Beginner friendly
What do you like best about the product?
As a novice, I stumbled upon GitGuardian and utilized it to protect sensitive data, particularly API keys and credentials, from accidental exposure. The tool continuously scans all repositories, including those that are private, in real time, which has been a source of confidence for me. The application is very user-friendly, and alarm bells are raised instantly when any threat is detected. I also appreciate that it does not interrupt my workflow, but rather enhances it by managing to integrate itself within my Git operations so that I devote more time towards coding rather than worrying about managing secrets. Customer support immediately responds with a valid mail about user having lost their confidential information online. This creates ease of implementation for a new member to the github community understanding what to and what not to disclose online. GitGuardian automatically gets active when a potential confidential information is leaked, making it the best among all other security methods. And no matter how many times does somebody repeat a mistake, GitGuardian always has their back which although makes frequency of use more but in the longer run teaches the end user something new each time.
What do you dislike about the product?
GitGuardian has many great functionalities for its users, but one drawback that I found is that some alerts tend to be over sensitive making them pick harmless things that do not require any action. This may be overwhelming especially for the newbie users, who are not yet clear with what a real threat entails. Furthermore, the usability of the software could be enhanced by making alert navigation as well as management easier. Nonetheless, these aspects are only a small fraction compared to the overall functionality commercialized, overall this creates easy environment for learners to protect their data whatsoever reevaluating confidential stuff.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anything related to keeping possibly confidential things private, if accidentally leaked on github, is taken care by gitguardian. This in itself is a huge feature.
Essential Tool for Detecting Security Risks in Codebases
What do you like best about the product?
GitGuardian is excellent at detecting sensitive information, such as API keys and credentials, in real-time across repositories. It integrates seamlessly with platforms like GitHub and provides timely alerts, which makes securing codebases easy and efficient. The dashboard is intuitive and helps track potential vulnerabilities effectively.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main downside is that the frequent alerts can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially for large projects with many contributors. More fine-tuned control over alert settings could help reduce noise without compromising security.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitGuardian helps us prevent sensitive data leaks by automatically scanning for exposed secrets such as API keys, credentials, and tokens in our repositories. This has significantly reduced the risk of security breaches and ensures compliance with security best practices, making our codebase much more secure. It saves us time by automating the process and provides peace of mind knowing that potential vulnerabilities are detected early.
Detecting secret keys as fast at scale
What do you like best about the product?
When i pushed the secret keys or there is an threat in code able to detecting and making noise in my mail box 😉
What do you dislike about the product?
As i think in it.
Nothing as of now.
Nothing as of now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If there an threat or vulnerable or secret keys in my code, able to detecting it smootly.
It has caught many secrets I accidentally leaked. And seems to be quite good in monitoring them.
What do you like best about the product?
That it works very fast and it notifies me adequately
What do you dislike about the product?
Could give a false sense of security if it does miss some kind of secret
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I think it's self explanatory
Helps with insidents
What do you like best about the product?
Automated scanning of my github repositories. It's quite easy to use and get started. No implementation struggle so it's easy to implement. I've not tried to contact the customer support but I like that it's available. It's easy to integrate as you just login to github to get started.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost seems to be quite high. I do understand it's for businesses but it helped me identify a secret key I had left in for my college project. I tend not to use it much as a college student but it's cost does not seem valid to me i.e., low frequency of use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it to indentify compromised secret keys although it has helped me, it could not detect a password for an email account.
life saver
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
there are no major downside to git guardian but If it was possible to remove something from git logs that will be really good
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
helping my pocket by letting me know when I forget my API key in the codebase and not hiding it
A tool that every developer needs
What do you like best about the product?
alerts about the code components that put my systems at risk of attacks
What do you dislike about the product?
Not sending emails when the issue is resolved
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I majorly work on edtech systems were code security is key, git gurdian helps us to spend less on paying specialists to identify threats
The best secrect scanning format I have ever used
What do you like best about the product?
By scanning throughout the development process, GitGuardian helps catch secret leaks early on, preventing them from reaching production. I use in all of my projects. Its very easy to implement and integrate with a help of a yaml file and some button clicks. Sometimes I even forget that I have gitguardian enabled, It always sves my day from a leaked secrect.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometime it scans secrect from the test file and mark it as leaked secrect which can be annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Accidental secrect reveal or accidental test credential revealed is being solved by GitGuardian
When there was a security error, It reported me
What do you like best about the product?
It protected my security einformation especialy mine was AWS key.
What do you dislike about the product?
If It shows me more detail way to protect the information it would be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My coworker uploaded the AWS key by mistake, Gitguardian reported me, so we could revise the code.
GitGuardian served for various SCM tools.
What do you like best about the product?
For us the use case case were pretty different from usual, it was quite difficult to implement but the documentation helped a lot during the process
What do you dislike about the product?
As it is based on GitHub, it can be imporved to suit other SCM tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its scanning the scripts on the host machines. Looking for the exposed secrets in Pre-commit, and source code.
