GitGuardian has always had my back.
GitGuardian has always had my back.
Pros
I like the fast response when I make mistakes in my commit like exposing authentication keys or other secure information. The app is simple and works in the background without me even realizing it. The integration was as easy as login in with my GitHub details. I use it regular or more accurately, its always running without me needing to interact. I can't comment on customer support because I have not needed to reach out yet.
Cons
The UI does not quite meet expectations. My colleagues and friends find all the icons and symbols in the UI a bit confusing.

It is quite efficient in detecting potential password leaks within Github limits. Without GitGuardian's alerts I would have missed several errors I made which could have caused major security issues.

First impression of working with GitGuardian
First impression of working with GitGuardian
Pros
I have had a great experience with Gitguardian. It helped me safeguard my code by preventing leaks of sensitive data and secrets. This tool is ideal for small teams up to 25 people and for individual users. The automatic scanning of commits and alerts for potential threats were the features I found most useful. The product was easy to use and integrated smoothly with my GitHub workflow. I highly recommend Gitguardian to anyone looking to secure their code and avoid data leaks.
Cons
I believe having more detailed control over which repositories and files are tracked would be a useful feature.

Great product
Great product
Pros
The best feature of gitguardian is its ability to detect secrets by analyzing string entropy rather than relying on regex patterns. This helps find database passwords and other sensitive information that do not follow a predictable pattern which GitHubs security tools cannot do.
Cons
I cannot think of anything major. It did take me a while to fully grasp the billing model though.

Fit to purpose to our needs / Very little I need to admin
Pros
Installation was very quick taking about 30 minutes to complete using the QuickStart guide. I initially spent a couple of extra hours trying to set up manual integration which turned out to be unnecessary. The remediation process is great minimizing back and forth emails and making communication across users much simpler. I can focus on what is most critical to us which has streamlined the remediation process. Notifications are automatic meaning I do not have to investigate every single incident. The Github integration automatically detects secrets within the code and blocks merges if needed.
Cons
There are a lot of integration options which might be a plus for others but it confused me. In my case I was not sure if I needed a "VCS/GitHub" or "CI/CD GitHub Actions integration. The pricing plan for small businesses is not very clear either and you need to "contact sales" for more details.
