Automated secret scanning has protected our repositories and now reduces costly key exposure
There are a few things that can be improved with GitGuardian Platform, but altogether it is a great platform. It could have a better UI. The user interface is very user-friendly and developer-friendly, but there are a few things here and there, which is true of almost every platform. It can be improved by allowing more customization for fine-tuning detection rules. Sometimes it also provides false positives, which are wrong, so that can be improved. An improved onboarding experience for new users would be great. I think the documentation is good. I have been using it, and it is great for that. The interface and integration are also very good, but there are a few enhancements needed related to onboarding. The documentation could be a little better. Tutorials could be provided, and guidance for new users would help them gain experience with it. Those things can be improved.
