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.

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?

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 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 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?

There is nothing I dislike about Aikido, it's simple and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 do you like best about Aikido Security?

We’ve been using Aikido Security for several months now, and I can confidently say that it has transformed how we manage and mitigate security risks within our organization. From day one, the onboarding process was seamless, and the platform’s intuitive interface made it incredibly easy to integrate with our existing infrastructure.

What truly sets Aikido apart is its proactive approach to comprehensive coverage. The real-time alerts give us a clear advantage, helping us stay ahead of potential security issues. Their support team is also top-notch. Whenever we had a question or needed assistance, their response was swift and thorough.

If you’re looking for a comprehensive, reliable, and forward-thinking security solution, I highly recommend Aikido Security. It’s a game changer for any organization serious about their security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

One minor frustration is with the platform’s user interface. While it’s generally user-friendly, some of the more advanced features are buried deep within the interface, making them harder to access without a bit of digging. This could be streamlined to save time for users who need to manage multiple tasks quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michiel Denis of Aikido Security

Hi there – Thanks a lot for taking the time to leave us these kind words! When it comes to any feedback you have about our UI, do you mind telling us (per email or over direct chat) which of the advanced features you're referring to? We're happy to take a look and see if we can improve the experience for everyone!

What do you like best about Aikido Security?

Aikido is a highly scalable and easy to use solution, which aggregates multiple controls in one place and integrates seamlessly with IDEs and CI/CD pipelines. The support team is responsive and made quick adjustments in our environment. Additionally, it efficiently filters out obvious false positive alerts, which saved us many MD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

The only disadvantage I see is that SSO is available only in the Pro plan. As a security solution which well understands the benefits of SSO, it's a pity that it's not available to all (paid) plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michiel Denis of Aikido Security

Hi there – Love reading you enjoy our IDE and CI/CD integrations and considering us your swiss army knife! On the SSO integration, do you mind sending us a chat/email? Let's see if we can enable this for you.
