heavy on the IDE unlike copilot or others and sometimes the copilot due to its massive training size works better in comparision to tabnine Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
