Centralized visibility has streamlined risk-based vulnerability management and collaboration
Features that I would like to see included for this application are more advanced customization options for dashboards and reporting, especially for different stakeholder groups, and additional out-of-box integrations. I would also recommend the incorporation of AI-assisted recommendations for vulnerability prioritization and remediation guidance, which would be more valuable. One area that I would see for improvement in ArmorCode is the need for out-of-box integrations that I have already mentioned. Another area would be greater customizations with the dashboards, as organizations need different views for security engineering and leadership. I would also like to see the usage of AI-enhanced remediation prioritization recommendations, as these are the main areas I would love to see in ArmorCode.

Facilitates efficient secret management and improves development processes
Regarding the exceptions in GitGuardian Platform, we know that within the platform we have a way to accept a path or a directory from a repository, but it is not that visible at the very beginning. You have to figure out where to search for it, and once you have it, it is really good, but it is not that visible at the beginning. This should be made more exposed. The documentation could be better because it was not that comprehensively documented. When we started working with GitGuardian Platform, it was difficult to find some specific use cases, and we were not aware of that. It might have improved now, but at that time, it was not something we would recommend.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"ArmorCode is very effective software that reduces human effort and saves time, has a huge impact on the company's revenue and profit, and we deliver everything on time to the client because of ArmorCode."
"ArmorCode has positively impacted our organization with many positive outcomes, particularly in reducing the amount of manual effort required to aggregate and analyze the findings from multiple tools without needing to have a centralized view, which has prioritized it more efficiently."
"GitGuardian has many features that fit our use cases. We have our internal policies on secret exposure, and our code is hosted on GitLab, so we need to prevent secrets from reaching GitLab because our customers worry that GitLab is exposed. One of the great features is the pre-receive hook. It prevents commits from being pushed to the repository by activating the hook on the remotes, which stops the developers from pushing to the remote. The secrets don't reach GitLab, and it isn't exposed."
"You can also assign tasks to specific teams or people to complete, such as assigning something to the "blue team" or saying that this person needs to do this, and that person needs to do that. That is a great feature because you can actually manage your team internally in GitGuardian."
"Before we had GitGuardian we were blind; we had a lot of false positives with other products, but now GitGuardian has fewer false positives, its secrets detection is more accurate, and it has decreased our false positives by a minimum of 20 percent."
"One thing I really like about it is the fact that we can add search words or specific payloads inside the tool, and GitGuardian will look into GitHub and alert us if any of these words is found in a repository... With this capability in the tool, we have good surveillance over our potential blind spots."
"GitGuardian is a really good, well-crafted, and polished tool."
"GitGuardian has increased our detection rate by a factor of 10 at least."
"The majority of our incidents for critical detectors and important secret types are remediated automatically or proactively by developers through GitGuardian's notification system, without security team involvement."
"The stability of the GitGuardian Platform is excellent."
 

Cons

"Features that I would like to see included for this application are more advanced customization options for dashboards and reporting, especially for different stakeholder groups, and additional out-of-box integrations."
"Improvements could include more AI-powered remediation guidance, improved developer experience, enhanced predictive risk analysis, strong cloud-native visibility such as Kubernetes, custom reporting, and dashboards including custom risk scorecards, team-specific dashboards, and faster onboarding and setup of new security tools."
"It could be easier. They have a CLI tool that engineers can run on their laptops, but getting engineers to install the tool is a manual process. I would like to see them have it integrated into one of those developer tools, e.g., VS Code or JetBrains, so developers don't have to think about it."
"It would be nice if they supported detecting PII or had some kind of data loss prevention feature."
"I would like to see more fine-grained access controls when tickets are assigned for incidents. I would like the ability to provide more controls to the team leads or the product managers so that they can drive what we, the AppSec team, are doing."
"We have been somewhat confused by the dashboard at times."
"The documentation could be improved because when we started working with GitGuardian, it was difficult to find specific use cases."
"GitGuardian Platform could improve by providing a more user-friendly UI with tips or solutions."
"Other solutions have a live chat feature that provides instant results. Waiting for an agent to reply to an email is less ideal than an instant conversation with a support employee. That's a complaint so minor I almost hesitate to mention it."
"The analytics in GitGuardian Platform have a significant opportunity to better reflect the value provided to security teams and demonstrate actual activity occurring. While the self-healing capability and proactive developer actions are important features, the analytics do not provide information around this activity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We have seen a return on investment. The amount of time that we would have spent manually doing this definitely outpaces the cost of GitGuardian. It is saving us about $35,000 a year, so I would say the ROI is about $20,000 a year."
"It's fairly priced, as it performs a lot of analysis and is a valuable tool."
"The pricing is reasonable. GitGuardian is one of the most recent security tools we've adopted. When it came time to renew it, there was no doubt about it. It is licensed per developer, so it scales nicely with the number of repos that we have. We can create new repositories and break up work. It isn't scaling based on the amount of data it's consuming."
"The pricing and licensing are fair. It isn't very expensive and it's good value."
"It's a little bit expensive."
"I compared the solution to a couple of other solutions, and I think it is very competitively priced."
"With GitGuardian, we didn't need any middlemen."
"GitGuardian is on the pricier side."
