Aikido Security Reviews & Product Details

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.

What do you like best about Aikido Security?

I love couple of things - first one is that it is really-really user friendly. For me interface is really user friendly, it was very quick to set up integration with our Azure codebase. I love summaries I am receiving from regular vurnerability scanning - it is easy to follow and understand what can be the most concerning thing there. Also for each vulnerability you're getting a lot of helpful information which really works as a remediation steps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

I am a user of the free plan and what I would appreciate is the ability to explore reporting functionality a bit more (on a free plan it is limited). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are now exploring the ability to get SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications, and this tool can be really helpful while preparing for the audit Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aikido Security?

Aikido offers a clean, intuitive interface and a refreshing approach to application security. Even with limited hands-on experience, it’s clear that the platform is designed with developer workflows in mind, reducing noise and focusing on actionable issues. The integration process is smooth, and I appreciate the emphasis on simplicity without compromising on core security features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

So far, I haven’t encountered major issues, but I haven’t had the chance to explore the full depth of the platform. Because of this, I can’t speak to how it performs at scale or under more complex scenarios. Some documentation could go deeper for advanced users or edge cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We need a reliable tool to check our application for critical vulnerabilities. Aikido makes this easier by surfacing the most relevant issues early, without overwhelming the team. It helps us stay on top of security risks in a way that feels manageable and developer-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Aikido is very easy to implement in cloud providers like Google Cloud. The whole implementation process was achieved in less than a couple of hours, including the development of the required Infrastructure as Code.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

The AI assistant (as expected) is not always helpful or accurate, however it provide good insights, but they must the followed with caution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aikido Security?

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?

Implementation is really easy, just plug and play the repo (Github in my case) and done. You can flag issues according to your needs, I didn't even have to contact customer support yet, so I can't give my opinion on that. I use the software from time to time, but it helps keeping track of what problems might my apps have. Because it's so easy to plug into my existing projects, it's both helpful and no- additional headache. It also allows for autofixes. And so much is available at the free plan, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

It might get a little chaotic if you have multiple projects, although I'm using it only for a few 'hobby' ones currently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's just an additional guard that is helping me making my software a little more secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aikido Security?

We’ve been using it for almost half a year now. It works exactly as we expected. We’ve needed support twice, and both times we received a quick and helpful response. Integration with our GitHub organization was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aikido Security?

The pricing is quite high for a startup, which is the main reason we’re using the free tier — and for now, it’s enough for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easier to manage everything security related 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?

We’ve been using Aikido Security for almost a year now, and it’s been instrumental in managing our vulnerabilities through its robust repository and container scanning capabilities. The setup process was incredibly easy, allowing us to get started in just a few minutes by leveraging easy connection with Gitlab.

Aikido’s integration with Slack has been particularly beneficial, providing us with timely alerts and weekly status reports directly in our Slack channels. This integration has streamlined our workflow, ensuring that we stay on top of security issues without unnecessary noise.

The support team has been exceptional, always responsive and helpful.

Overall, we very much recommend Aikido as the tool to manage software vulnerabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
