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.

They could improve their payment plans to offer more flexibility for all types of developers.

Cons

Everything has been going well except for the payment plan. The integration with GitHub has been smooth but the pricing has been a bit too high for us.

Gitguardian prevented a major leak in my codebase
Pros

It identify the data breach really fast and provided steps that confirmed me my information was secure.

Cons

I think the UI could be made a little more intuitive as it can sometimes tough be to figure out what leaks it has detected and where I need to fix them especially in a stressful moment.

GitGuardian is awesome
Pros

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.

Cons

So far I have not come across any problems worth noting in 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
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.

A+ for GitGuardian
Pros

I appreciate how easy it is to spot when secrets are committed into the code. Combined with its low price point this has been a major win for our team and codebase.

Cons

The UI can be a little challenging to navigate because there is so much information. For example, I find it difficult to figure out how to exclude certain repositories from the scans.

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.
