It is quick and meets our needs.

GitGuardian Platform is stable and reliable, with consistent performance, effective support, and minor downtime issues efficiently managed.
Sentiment score
7.6
Skyhigh Security is praised for its stability, speed, and reliability, with quick resolutions to occasional minor issues.
We set up a lot of the repository, so GitGuardian is a required check.
We also run a self-hosted cluster which has not experienced these issues, though we've faced some challenges upgrading Kubernetes that required support assistance to prevent internal downtime.
 

Room For Improvement

GitGuardian Platform needs better customization, integration, automation, reporting, access controls, mobile app, and analytics for user satisfaction.
Skyhigh Security faces slow performance, poor UI, limited integrations, scalability concerns, and compatibility issues, needing better training and support.
Another thing that would be good to see is some more metrics on the usage of the GitGuardian pre-push hooks.
The analytics in GitGuardian Platform have a significant opportunity to better reflect the value provided to security teams and demonstrate actual activity occurring.
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.
The solution has room for improvement in its DDoS protection.
 

Setup Cost

Enterprise users find GitGuardian Platform offers good value with comprehensive security features, though some view it as slightly expensive.
Skyhigh Security pricing is high, especially for Salesforce API, but offers valuable features and includes support in fees.
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

GitGuardian Platform provides automatic secrets detection and integration tools for efficient incident management and agile collaboration across development environments.
Skyhigh Security excels in cloud risk detection, DLP integration, and scalability with strong security features and user-friendly interface.
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.
One of the best features of the solution is the ability to use pre-push hooks.
The cloud security features are the most valuable.

Featured Reviews

Joan Ging - PeerSpot reviewer
It dramatically improved our ability to detect secrets, saved us time, and reduced our mean time to remediation
While they do offer some basic reporting, more comprehensive reporting would be beneficial in the long run. This would allow me to demonstrate the value of the product over time to continue to effectively budget for this subscription, especially as they add features that may come at an additional cost. I appreciate the improvements made to reporting over the past year, but continued development in this area will be appreciated. We have encountered occasional difficulties with the Single Sign-On process. There is room for improvement in its current implementation. It works, but was not quite as smooth as the rest of the GitGuardian experience.
Santiago Gomez - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved the organization's PCI compliance with data loss prevention
I use the solution on a Macintosh computer and it has issues and does not work when I try to log in from the Safari Browser, but it works fine when I log in from the Google Chrome browser. The console has issues when the login is done through a Safari Browser. The console has to be more competitive and the compatibility of the browser needs to be better. I want to know about Skyhigh's competitiveness with other brands and about the vulnerability assessment and micro segmentations. I know Skyhigh has other products, but right now, I am studying what this new product is about. They only have English support, so I would like for them to add some Spanish support.
