What do you like best about Aikido Security?

It's was super easy to connect our GitHub organization and cloud environment (AWS in our case).

After connecting, Aikido immediately starts to scan them and give you a list of potential issues/vulnerabilities to check. The checks are very broad: package vulnerabilities, committed secrets, security headers web server, vulnerable libraries in containers, ...

Before Aikido we used GitHub's security issues but in most cases the vulnerable packages are dev dependencies and thus not used in production. Aikido skips through that noise and provides us with actionable vulnerabilities.

I really like the Cloud scanning because it's easy to make mistakes with setting up infrastructure (also when doing maintenance or upgrades).

Being able to see the issues/vulnerabilities in one list (compared to GitHub) is also very useful.

As CTO, it's should be nobrainer to adopt a platform like Aikido. A data leak or hack might put you out of business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

Apart from the great Slack integration, I would love to be able to receive notifications via email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aikido Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

Scanning for vulnerabilities, cutting through noise of dev dependencies, scanning our cloud infrastructure, being able to see issues/vulnerabilties in one list across multiple repositories, ... to keep our product secure and save us time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Aikido Security Overview

What is Aikido Security?

Aikido is an application security (AppSec) platform specifically designed for developers who prioritize their coding tasks over managing security alerts. Our innovative solution consolidates nine essential security tools into a single, streamlined platform, effectively simplifying the security process. By eliminating unnecessary jargon and significantly reducing false positives, Aikido allows developers to maintain focus on their core responsibilities while ensuring their applications remain secure. Targeting a diverse audience that ranges from startups to large enterprises, Aikido caters to teams that require a comprehensive view of security issues spanning from code development to cloud deployment. The platform is particularly beneficial for organizations that may lack extensive security resources or expertise, as it empowers developers to take charge of their own security without getting bogged down by complex processes. This user-centric approach ensures that security becomes an integral part of the development workflow rather than a cumbersome afterthought. Key features of Aikido include its ability to provide real-time security insights, automated vulnerability detection, and streamlined reporting capabilities. By integrating these functionalities into a single platform, Aikido not only enhances the efficiency of security management but also fosters a culture of security awareness among development teams. The platform's freemium model and straightforward pricing structure further enhance its accessibility, allowing companies of all sizes to adopt robust security measures without incurring prohibitive costs. Aikido stands out in the AppSec category by prioritizing the developer experience and minimizing disruptions to the coding process. With over 6,000 teams utilizing the platform, Aikido has established itself as a trusted partner in the security landscape. By enabling developers to secure their work efficiently, Aikido ultimately supports the creation of high-quality software while ensuring that security remains a fundamental aspect of the development lifecycle. This commitment to empowering developers while maintaining strong security practices positions Aikido as a valuable asset for any organization looking to enhance its application security posture.

What do you like best about Aikido Security?

Aikido Security was super easy to set up, there is a lot of options and it has great and direct customer support! The project can be used easily and automatically, it even integrates with containers such as our docker images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

The variety of options is great but it can be overwhelming from time to time. Thankfully, Aikido offers great support that can help you get the most of this great product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aikido Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

This may sound funny, but as an educator, I develop labs that are supposed to be hacked. Keeping an overview of our exploits through the entire SDLC is more than a challenge, it's a monumental one!

Thanks to Aikido Security, we are now able to integrate an automated overview of our entire product catalogue. Additionally, Aikido Security helps us protect our sections of code which are not supposed to be vulnerable, like our discord bot which is written in python and our blog website which is written in PHP.

It's exceptionally easy to get started and get valuable insights right out of the gate. You can link your repositories and projects and set up scans.

And its not just vulnerability scanning, you can even get operational insights on how your version control system and infra is set up.

It's the kind of tool you grow into and grows with you.

A solid choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

I'm probably nitpicking but I would like to see how we can do the entire compliance process for different overseas markets incorporated (Africa) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aikido Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

Aikido helps by scanning for vulnerabilities in external packages and checking our operational posture as well for best practices Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aikido Security?

