"Intuitive and Effective Security"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Aikido Security?

I really like that Aikido Security offers clean and intuitive UX, which helps me quickly find the information I need. This efficiency is crucial for our small team where we juggle multiple tasks, allowing us to spend more time on remediation rather than navigating a convoluted system. It provides a single point of visibility for vulnerabilities across our code and infrastructure, filters out false positives, and suggests remediations. The initial setup was super easy, which I appreciate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

The price point for a team of our size is just a little on the steep side. We're currently on the free plan, which works well for us. I believe we would get additional value from the basic tier. However, we can't justify the price at the moment as we're trying to operate as a very lean team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Beautiful UI and Powerful Filters for Deep Vulnerability Insights"
5/5
What do you like best about Aikido Security?

The UI is really nice and the layout of the feed with plenty of nice filters to deep dive into certain categories of vulnerabilities It is the free plan for my organisation so well worth what it gives in comparison to free tiers elsewhere It is the free plan for my organisation so well worth what it gives in comparison to free tiers elsewhere Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

Having to wait a few days for the next scan to run but this is on the free plan Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Security with Actionable Reports—Perfect for Startups"
5/5
What do you like best about Aikido Security?

Aikido is an amazing tool for any startup looking to strengthen their security without breaking the bank. The free scans are a huge plus, especially for small teams trying to save costs. It’s super easy to integrate and provides immediate value — quickly identifying security issues in my code and containers. The reports are clear, actionable, and even include proposed fixes, making it easy to understand and resolve issues fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

Honestly, there's very little downside so far — everything has worked smoothly and delivered great value. The only thing I'd flag is pricing for smaller users: paid plans start at 10 users, which is too expensive for a small startup or personal project. A 1-user paid plan would be a great addition.

"Comprehensive Security Excellence and Rapid Threat Detection"
5/5
What do you like best about Aikido Security?

I think the interface is quite simple to handle and quite complete. It allows you to monitor many different things in a centralized and very comfortable way. It connects to the cloud in a very reliable way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

I think the scanning functions with AI could be explained a little better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Security with Top-Notch Vulnerability Scanning"
5/5
What do you like best about Aikido Security?

I really like Aikido Security for its simplicity and very nice user interface; it's super clean, making it easy to figure out what's going on. The vulnerability scanning is a huge time saver, especially because I get notified of critical issues as they happen. It's also helpful to have our code reviewed in each pull request to catch any security issues we might introduce. Additionally, the scanning of our containers and cloud environments is extremely useful. The initial setup was an absolute doddle and super easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

Honestly very little, but one thing in particular would be the pricing for start-ups. A lot of the pro features we would find very useful, but it can be expensive when starting up and wanting to remain secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Security Testing with Comprehensive Coverage"
4/5
What do you like best about Aikido Security?

I find Aikido Security's automated security testing suite to be quite extensive and a real value for the price, especially compared to others. It covers everything needed for DevSecOps, including SAST, SCA, DAST, Container Scanning, and VM scanning, all running automatically with little configuration hassle. The ease of integration with code repositories and hosting providers is a major plus, plus setting up was simpler compared to other vendors. The process is straightforward: integrate your repositories and servers, and it works with minimal setup. I also appreciate how similar issues are grouped together in the findings, which simplifies management. The automatic picking up of changes by developers speeds up our ability to fix issues, reducing security risks effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

The Aikido Agent uses quite a lot of RAM, meaning we need to keep that in mind for our production servers. There were a few instances where support was not super helpful, but also other times they were fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive security coverage at a package price – with a solid UI and strong integrations"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Aikido Security?

Very broad coverage of many different aspects of secure software development that covers most needs of a scale-up - where we would have previously needed to buy tools from 4–5 vendors, we can now just use Aikido at a way lower price for the package. The individual tools and solutions don't go into as much depth as a dedicated solution would, but at our stage, that would be overkill in most cases anyway.

It integrates with most of the tools we use, only major thing missing is Google chat for notifications, but the important platform integrations are covered. The UI is solid and guides you through onboarding and setup of most features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

Due to the breadth of features, it can be easy to lose track of what you already have set up and what you don't, and whether you need to upgrade to the next tier or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple integration with GitHub and security findings from day one"
5/5
What do you like best about Aikido Security?

It was very easy to start using it, integrating it with my GitHub repositories. The use of GitHub and the integration of security tools is something completely new to me, yet it was very easy and I immediately began to see security findings and was able to correct them. The interface is intuitive and the documentation quite clear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

At the moment, I haven't found anything I don't like; probably something will come up as my usage becomes more demanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple, Powerful, and Easy to Adopt"
5/5
What do you like best about Aikido Security?

What I value most about Aikido Security is how easy it is to set up and use on a daily basis. The initial configuration was quick, the interface is clear, and running scans is straightforward. It has helped our team centralize vulnerability detection, better understand which issues require attention, and reduce the time spent reviewing multiple tools separately. It also makes it easier to integrate security into the development workflow without adding significant operational overhead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

So far, I have not encountered anything I dislike in the features we have used. Even the free tier is quite generous and provides substantial value. The main limitations are having to wait three days between scans and the maximum of ten repositories, but these restrictions are understandable for a free plan and have not affected my overall positive experience.

"User-Friendly Scanning with Easy Setup and Responsive Support"
4/5
What do you like best about Aikido Security?

There’s a function that scans your codebase for potential bugs and security vulnerabilities.

In terms of UI/UX, it’s user-friendly because it gives clear direction on where to go on the website.

For integration, it’s easy to configure.

For performance, there’s room for improvement, since some of the reported bug/security issues are related only to documentation.

For pricing, it could be lowered if you configure it properly.

For support, it was great—they were responsive to our concerns, especially the marketing team when we had questions during the trial period of the product.

For AI intelligence, it was good based on their proposed functionality, but it still needs a bit of adjustment because it consumes tokens on every scan. You need to be careful about which project/repository you assign for the aikido scanning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

Some of the scanning is only related with the documentation so it consumes token instead of just not flagging it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Mario Popescu of Aikido Security

Thanks for the detailed review! Really glad we're catching real issues, and that the UI made it easy to know where to go. That's exactly what we're looking for!

On the documentation tokens issue, feel free to reach out via in-app chat to share more detail, always good to hear the specifics.

Really glad support came through for you during the trial, especially for the marketing team's questions.
