Keep your codes and software safe with GitGuardian
Software that monitors my code for security purposes!! What more as a developer would i need than some software which can alert me in case of any security issues with my code!
PROSFirst of all a really great UI. Very simple and beautiful dashboard.The emails which keep me notified in case of any confidential credentials i may leak in my codes keep my codes and software safe and also help me realize where the leak is.
CONSI haven't really found any negative sides while using GitGuardian, it has really been a useful software and can't complain about it.

Fit to purpose to our needs / Very little I need to admin
GitGuardian is now actively included in our core CI/CD pipeline. Setup was very easy and, and the time I need now to admin it is close to zero. After the initial adoption, "avoiding secrets in first instance" is now part of our standard practice. I would say GitGuardian is now our insurance that secrets are not disclosed inadvertently.
PROSEasy to install. I mean, very easy! I have followed the "Quick-Start" guide, it took me about 30 mins. and when I read "Start Remediating" I thought it was the time to figure out how to adapt to our own environment and I have spent a couple of hours to set-up a manual/parallel integration that was totally unnecessary. I like the remediation flow: no emails back and forth, it simplifies the communication and the resolution of incidents across users. I can easily narrow the scope to what is critical to us, this has reduced the remediation effort to specific and relevant incidents. Automatic notifications: as an admin, I do not need to investigate every and each incident. GitHub Integration: secrets within code are automaticall detected and merge is blocked.
CONSSo many ways to integrate, it might be a plus for others, it was confusing to me. in my case I was not clear if I needed a "VCS/GitHub" or "CI/CD GitHub Actions" integration. Pricing plan for small business is not fully clear and requires to "contact sales".
Reason for choosing GitGuardian
Ability to perform historical and automatic scans. Cloud based: no need for on-premises infrastructure. Proper technical support.

Gitguardian prevented a major leak in my codebase
as i said, gitgauardian helped detect a leak in my codebase and emailed to notify me about it, else i would have found it pretty late.
PROSIt detected the leak pretty quick and gave me some steps which put me mentally at ease that my data was safe.
CONSI think they can make there UI a little more user friendly as it is sometimes a little hard to navigate what leaks it detected and where its telling me to fix it, especially while im panicking.

Easy to use for GitHub, not so easy for ADO.
Very easy to setup, simply a few clicks and you're done. Quickly alerts in near real time.
CONSNo support for integrating with ADO, which is frustrating because we've had to purchase another tool for this.
Vendor Response
Hi Chris, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience using GitGuardian. I am happy to learn our product is helping you keep your GitHub repositories secrets free. I also hear you and understand you had a difficult time using GitGuardian with Azure DevOps. While we don't offer a native integration for Azure Repos, the cloud-hosted solution for private Git repos, we do offer a native integration for Azure Pipelines to keep your CI pipelines secrets-free. I would like to offer you a dedicated 1:1 call to walk you through the setup, please drop me an email at ziad.ghalleb@gitguardian.com if you are interested. In addition, we can discuss your needs in terms of secrets scanning capabilities for Azure Repos and see how we can fit these in our 2022 roadmap. Thank you, Ziad

GitGuardian integrates in a snap!
We are using GitGuardian to prevent secrets from leaking into repositories both public and private. So far our experience has been excellent. We actually leaked a private SSH key and got a notification from GitGuardian almost immediately. We were able to revoke the key and remediate the blunder.
PROSIntegration was a snap. We're already using pre-commit for most of our repos so hooking GitGuardian into the process was simple. Since we also already use GitHub, we found integration to be extremely easy.
CONSWe had no issues integrating GitGuardian and have not found any cons, yet.
Vendor Response
Thank you for sharing your experience Torgny! It's great to see teams lay great store by Shift Left and use GitGuardian at the pre-commit level.

Great product
The best feature of GitGuardian is its ability to find secrets based not on regex patterns, but on string entropy -- that allows you to locate things like database passwords that don't follow a particular pattern. GHAS (GitHub's native security toolkit) doesn't allow that.
CONSI can't think of anything major. Billing model took me some time to understand.

First impression of working with GitGuardian
My overall experience with GitGuardian has been very positive. I've used their platform to scan my repositories for secrets and vulnerabilities, personally, I had no problem setting it up the first time. GitGuardian has helped me improve my security practices and protect my code from unauthorized access.
PROSI enjoyed using GitGuardian. It helped me protect my code from leaking sensitive data and secrets. This product is perfect for small businesses with up to 25 people and for individual use. The features that I found most helpful were the automatic scanning of commits and the alerts for potential breaches. The product was very easy to use and integrated well with my GitHub account and workflow. I would recommend GitGuardian to anyone who wants to secure their code and prevent data leaks.
CONSAs for the missing features, I think more detailed management of which repositories and files are tracked would be helpful.

GitGuardian review
GitGuardian emerges as a highly effective tool when it comes to identifying potential password leaks within GitHub commits. Its proficiency in this regard has proven invaluable, as it has brought to my attention several errors in my commits that I might not have noticed otherwise. By doing so, GitGuardian has played a pivotal role in preventing potentially severe security breaches.
PROSPretty efficient in detecting possible password leaks on GitHub commits. If it wasn't for GitGuardian's notification, I would not have realized several mistakes I've commited, and it could have led to a severe security breachs.
CONSSo far I haven't faced any problems that would fit in "dislike" about GitGuardian.
