"Pushing code too fast"
What do you like best about GitGuardian?

When you work on your code, you want to make sure is pushed securely in Github. However, when you push it, sometimes you forget some parameters that may be maliciuos to the app security. That's when GitGuardina comes in: thanks to their alerts, I am able to monitor and fix unappropiate code pushed into Github Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitGuardian?

The drawbacks though are that the information you pushed, sometimes very sensitive, are not clear on how are exposed on GitGuardian. Well, at least by my side, I am not aware if it is encrypted or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great resource for beginners in software development"
What do you like best about GitGuardian?

As a beginner studying software development, building great-looking and functional programs is usually at the forefront of my mind while security is an afterthought. GitGuardian has shown me how bad that mindset is by highlighting the massive amount of insecurity code I put into GitHub such as API keys.

This has shown me how important writing secure apps is and how tools like GitGuardian offer a piece of mind because human error is a real thing that can expose you to flaws that, despite your best efforts, inevitably slip through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitGuardian?

GitGuardian seems to be geared towards professionals which I understand but I wish they had a student tier so I can learn to explore the full suite of the product and enter the workforce with it in my skill utility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Securing Secrets with GitGuardian"
What do you like best about GitGuardian?

GitGuardian is exceptional because it automatically detects secrets. It's really comforting to know that if I make any mistakes like including API keys, tokens, passwords or other confidential information in my code submissions they will be quickly identified and brought to my attention. The way it seamlessly integrates into my workflow feels so natural serving as a guardian that helps me avoid jeopardizing the security of my projects. Additionally receiving alerts about vulnerable dependencies adds a layer of security making GitGuardian an essential tool, in my programming arsenal. I often use in my repositories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitGuardian?

Up to this point, I have not encountered any issues with the service provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Service to know vulnerabilities and accidental secret publishing in git commits"
What do you like best about GitGuardian?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitGuardian?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great to think my secrets are safe!"
What do you like best about GitGuardian?

One of the most practical aspects is that we may sometimes overlook the configuration settings or the values of environment variables, but now, that's no longer a concern. GitGurdian will take care of that. And it's very very easy to integrate and the features it has are well rounded. And the support from the team is also sensibly quick and responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitGuardian?

There isn't anything specific, but I believe the user interface could be more intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Peace of Mind with GitGuardian"
What do you like best about GitGuardian?

GitGuardian has revolutionized our security approach with its effortless implementation, ensuring a smooth integration process that seamlessly became an integral part of our development workflow. The exceptional customer support is a key highlight; their responsive and knowledgeable team has been instrumental in promptly addressing our queries. The frequency of use and the platform's intuitive design have made it a go-to solution for real-time threat detection. GitGuardian's rich feature set, including comprehensive scanning and customizable alerting options, also provides a robust shield against potential data exposures in our repositories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitGuardian?

While my experience with GitGuardian has been overwhelmingly positive, seeing even more customization options regarding alerting and reporting would be beneficial. Fine-tuning these features to align with specific organizational preferences could enhance the user experience. However, this is a minor suggestion, and the overall effectiveness of GitGuardian in safeguarding our code far outweighs any little choices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"life saver"
What do you like best about GitGuardian?

it mails us and gives the link making it easy to implement and use and it basically a lifesaver for me as I am someone who usually forgets to protect the API keys it is git guardian which always mails and another good thing is they allow to check if the API key is still valid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitGuardian?

there are no major downside to git guardian but If it was possible to remove something from git logs that will be really good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GitGuardian: A Lifeline for Swift Security Patches"
What do you like best about GitGuardian?

In the fast-paced world of my software engineering classes at Alx Africa, tight deadlines often expose my code to security issues. GitGuardian emerges as a beacon of speed, quickly detecting vulnerabilities in my public repositories. Its exceptional performance and intuitive interface make it an essential ally for strengthening the security of my codes. As a software engineer facing tight schedules, GitGuardian's agility not only quickly identifies potential threats, but also allows me to intelligently rectify security vulnerabilities, ensuring a seamless and secure development workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitGuardian?

Although GitGuardian excels in many aspects, it is important to note a few potential drawbacks. Some users may find that the tool's advanced features come with a steeper learning curve, requiring a little more time for new users to fully exploit its capabilities. Additionally, the pricing structure can be seen as a limitation for small teams or individual developers with budget constraints. Continuous monitoring could potentially impact performance, especially for larger repositories. However, these disadvantages must be weighed against the significant advantages that GitGuardian offers by improving code security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Helps us Find and Fix Secrets Leaks FAST"
What do you like best about GitGuardian?

I like that it finds secrets as soon as they're commited and pushed! It integrates with Git so I can see who wrote the commit, and I can easily assign the issue to them and track its status from creation to resolution. The categorization and validation features are awesome, and the pre-commit hooks that prevent secrets from being committed in the first place are awesome too! Integrations with Discord and Slack are awesome too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitGuardian?

I have no complaints about GitGuardian whatsoever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
