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

"GitGuardian has pretty broad detection capabilities. It covers all of the types of secrets that we've been interested in... [Yet] The "detector" concept, which identifies particular categories or types of secrets, allows an organization to tweak and tailor the configuration for things that are specific to its environment. This is highly useful if you're particularly worried about a certain type of secret and it can help focus attention, as part of early remediation efforts."
"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."
"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."
"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. This results in issues being resolved within minutes, saving significant effort from the security team in tracking down or communicating with developers."
"GitGuardian has increased our detection rate by a factor of 10 at least."
"GitGuardian is a really good, well-crafted, and polished tool."
"The most valuable feature is the general incident reporting system."
"Before we had GitGuardian we were blind; we had a lot of false positives with other products, but now GitGuardian has fewer false positives, its secrets detection is more accurate, and it has decreased our false positives by a minimum of 20 percent."
"ThreatBook Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) has positively impacted our organization by helping us generate the strategic threat focus reports and aiding us in decision-making, leading to improved cybersecurity operation efficiency."
"ThreatBook saves us over 80% of time for each incident, reducing the usual time taken from one or two days for attribution to just one or two hours, thanks to their AI techniques."
"ThreatBook saves us over 80% of the time for each incident."
"We have not suffered from any attack for the past few months, which has relatively improved our network security."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"I would like to see improvement in some of the user interface features."
"There has been a little bit of downtime of late, and it has been reasonably impactful when it's not been scanning."
"Although detection coverage is strong, there were initial cases where non-sensitive patterns were flagged, requiring tuning and allow-listing, which can be noisy at times."
"Other solutions have a live chat feature that provides instant results. Waiting for an agent to reply to an email is less ideal than an instant conversation with a support employee. That's a complaint so minor I almost hesitate to mention it."
"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."
"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."
"We’ve seen strong ROI through reduced incident response times, increased threat visibility, and less time wasted on false positives."
"It would be great if ThreatBook could integrate with our ITSM system to streamline the tasks and incident management"
"I hope that ThreatBook can integrate a feature where if I detect any internal compromised hosts, I can block or isolate those compromised hosts within my internal network; that would be good."
"ThreatBook Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) could be improved by providing more integrations to support additional platforms."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not cheap, but it's not crazy expensive either."
"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."
"It's fairly priced, as it performs a lot of analysis and is a valuable tool."
"The pricing for GitGuardian is fair."
"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."
"With GitGuardian, we didn't need any middlemen."
"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."
