Theo Cusnir - PeerSpot reviewer
Detects and alerts us about leaks quickly, and enables us to filter and prioritize occurrences
One thing I really like about it is the fact that we can add search words or specific payloads inside the tool, and GitGuardian will look into GitHub and alert us if any of these words is found in a repository. For example, if I put "Payfit" in the tool, I will be alerted every time someone is committing with that word in the code. It's really useful for internal domain names, to detect if someone is leaking internal code. With this capability in the tool, we have good surveillance over our potential blind spots. It can detect a leak in 10 minutes. We had an experience with one of our engineers who had leaked a secret, and 10 minutes afterward we had a warning from GitGuardian about the leak. It's very effective. We looked at the commit date and the current date with hours and minutes and we could see that the commit had been made 10 minutes ago. As a result, we are sure it is pretty fast. Another feature, one that helps prioritize remediation, is that you can filter the findings by criticality. That definitely helps us to prioritize which secrets we should rotate and delete.

Automation simplifies workflows with no code and excellent support
Reporting and dashboards could be more advanced for deeper analysis. Tines has its own dashboard, which displays information like how many stories have been created and how many automations have taken place. However, the reporting and dashboard are not advanced; they are quite basic, with fewer customizable options. The look and feel of the dashboard could be enhanced. Another area for improvement is in terms of documentation, as every tool and company has its own knowledge base.

Pros

"One thing I really like about it is the fact that we can add search words or specific payloads inside the tool, and GitGuardian will look into GitHub and alert us if any of these words is found in a repository... With this capability in the tool, we have good surveillance over our potential blind spots."
"The Explore function is valuable for finding specific things I'm looking for."
"The tool was vendor-neutral."
"One of the most valuable features is that it’s a low-code solution."
"The best thing is that it's no code, so it doesn't require coding knowledge."
"The best advantage is the no-code automation, excellent customer support services, and ease of integration with other tools."
 

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."
"Reporting and dashboards could be more advanced for deeper analysis."
"They started implementing some AI, and their AI is isolated."
"Maybe Tines can add more features and demonstrations, like videos on how to use the features within the tool."
"Tines was a little bit more expensive than Torq."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a bit expensive, but it works well. You get what you pay for."