The platform focuses on doing one thing right, increasing the maturity of your company's security posture without having to spend a lot of effort in integration and triaging false positives. Its simple to integrate and simple to adopt for a small startup team that does not have a lot of bandwith but still wants to get better at InfoSec Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

It wasn't clear at the beginning which features were included in the free trial and which features were not. Its not super easy to "pick and match" which parts of the platform you want to adopt now vs which ones you want to leave for the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aikido Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

For 27001 certification we wanted to demonstrate that we are doing DAST and SAST continously as part of our software development process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aikido Security?

I really like the unintrusiveness of their service. It's a webapp where you register your code, container, IaC,... repositories and they scan them regularly pointing out the issues they found via statical analysis. There's integration to easily/automatically create follow up actions (tickets) aso. The app is great, you get up and running quite quickly.

Sometimes you need support, and that's great too (even if it's really technical). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

- Aikido Security also provides an estimate of how much work (fe "about 1h") it takes to fix a particular issue. I don't know where they got them, but they might as well don't do this as these estimates are completely unreliable.

- The automated triage (severity) follows CVE closely, which is rather detached from reality.

- The automatic ignore kicks in if there's no fix available. I'm not sure that's what you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aikido Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a company, you cannot just tell a customer: "Trust me, our code/setup/... is secure, we know what we're doing". It doesn't matter if it's actually secure or not; you need an external source that can corroborate your statement.

Aikido provides this service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michiel Denis of Aikido Security

Hey Romain – Thanks for taking the time to leave us a detailed review! Happy to elaborate on some of the concerns for you:

1. On Aikido providing estimates to fix issues:

The estimates Aikido provides are based on past and current experience in remediating these issues. Generally they should be highly accurate. Of course, there might be outliers here. Could you provide us with some examples of where the estimate was off?

2. On how automated triage (severity) following CVEs:

We modified the scoring by looking if the proof of concept exploitation code for this CVE is available on Github or if the issue is trending, for example. Further, we also allow you to configure your repos that will affect your scoring as well.

3. On the auto-ignoring kicking in:

The way the Aikido product works:

- Critical issues we ignore because 'package has no fix version available' is mainly for containers.

- Instead of listing hundreds of CVEs for container issues, we'll ignore these (just as the Debian team will do) and we'll focus on the 1 'EOL' issue to upgrade that affected container directly.

This is one of the examples of Aikido doing extreme compression for users. Of course, we're always happy to iterate based on customer feedback. Feel free to send us a DM and we'll pick this up!

What do you like best about Aikido Security?

Aikido was quick and easy to deploy and delivers clear, relevant alerts without adding complexity. It connects multiple security tools, making them seamless and more efficient to use.

It has all the necessary integrations, covers key security needs like SAST, container, and infrastructure scans and the auto-triage with intelligent silencing is a game changer. The UI is intuitive, support has been extremely responsive, and pricing is fair. I also appreciate their participation in the open-source community.

Overall, it helps us stay ahead of security issues with minimal effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

If I had to find something, it would be that the interface has many layers due to the amount of information available, and sometimes one can feel a bit lost navigating it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aikido Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps catch vulnerabilities early, reducing security risks before they reach production.

By acting as the glue between different security tools, it simplifies the workflow and ensures that findings are centralized. The auto-triage and intelligent silencing features reduce noise, allowing us to focus on what truly matters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aikido Security?

Aikido helps us automate both compliance and security. Without Aikido we'd be spending alot more time setting up tooling to have a similar experience.

It's great feeling in the team that Aikido is running in the back making sure we have no oversights in security measurements ranging from infrastructure to dependencies.

The team is very responsive on feedback and iterates very quickly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

What do you like best about Aikido Security?

It integrates with all of our used services and scans for security problems and best practicies flawlesly. Also the provided rescources on how to fix the issue are really helpful. We also integrated Aikido in our Slack so we get notified immediatly when new issues pop up.

Setting everything up was very easy and the provided guides are up to date. Support is super fast and was able to answer all my questions in a few minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

I honestly can not say anything negative about the service. You could discuss about the pricing but the functionality that is provided and the ease of use is totally worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aikido Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a startup you don't have the rescources and time to look at every aspect of security when building your software. Aikido helps us to identify sucurity issues before we would deploy them and consanty monitors for new threads that might arise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
