Instant Secrets Detection with Actionable Alerts
What do you like best about the product?
GitGuardian delivers immediate detection and response. When a sensitive file, credential, or secret slips into a commit, it flags it within seconds and pinpoints the exact line that triggered the alert. The platform forces clarity: it shows the severity, lets me classify the criticality, and pushes fast remediation instead of noise. The value is precision, speed, and zero guesswork.
What do you dislike about the product?
The alerting is fast, but the volume can feel heavy when working across multiple repos with frequent commits. False positives still appear, which adds review time. The remediation steps are clear, yet the interface for navigating multiple incidents can feel cluttered, and sorting through similar alerts requires extra manual filtering.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It closes the gap between accidental secret exposure and detection. The moment a credential or sensitive file is committed, it identifies the leak, marks the exact line, and forces immediate remediation. This removes manual scanning, reduces the risk window, and keeps repos clean during SAST and secure code review.

Experience while developing software product
What do you like best about the product?
I like GitGuardian best for its real-time detection of secrets (like API keys and credentials) in both public and private repositories, its easy integration with developer tools and CI/CD pipelines, and its powerful, intuitive dashboard for incident management. The platform groups and prioritizes alerts smartly, minimizing false positives and enabling fast, context-aware remediation. Many reviewers also mention its broad language support, seamless integration with GitHub and GitLab, and automated remediation workflows as standout features.
What do you dislike about the product?
While GitGuardian is a great tool, there are occasional false positives that require manual review. Setting up custom policies or integrating with certain on-prem pipelines also takes a bit more work. However, these minor issues are outweighed by the overall value the platform provides.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitGuardian helps us by detecting leaked secrets like API keys and passwords early in our development process, preventing potential security breaches. Its automated scanning and actionable alerts allow us to fix issues quickly, maintain compliance, and keep our codebase secure with minimal manual effort.
It is extremely useful and easy to use. It helped me improve the security of my software
What do you like best about the product?
In addition to presenting the problem, it also presents the solution, description, and criticality of the issue.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing I don't like for now. Its a good software
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Exposes of secrets
GitGuardian saving your secrets
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact GitGuardian automatically checks and find all the secrets or suspicious things in the code and helps developers discovering them. This, although seems little for a non-developer is a very big thing as these secrets can leads to major data loss, security concerns and even loss of business.
What do you dislike about the product?
Could be a little more powerful to detect all the secrets and also not pose a threat if something is not a secret even if it looks like so. Example env variables should be skipped.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Whenever I push code, we have a lot of environment variables that needs to be taken care of. Sometimes these confidential values get passed into tracked files in Git, unknowingly or by mistake, especially during vibe-coding which is a very big thing nowadays. GitGuardian plays a very very big role in discovering these essential secrets that cannot and should not be exposed to the outside world or could lead to serious damages to the company or business or even an individual and disrupt the work.
So GitGuardians security checks are very essential and needed.
