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 is very easy to implement, in less then 10 minutes we had our first report.

The reports are very to the point while mentioning all the necessary information so our devs can easily plan and update the system.

We contacted support for one minor issue and got a reply in less then 4hours.

Today we use Aikido at least once a week to check if there are any new improvements to be made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

Price is higher then I would like it to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aikido Security?

Our organization implemented Aikido as our main Application Security app to take care of SCA, SAST, Container/Secret Scanning within our code base. Overall, we are very happy with Aikido's performance and ease of use. The deployment was quick and easy thanks to the Bitbucket Cloud integration.

I think the game changing features of Aikido is the auto-ignore capability and the reachability analysis. It helps our development team save time triaging false positives as well as prioritising issues that need to be addressed quickly.

The support we have received from the Aikido team has been top notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

While Aikido has proven to be a valuable tool for us, there are some features that are missing or could be improved. Since we are a small security team, we rely a lot on automation via REST API. For example, the REST API is missing some functionalities where it is not possible at the moment to ignore/snooze/adjust severity of an issue.

The output from the REST/CI API when retrieving details about an issue could have more information (line of code vulnerable, description of the issue, teams responsible, etc...).

However, despite those minor functionalities missing, the team at Aikido has been amazing at implementing new features in record time when we have identified gaps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Aikido is helping us with our application security program by assisting our developers found vulnerabilities in our code base and remediate them. The true power of Aikido lies in its ability to auto ignore false positives and therefore save us time to focus on the real issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michiel Denis of Aikido Security

Hey Yohann – I appreciate your feedback on Aikido! Glad to hear we've been able to support you and the team well in your AppSec journey.

What do you like best about Aikido Security?

We were looking for a cheaper alternative to Snyk and Aikido fills that role fantastically. Good software, easy UI and most important of all very easy to talk to with feedback.

Everything was really simple to set-up and onboarding of team members a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

Would like better integrations with Atlassian Platform (for Teams) and Atlassian Compass (for developer metrics and scorecards) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Giving confidence in the security of our applications. A way of advertising to customers that security is taken seriously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aikido Security?

Aikido integrates various open source security tools like Trivy and zaproxy in one simple to use dashboard where false positives and duplicates are removed. The team responds quickly on inquiries and explains clearly why certain findings are not shown. We are very happy that we do not have to integrate all these tools ourselves, that security experts do that work for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

The UI is sometimes a bit wobbly (if you click a checkbox sometimes the page jumps and some UX flows could improve), but I expect this to improve once Aikido becomes more established. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Adhering to the security standards of ISO-27001. Knowing where vulnerabilities are and how we can fix them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aikido Security?

Compared to well known competitors like Snyk, Aikido is much more affordable, more complete and most importantly much better at presenting the vulnerabilities that are actually reaching your systems.

What do you like best about Aikido Security?

Aikido does a great job filtering out the noise you get by the standard scanners out there.

They bundle a bunch of scanning techniques into their offering makes it quite effortless to check the security of our entire stack.

They are very responsive and client oriented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

Setting up from scratch would be easier of bulk actions were support in the UI.

It would also be great to set it up from code instead of clicking about in the interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It centralizes all findings which gives a good general overview of our security posture.

It also makes suggestions and auto-ignores irrelevant findings, making it more efficient than the other tools out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Each repository needs to have a workspace and users. The workspace should not be tied to the repository. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
