Aikido Security Pros and Cons

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. They use many popular open source libraries to scan your code, as well as propriatary ones, giving you a good mix Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At this moment I have no things I dislike Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

It has everything from cloud scanning to repository scanning, licence management, container scanning, etc. 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.

The standout feature of Aikido Security for me is its ease of use. The platform's wide variety of compatibilities enables seamless integration into our technology stack with minimal effort, especially when compared to configuring multiple separate open-source solutions. I would also like to commend the exceptional support and guidance from their team. They truly understand our needs and we have seamlessly integrated their improvements into our agile workflow. Our weekly sprints have become more robust with their input, ensuring that our platform remains secure. Furthermore, Aikido encourages the adoption of security best practices, transforming it from merely a tool to a partner in our security strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My experience with Aikido Security has been predominantly positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how Aikido helps you rise your awareness about the state of your apps or websites. WIthout it, you rarely delve deep into the current state of your security, leaving you vurnerable at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think, it might make you paranaoid at times. I caught my myself watching the dashboard very often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
