Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
7.5
CloudBees licensing offers robust ROI with security, support, and automation, enhancing efficiency and trust in production environments.
Sentiment score
7.2
GitGuardian Platform saves time and costs by automating security, boosting productivity, and integrating with existing workflows efficiently.
I can certainly say that we have saved significant time and resources in terms of people and automation.
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.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.9
CloudBees support gets mixed reviews, often praised for responsiveness but criticized for frequent issues and plugin upgrade suggestions.
Sentiment score
7.6
GitGuardian Platform's support is highly praised for responsiveness, effectiveness, and friendly service, complementing its intuitive design.
I would rate their technical support a nine out of ten.
I would rate the technical support as excellent.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.8
CloudBees efficiently supports scalable multi-environment operations, integrating with architectures like Kubernetes, despite notable resource consumption.
Sentiment score
7.9
GitGuardian Platform is efficient, scalable, and adaptable, with quick deployment, flexible models, and responsive issue monitoring for companies.
In terms of scalability, I would rate it around a ten out of ten, as it handles all the repositories and commit activity we have.
I would rate it a ten out of ten for scalability.
Currently, what GitGuardian Platform is doing works effectively.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.6
CloudBees is generally stable but can encounter issues during upgrades, plugin compatibility, and in complex server environments.
Sentiment score
8.3
GitGuardian Platform is praised for reliability, efficiency, and ease of use, with high stability and minimal maintenance required.
We set up a lot of the repository, so GitGuardian is a required check.
The SaaS platform has experienced two significant moments of downtime or instability in the last six months, requiring notices and retrospectives.
I would rate the stability of the GitGuardian Platform as excellent with no downtimes.
 

Room For Improvement

Users seek CloudBees improvements in speed, integration, GUI, plugins, authentication, reliability, AI integration, and standardized templates.
GitGuardian users desire enhanced customization, integration, usability, automation, and comprehensive features including reporting, analytics, and mobile support.
Another thing that would be good to see is some more metrics on the usage of the GitGuardian pre-push hooks.
The self-healing activity by developers isn't reflected in the analytics, requiring us to collect this data ourselves.
We are looking for better metrics and audit data, wanting more features such as knowing which users are creating the most secrets or committing the most secrets, what repository, what directory, and who is not checking in secrets.
 

Setup Cost

Enterprises favor CloudBees for its core product and security features, accepting high costs due to substantial benefits.
GitGuardian Platform offers competitive pricing valued for cost-effectiveness and security, especially for small to medium-sized teams.
Overall, the secret detection sector is expensive, but we are happy with the value we get.
It's fairly priced, as it performs a lot of analysis and is a valuable tool.
 

Valuable Features

CloudBees enhances CI/CD efficiency with scalability, tool integration, advanced security, cloud support, and seamless Jenkins management.
GitGuardian Platform excels in detecting secrets with high accuracy, real-time alerts, and broad integration, minimizing false positives.
One of the best features of the solution is the ability to use pre-push hooks.
A high number of our exposures are remediated by developers before security needs to step in, as the self-healing playbook process engages them automatically.
GitGuardian Platform performs the capability to detect secrets in real time exceptionally, as it activates from the commit and can detect it immediately.

Featured Reviews

YashBrahmani - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers a clear visualization and overview of workflows and helpful in managing CI/CD processes
Improvement in the sense that they can do better in terms of management of logs and stuff like that because the console logs are very extensive, and that causes a lot of storage issues. That is one of the things which is there. Also, with respect to the traditional platform and the modern platform, many things have upgraded, and it has quite improved. But when we talk about the performance of the agents, it’s still very crucial because it’s not up to par. It takes a lot of time to provision the agent and to finish the build because of the SSH connection and the JNLP connection. Due to that, sometimes the agent doesn’t get provisioned. Those are some of the blockers that meet up the time in terms of administering the instance.
Ney Roman - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
