Amandeep Pawar - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Engineer at Airy Software Technologies Private Limited
Centralized risk-based workflows have reduced alert fatigue and improve on-time secure delivery
ArmorCode is a strong ASPM platform that provides centralized visibility and risk-based prioritization, and there are several areas where it could be enhanced to improve the user experience and increase adoption across development teams. Improvements could include more AI-powered remediation guidance, improved developer experience, enhanced predictive risk analysis, strong cloud-native visibility such as Kubernetes, custom reporting, and dashboards including custom risk scorecards, team-specific dashboards, and faster onboarding and setup of new security tools. Improvements could also include pre-built integration, automation, automated connector setup, guided onboarding, and better risk connection that assesses criticality, business impact, data sensitivity, and internet exposure. The most important improvements needed are strong cloud-native visibility, enhanced predictive risk analysis, adding AI-powered remediation guidance, and an improved developer experience. Predictive risk analysis is one area that needs enhancement. While ArmorCode is already excellent at centralizing security findings and prioritizing risk, these improvements could further reduce remediation time and make the platform even more valuable for both security and development teams. Enhancing AI-powered remediation guidance would improve developer experience. For AI-powered remediation guidance, instead of only identifying vulnerabilities, ArmorCode could provide detailed fix recommendations, secure code examples, root cause analysis, and automated remediation suggestions.

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

"The positive impact of ArmorCode on our organization includes improved vulnerability prioritization and better collaboration between security and development teams, as instead of discussing thousands of findings, we focus on critical risks, significantly reducing unnecessary effort and allowing the team to quickly identify high-risk vulnerabilities and assign remediation to application owners."
"ArmorCode is very effective software that reduces human effort and saves time, has a huge impact on the company's revenue and profit, and we deliver everything on time to the client because of ArmorCode."
"GitGuardian Platform positively impacts the organization by strengthening the DevSecOps process, reducing the risk of credential exposure, and increasing developer awareness around secure coding practices."
"It actually creates an incident ticket for us. We can now go end-to-end after a secret has been identified, to track down who owns the repository and who is responsible for cleaning it up."
"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, as it is saving us about $35,000 a year, so I would say the ROI is about $20,000 a year."
"Our company has remained very safe in this regard because we need to secure our data effectively, being in the insurance reinsurance sector."
"The most valuable feature is the alerts when secrets are leaked and we can look at particular repositories to see if there are any outstanding problems. In addition, the solution's detection capabilities seem very broad. We have no concerns there."
"GitGuardian has increased our detection rate by a factor of 10 at least."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to automate both downloading the repository and generating a Software Bill of Materials directly from it."
 

Cons

"Improvements could include more AI-powered remediation guidance, improved developer experience, enhanced predictive risk analysis, strong cloud-native visibility such as Kubernetes, custom reporting, and dashboards including custom risk scorecards, team-specific dashboards, and faster onboarding and setup of new security tools."
"I would like to see more AI-driven remediation recommendations, deeper contextual risk analysis, and additional workflow automation for the enterprise environment."
"GitGuardian Platform can be improved with better integration with enterprise ticketing platforms, enhancing the dashboard for executive reporting, and providing more automation for remediation."
"GitGuardian could have more detailed information on what software engineers can do. It only provides some highly generic feedback when a secret is detected. They should have outside documentation. We send this to our software engineers, who are still doing the commits. It's the wrong way to work, but they are accustomed to doing it this way. When they go into that ticket, they see a few instructions that might be confusing. If I see a leaked secret committed two years ago, it's not enough to undo that commit. I need to go in there, change all my code to utilize GitHub secrets, and go on AWS to validate my key."
"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."
"One improvement that I'd like to see is a cleaner for Splunk logs."
"Right now, we are waiting for improvement in the RBAC support for GitGuardian."
"It would be nice if they supported detecting PII or had some kind of data loss prevention feature."
"GitGuardian Platform has the occasional false positive in testing."
"GitGuardian Platform does what it is designed to do, but it still generates many false positives."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's a bit expensive, but it works well. You get what you pay for."
"It's not cheap, but it's not crazy expensive either."
"The pricing is reasonable. GitGuardian is one of the most recent security tools we've adopted. When it came time to renew it, there was no doubt about it. It is licensed per developer, so it scales nicely with the number of repos that we have. We can create new repositories and break up work. It isn't scaling based on the amount of data it's consuming."
"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's a little bit expensive."
"The pricing and licensing are fair. It isn't very expensive and it's good value."
"GitGuardian is on the pricier side."
"We don't have a huge number of users, but its yearly rate was quite reasonable when compared to other per-seat solutions that we looked at... Having a free plan for a small number of users was really great. If you're a small team, I don't see why you wouldn't want to get started with it."
