MicrosoftHi osionjet - Thank you for your inquiry! Could you please specify whether you are comparing ChatGPT to Copilot with commercial data protection or to Copilot for Microsoft 365? We appreciate the feedback!
Hi, as I mentioned its Copilot with Commercial Data Protection (Copilot formerly BCE). We have enabled it for all staff as a secure alternative to free GenAI tools. We've positive feedback but the main complaint we're getting is around speed (staff have used Gemini and ChatGPT at this stage and have speed expectations).
Ironically we are trialing Copilot for Microsoft 365 which is an additional $30 per month on top of our E5 license. I asked the same question as before in the edge sidebar (web tab now we have Copilot for Microsoft 365). I used precise mode (as before). It took 58 seconds to generate 3 paragraghs! It's actually slower. I understand there are additional compute demands to make it secure, but I was expecting a much faster experience after paying for an improved version.
