Author info | Rating | Review Summary |
---|---|---|
DevOps Engineer at Deuna App | 5.0 | I use the GitGuardian Platform for application security to detect secrets in real time, significantly enhancing data security. Although documentation visibility needs improvement, the platform saves time and resources, outperforming alternatives like GitHub Advanced Security and Cycode. |
Senior Manager, Product Security at DigitalOcean | 4.0 | We use GitGuardian Platform to prevent secret exposures effectively. Its self-healing playbook automatically engages developers, resolving issues swiftly. However, analytics could improve to better reflect these developer activities. The platform saves us significant time weekly compared to competitors. |
Head of Engineering Services at IRESS | 4.5 | We use GitGuardian with GitHub to detect code secrets, appreciating its detail, instant Slack notifications, and pre-push hooks. While its alerts and metrics need improvement, its detection surpasses alternatives like TruffleHog, providing reassurance about our code's security. |
Director, Corporate Security Operations at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees | 4.0 | I use GitGuardian Platform to monitor code repositories for secrets, appreciating its real-time detection and custom detectors. However, it generates false positives and lacks certain features. I haven't found alternatives integrating across multiple repositories as effectively. |
DevOps Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | I've used GitGuardian for securing our enterprise repositories, and it's improved our workflow with strong detection, seamless integration, and helpful audit tools. While we wish for custom detectors, overall it's stable, scalable, and easy to deploy. |
Senior DevOps Engineer | 3.0 | I've used GitGuardian Public Monitoring for nearly two years to detect exposed secrets in our GitHub repos; it's easy to deploy, works well, but could improve by adding code analysis and distinguishing real from mock credentials. |
Head of Development at Inhabit | 5.0 | We use GitGuardian for internal security monitoring, identifying and removing secrets from our repositories, and enhancing codebase security. Its valuable features, like team filtering and incident management, exceed competitors. However, improved reporting and smoother Single Sign-On are needed. |
Application Security Engineer at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | I use GitGuardian Public Monitoring to detect exposed code publicly. The Explore function is valuable, and I appreciate critical issue alerts via email. I'm interested in potential Postman scanning integration and honeytokens to enhance security measures. |
