I am thankful for Git Gaurdian, it automatically detected api keys I had left in my code, which by mistake I committed.

I don't get dislike as of now, sometimes, it highlights false positive, but that is okay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Whenever I published any code that contains sensitive token or credentials, it detected right way and sent me an email about that. It is the most wonderful task that might slip way from mind if I don't give enough attention Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does not well integrate into telegram, discord or such messaging platforms. Also, it could not detect an AWS token if the variable name is not obvious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
