Centralized visibility has streamlined risk-based vulnerability management and collaboration
Features that I would like to see included for this application are more advanced customization options for dashboards and reporting, especially for different stakeholder groups, and additional out-of-box integrations. I would also recommend the incorporation of AI-assisted recommendations for vulnerability prioritization and remediation guidance, which would be more valuable. One area that I would see for improvement in ArmorCode is the need for out-of-box integrations that I have already mentioned. Another area would be greater customizations with the dashboards, as organizations need different views for security engineering and leadership. I would also like to see the usage of AI-enhanced remediation prioritization recommendations, as these are the main areas I would love to see in ArmorCode.

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

"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."
"ArmorCode has positively impacted our organization with many positive outcomes, particularly in reducing the amount of manual effort required to aggregate and analyze the findings from multiple tools without needing to have a centralized view, which has prioritized it more efficiently."
"GitGuardian is a really good, well-crafted, and polished tool."
"GitGuardian public leak detection significantly enhances our organization's data security by continuously monitoring public repositories."
"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."
"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."
"What I appreciate the most about GitGuardian Platform is its efficiency when triggering our pipeline and notifying us if secrets have been exposed, such as APIs, variables, our database, or anything being exposed."
"Before this solution, we didn't have anything for secret detection; we went from zero to having something, and thanks to the tool, we have decreased the risk, automated what we did manually, and definitely increased our security team productivity."
"Previously, secrets would be leaked and nobody would ever hear about it, but now we actually have alerts and the opportunity to follow up with researchers to deal with these problems, turning something that had the potential to take an hour out of someone's day into a quick, easy, minimal, and more effective process."
"Some of our teams have hundreds of repositories, so filtering by team saves a lot of time and effort."
 

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."
"Features that I would like to see included for this application are more advanced customization options for dashboards and reporting, especially for different stakeholder groups, and additional out-of-box integrations."
"For some repositories, there are a lot of incidents. For example, one repository says 255 occurrences, so I assume these are 255 alerts and nobody is doing anything about them."
"GitGuardian's hook and dashboard scanners are the two entities. They should work together as one. We've seen several discrepancies where the hook is not being flagged on the dashboard. I still think they need to do some fine-tuning around that. We don't want to waste time."
"I'm excited about the possibility of Public Postman scanning being integrated with GitGuardian in the future. Additionally, I'm interested in exploring the potential use of honeytokens, which seems like a compelling approach to lure and identify attackers."
"It would be nice if they supported detecting PII or had some kind of data loss prevention feature."
"We have encountered occasional difficulties with the Single Sign-On process."
"Automated Jira tickets would be fantastic. At the moment, I believe we have to go in and click to create a Jira ticket. It would be nice to automate."
"I would like to see more fine-grained access controls when tickets are assigned for incidents. I would like the ability to provide more controls to the team leads or the product managers so that they can drive what we, the AppSec team, are doing."
"For some repositories, there are a lot of incidents. For example, one repository says 255 occurrences, so I assume these are 255 alerts and nobody is doing anything about them. These could be false positives. However, I cannot assess it correctly, because I haven't been closing these false positives myself. From the dashboard, I can see that for some of the repositories, there have been a lot of closing of these occurrences, so I would assume there are a lot of false positives. A ballpark estimate would be 60% being false positives. One of the arguments from the developers against this tool is the number of false positives."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"GitGuardian is on the pricier side."
"The pricing and licensing are fair. It isn't very expensive and it's good value."
"It's a little bit expensive."
"With GitGuardian, we didn't need any middlemen."
"The pricing for GitGuardian is fair."
"I compared the solution to a couple of other solutions, and I think it is very competitively priced."
"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."
"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."
