GitGuardian Reviews & Product Details - Page 4

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.

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.

That it works very fast and it notifies me adequately Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Could give a false sense of security if it does miss some kind of secret Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
