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.

Useful for cloud data protection, particularly for email and file-sharing systems
For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto. The solution should also expand integration from the public cloud to the private cloud and add Cloud DLP and CASB features.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We have scanned over 20,000 commits in the last month and found 256 secrets that would have made it to production."
"GitGuardian Platform has helped save significant time for the security team by eliminating the need to seek out development teams and work with them on exposed secrets, as much of this is now handled proactively."
"Overall, I like this tool; we have used it for a few years and I'm very impressed, and I'm happy with it as a tool and with the vendor as a company."
"The newest addition that we appreciate about GitGuardian Platform is the ability to create a custom detector, which we built and worked with the team, and that works very effectively."
"The majority of our incidents for critical detectors and important secret types are remediated automatically or proactively by developers through GitGuardian's notification system, without security team involvement."
"Our company has remained very safe in this regard because we need to secure our data effectively, being in the insurance reinsurance sector."
"GitGuardian Internal Monitoring has helped increase our secrets detection rate by several orders of magnitude."
"The most valuable feature of GitGuardian is that it finds tokens and passwords. That's why we need this tool. It minimizes the possibility of security violations that we cannot find on our own."
"Trend Micro has DLP features in it, which separates it from other solutions."
"Our business emails are very important and Trend Micro Cloud App Security has provided a high level of protection. Additionally, there are updating the solution frequently."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"This is a very dependable solution and we are able to have a lot of Trend Micro security products integrated between each other."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."
 

Cons

"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."
"There are some features that are lacking in GitGuardian."
"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."
"Right now, we are waiting for improvement in the RBAC support for GitGuardian."
"The documentation could be improved because when we started working with GitGuardian, it was difficult to find specific use cases."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in its integration for bug-tracking. It should be more direct. They have invested a lot in user management, but they need to invest in integrations. That is a real lack."
"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 pricing of this solution is quite high, about double what other similar solutions cost."
"The cost of the license is on the high side."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."
"For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto."
"It would be great if Trend Mail Cloud App Security would be joined with a web security solution, making it a multiple-network solution."
"The solution's technical support services could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for GitGuardian is fair."
"It's fairly priced, as it performs a lot of analysis and is a valuable tool."
"It's a little bit expensive."
"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."
"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."
"The internal side is cheap per user. It is annual pricing based on the number of users."
"It's a bit expensive, but it works well. You get what you pay for."
"The product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The price of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is expensive for regular users. There are not any hidden fees. First-time users of the solution should purchase implementation packages or professional services."
"The pricing of the solution could be better."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
