A bit of tinkering is needed to set it up so you don't get delivered false positives, but initial setup is expected, so not sure if it's even a downside. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Beautiful UI, Ease to use, very fast in finding secrets in code repositories, it took less than one minute to receive an email after some commits in a new branch I was working last week =) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not a dislike, but I have a sugestion: I haven't studied a lot about gitguardian yet, but I think that it could have an automatic correction tool for hiding the secrets it finds in our repositories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a rookie programmer, I frequently make silly git pushes revealing my API key. Sometimes, this small mistake can lead to loads of unwanted billing issues due to the revealed key, or it can get permanently deleted by the owner. GitGuardian comes in handy, as it always alerts me about these mistakes.Hence, I always use it, whenever I am working on any project.

Another thing about GitGuardian is that it is very easy to use. Just integrate it with GitHub and it does it starts doing its job. The customer support is great as well.

This is what I like best about GitGuardian! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some times the alert emails can be too frequent. For non-critical API reveals , the alert emails' frequency can be reduced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

Sometime it scans secrect from the test file and mark it as leaked secrect which can be annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitGuardian is a lifesaver for developers like me. Its automated secrets detection and quick remediation take away the worry of accidentally exposing sensitive information. The tool seamlessly integrates into my workflow, scanning both private and public source code effortlessly. I love how it keeps an eye on outdated or vulnerable packages, adding an extra layer of security to my projects. GitGuardian is simple, effective, and a must-have for stress-free coding Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are occasional false alarms for secret leaks in simple text, which can be a bit distracting. It would be beneficial to refine the detection logic. Additionally, while functional, the user interface could be more user-friendly. Streamlining the UI would make the overall experience more seamless Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using GitGuardian for my college Project. First and foremost UX is really good and intuitive. My project is around security so I am aware of the necessity of that and GitGuardian is an appropriate alternative to other open source products. I faced a problem initally and i found enough support to help me around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very quick response to issues on GitHub projects.

Detailed explanation of the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Soometimes I think, GitGuardian is not right.

E.g. some infomation is stored in .env files, like passwords or STMP access. This is often not wrong in my mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the biggest upsides is the automated detection of secrets in your code. GitGuardian goes beyond simple regex patterns and uses entropy analysis to find hidden credentials, API keys, and other sensitive information you might accidentally commit. This helps prevent accidental leaks that could have serious security consequences.

GitGuardian integrates seamlessly with GitHub and GitHub Actions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some users find GitGuardian's advanced features come with a steeper learning curve. Understanding the full range of detections and configurations might require additional training or exploration of the documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Therefore this is a good tool if we want to make sure, no body accidentally pushes sensitive data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
