What do you like best about the product?

As a novice, I stumbled upon GitGuardian and utilized it to protect sensitive data, particularly API keys and credentials, from accidental exposure. The tool continuously scans all repositories, including those that are private, in real time, which has been a source of confidence for me. The application is very user-friendly, and alarm bells are raised instantly when any threat is detected. I also appreciate that it does not interrupt my workflow, but rather enhances it by managing to integrate itself within my Git operations so that I devote more time towards coding rather than worrying about managing secrets. Customer support immediately responds with a valid mail about user having lost their confidential information online. This creates ease of implementation for a new member to the github community understanding what to and what not to disclose online. GitGuardian automatically gets active when a potential confidential information is leaked, making it the best among all other security methods. And no matter how many times does somebody repeat a mistake, GitGuardian always has their back which although makes frequency of use more but in the longer run teaches the end user something new each time.

What do you dislike about the product?

GitGuardian has many great functionalities for its users, but one drawback that I found is that some alerts tend to be over sensitive making them pick harmless things that do not require any action. This may be overwhelming especially for the newbie users, who are not yet clear with what a real threat entails. Furthermore, the usability of the software could be enhanced by making alert navigation as well as management easier. Nonetheless, these aspects are only a small fraction compared to the overall functionality commercialized, overall this creates easy environment for learners to protect their data whatsoever reevaluating confidential stuff.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Anything related to keeping possibly confidential things private, if accidentally leaked on github, is taken care by gitguardian. This in itself is a huge feature.

What do you like best about the product?

Very quick response to issues on GitHub projects.

Detailed explanation of the issue.

What do you dislike about the product?

Soometimes I think, GitGuardian is not right.

E.g. some infomation is stored in .env files, like passwords or STMP access. This is often not wrong in my mind.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

At the moment, G2 is helping to show potential issues, however most of the time, I considered that as not a high risk issue.

What do you like best about the product?

GitGuardian is excellent at detecting sensitive information, such as API keys and credentials, in real-time across repositories. It integrates seamlessly with platforms like GitHub and provides timely alerts, which makes securing codebases easy and efficient. The dashboard is intuitive and helps track potential vulnerabilities effectively.

What do you dislike about the product?

The main downside is that the frequent alerts can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially for large projects with many contributors. More fine-tuned control over alert settings could help reduce noise without compromising security.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

GitGuardian helps us prevent sensitive data leaks by automatically scanning for exposed secrets such as API keys, credentials, and tokens in our repositories. This has significantly reduced the risk of security breaches and ensures compliance with security best practices, making our codebase much more secure. It saves us time by automating the process and provides peace of mind knowing that potential vulnerabilities are detected early.

What do you like best about the product?

When i pushed the secret keys or there is an threat in code able to detecting and making noise in my mail box 😉

What do you dislike about the product?

As i think in it.






















Nothing as of now.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

If there an threat or vulnerable or secret keys in my code, able to detecting it smootly.

That it works very fast and it notifies me adequately

What do you dislike about the product?

Could give a false sense of security if it does miss some kind of secret

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I think it's self explanatory
