Effective tool to find exposed secrets

  • May 26, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Beautiful UI, Ease to use, very fast in finding secrets in code repositories, it took less than one minute to receive an email after some commits in a new branch I was working last week =)
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not a dislike, but I have a sugestion: I haven't studied a lot about gitguardian yet, but I think that it could have an automatic correction tool for hiding the secrets it finds in our repositories.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I still haven't studied many things in gitguardian, but it's amazing to have an automatic repository reviewer to find secrets exposed, I am now planning to study other features so I can take the next level on my code security

What do you like best about the product?
I have been using GitGuardian for my college Project. First and foremost UX is really good and intuitive. My project is around security so I am aware of the necessity of that and GitGuardian is an appropriate alternative to other open source products. I faced a problem initally and i found enough support to help me around.
What do you dislike about the product?
They could work on a more refined payment plan. This will give more flexibity to all category of developers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been working on creating a product to provide better enterprise search solutions and this has been helping there.

Helps increase productivity and identify and prioritize security incidents

  • May 02, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

Our developers use the GitGuardian platform to securely access and manage secrets within their repositories. This allows them to identify and address any potential security risks.

How has it helped my organization?

GitGuardian's detection capabilities are good.

The accuracy of detections and the false positive rate are good.

It has improved the abilities of our developers and security team.

The playbooks help to identify and prioritize security incidents.

GitGuardian helped us increase our secret detection rate.

GitGuardian helped to increase our security team's productivity. It allows us to find the secrets and their repository faster. As the security team is focusing on one app to audit it, we also look at the GitGuardian findings for that app, and that is easier than looking for the secrets manually.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the general incident reporting system. It provides informative data with good filtering and reporting options.

What needs improvement?

We'd like to request a new GitGuardian feature that automates user onboarding and access control for code repositories. Ideally, when a user contributes to a repository, they would be automatically added to GitGuardian and granted access to view that specific repository. This would eliminate the need for manual user creation and permission assignment within the platform.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the GitGuardian Platform for one and a half years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The GitGuardian Platform is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The GitGuardian Platform can deploy at scale.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing for GitGuardian is fair.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate the GitGuardian Platform eight out of ten.

Getting started with GitGuardian required some preliminary setup on our part. This involved configuring both our on-premise GitHub Enterprise server and the GitGuardian application itself, granting the application access to the enterprise server.

GitGuardian requires around two hours per week of maintenance. We have our scripts that add users to the tool as needed. So we have a script that looks at our GitHub server talks to that API, and uses the information from that to add users to GitGuardian. And we have to maintain those because sometimes just like with any code, we have to make sure that process is still working.

GitGuardian's onboarding process and customer success teams were helpful.

I recommend GitGuardian as an easy-to-use tool that tackles a major security risk often overlooked by companies. This platform can significantly improve your software development lifecycle.

While detecting hidden functionality within a security program for application development isn't the highest priority, it does hold some value. If resources allow, it's worth considering incorporating methods to identify such secrets.

Organizations considering the GitGuardian Platform should establish clear action points for employees who will be using the tool. This ensures everyone understands how to leverage GitGuardian effectively within their workflow.

Great Service to know vulnerabilities and accidental secret publishing in git commits

  • May 01, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I almost immediately get email regardiing any public secret pushed or vulnerability in my code pushed to github,

Very easy to understand and useful suggestions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Many times false positive alerts gets triggerred and like I added blank pem files or dummy secrets. It doesn't have AI intelligence to determine false positives.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping in identifying any accidental secret leak in git repo and open code vulnerabilities. Using this I can be confident on what is being pushed on github is secure.

GitGuardian has always had my back.

  • April 29, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The timely response after I do something wrong in my commit such as exposing the authentication keys or any other secure information. The app is very easy to use, moreover can be used even without us being aware that it is working in the back. The integration and implementation was as easy as logging in with my github credentials. I use it all the time or better, I do not even know it is being used all the time. Cannot comment on the swiftness of the customer support as I have not had to contact the support till now.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is not up to the mark, my friends and colleagues find it a bit confusing with all the icons and symbols in the UI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
providing secure keys protection
