Executive SummaryUpdated on Feb 8, 2026

GitGuardian Platform and Safetica ONE compete in the cybersecurity and data protection market. GitGuardian seems to have the upper hand in secrets detection thanks to its robust detection capabilities and impressive accuracy rates as highlighted by users.

Features: GitGuardian Platform stands out with its secrets detection capabilities, including features like "Dev in the loop" for immediate feedback to developers, robust internal monitoring, and efficient automated alerts and reporting tools. Safetica ONE excels in data protection with a strong emphasis on compliance and enterprise-level security solutions, offering features such as data leak prevention and easy-to-set-up rules and policies.

Room for Improvement: GitGuardian could enhance user customization, integration, and reporting capabilities, as well as refine Azure DevOps support and historical scanning efficiency. Safetica ONE would benefit from improved stability, expanded feature support, and more prompt technical support, along with better firewall integration.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: GitGuardian is praised for its straightforward deployment across on-premises and cloud environments, with highly regarded responsive and proactive support. Safetica ONE also supports diverse deployment options; however, its technical support is slower comparatively.

Pricing and ROI: GitGuardian's pricing is on the competitive but higher side particularly impacting larger teams, with an ROI justified by its ability to prevent costly breaches. Safetica ONE offers cost-effective pricing suitable for smaller quantities and device-based licensing but can seem expensive relative to feature offerings from top competitors.

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

"When they give you a description of what happened, it's really easy to follow and to retest. And the ability to retest is something that you don't have in other solutions. If a secret was detected, you can retest if it is still there. It will show you if it is in the history."

"The most valuable feature of GitGuardian is that it finds tokens and passwords. That's why we need this tool. It minimizes the possibility of security violations that we cannot find on our own."

"The breadth of the solution detection capabilities is pretty good. They have good categories and a lot of different types of secrets... it gives us a great range when it comes to types of secrets, and that's good for us."

"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."

"The entire GitGuardian solution is valuable. The product is doing its job and showing us many things. We get many false positives, but the ability to automatically display potential leaks when developers commit is valuable. The dashboards show you recent and historical commits, and we have a full scan that shows historical leaked secrets."

"It enables us to identify leaks that happened in the past and remediate current leaks as they happen in near real-time. When I say "near real-time," I mean within minutes. These are industry-leading remediation timelines for credential leaks. Previously, it might have taken companies years to get credentials detected or remediated. We can do it in minutes."

"It's also worth mentioning that GitGuardian is unique because they have a free tier that we've been using for the first twelve months. It provides full functionality for smaller teams. We're a smaller company and have never changed in size, but we got to the point where we felt the service brought us value, and we want to pay for it. We also wanted an SLA for technical support and whatnot, so we switched to a paid plan. Without that, they had a super-generous, free tier, and I was immensely impressed with it."

"I like that GitGuardian automatically notifies the developer who committed the change. The security team doesn't need to act as the intermediary and tell the developer there is an alert. The alert goes directly to the developer."

More GitGuardian Platform pros

"ESET Safetica is a cost-effective solution for customers who need a small quantity along with a competitive price."

"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of Safetica ONE is simple."

"Safetica ONE is easy to use and set up. We can set up rules and policies quickly."

"The most valuable feature is the data classification."

"The most valuable things about Safetica ONE are its comprehensive features, competitive pricing, and a strong focus on data security and compliance."

"When you subscribe to the DLP, the system manages and protects your files well from the cloud."

"The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection."

"The current version of the solution is stable...It is easy to scale the solution."

Cons

"The analytics in GitGuardian Platform have a significant opportunity to better reflect the value provided to security teams and demonstrate actual activity occurring."

"There has been a little bit of downtime of late, and it has been reasonably impactful when it's not been scanning."

"The analytics in GitGuardian Platform have a significant opportunity to better reflect the value provided to security teams and demonstrate actual activity occurring."

"They could give a developer access to a dashboard for their team's repositories that just shows their repository secrets. I think more could be exposed to developers."

"There is room for improvement in its integration for bug-tracking. It should be more direct. They have invested a lot in user management, but they need to invest in integrations. That is a real lack."

"I would like to see improvement in some of the user interface features... When one secret is leaked in multiple files or multiple repositories, it will appear on the dashboard. But when you click on that secret, all the occurrences will appear on the page. It would be better to have one secret per occurrence, directly, so that we don't have to click to get to the list of all the occurrences."

"The main thing for me is the customization for some of the healthcare-specific identifiers that we want to validate. There should be some ability, which is coming in the near future, to have custom identifiers. Being in healthcare, we have pretty specific patterns that we need to match for PHI or PII. Having that would add a little bit extra to it."

"It took us a while to get new patterns introduced into the pattern reporting process."

More GitGuardian Platform cons

"Safetica ONE fails to support Linux."

"ESET Safetica’s stability could be improved."

"Safetica One has every other thing that you need, so I cannot give Safetica NXT a higher mark because it does not have the full features of the enterprise solutions."

"One area for improvement in Safetica is its firewall integration feature."

"The product needs to improve support."

"This solution could be improved if it was available on Linux as well. Currently it can only be deployed on Mac and Windows."

"The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection."

"There are some minor issues with the price and support of the solution that needs to be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a bit expensive, but it works well. You get what you pay for."

"I am only aware of the base price. I do not know what happened with our purchasing team in discussions with GitGuardian. I was not privy to the overall contract, but in terms of the base MSRP price, I found it reasonable."

"It's a little bit expensive."

"The internal side is cheap per user. It is annual pricing based on the number of users."

"You get what you pay for. It's one of the more expensive solutions, but it is very good, and the low false positive rate is a really appealing factor."

"The pricing for GitGuardian is fair."

"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 could be cheaper. When GitHub secrets monitoring solution goes to general access and general availability, GitGuardian might be in a little bit of trouble from the competition, and maybe then they might lower their prices. The GitGuardian solution is great. I'm just concerned that they're not GitHub."

More GitGuardian Platform pricing and cost advice

"Safetica ONE is expensive."

"The licensing cost for this solution depends on the deal size and your use case. In our instance, it costs $35 per user per year. This is a reasonable price."

"Customers need to pay for a yearly license per device."

"The pricing for ESET Safetica is less as compared to other solutions. The customers have to pay only for the license."
