Software that monitors my code for security purposes!! What more as a developer would i need than some software which can alert me in case of any security issues with my code!
First of all a really great UI. Very simple and beautiful dashboard.The emails which keep me notified in case of any confidential credentials i may leak in my codes keep my codes and software safe and also help me realize where the leak is.
I haven't really found any negative sides while using GitGuardian, it has really been a useful software and can't complain about it.

GitGuardian is now actively included in our core CI/CD pipeline. Setup was very easy and, and the time I need now to admin it is close to zero. After the initial adoption, "avoiding secrets in first instance" is now part of our standard practice. I would say GitGuardian is now our insurance that secrets are not disclosed inadvertently.
Easy to install. I mean, very easy! I have followed the "Quick-Start" guide, it took me about 30 mins. and when I read "Start Remediating" I thought it was the time to figure out how to adapt to our own environment and I have spent a couple of hours to set-up a manual/parallel integration that was totally unnecessary. I like the remediation flow: no emails back and forth, it simplifies the communication and the resolution of incidents across users. I can easily narrow the scope to what is critical to us, this has reduced the remediation effort to specific and relevant incidents. Automatic notifications: as an admin, I do not need to investigate every and each incident. GitHub Integration: secrets within code are automaticall detected and merge is blocked.
So many ways to integrate, it might be a plus for others, it was confusing to me. in my case I was not clear if I needed a "VCS/GitHub" or "CI/CD GitHub Actions" integration. Pricing plan for small business is not fully clear and requires to "contact sales".

-Easy to set up-The remediation workflow helps to quickly resolve findings and makes it easy to include developers in the process
- there really aren't any dislikes- Some of the more advanced features are only available with the Business and Enterprise plan

Very easy to setup, simply a few clicks and you're done. Quickly alerts in near real time.
No support for integrating with ADO, which is frustrating because we've had to purchase another tool for this.
Hi Chris, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience using GitGuardian. I am happy to learn our product is helping you keep your GitHub repositories secrets free. I also hear you and understand you had a difficult time using GitGuardian with Azure DevOps. While we don't offer a native integration for Azure Repos, the cloud-hosted solution for private Git repos, we do offer a native...

The best feature of GitGuardian is its ability to find secrets based not on regex patterns, but on string entropy -- that allows you to locate things like database passwords that don't follow a particular pattern. GHAS (GitHub's native security toolkit) doesn't allow that.
I can't think of anything major. Billing model took me some time to understand.
