Best all in-one security tool if you want to avoid false positives.
What do you like best about the product?
Aikido security does its best to avoid false positives and cut the noise. It's pretty easy to setup and use. Variation of integrations with all popular version control systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Everything is fine. Nothing major to mention.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We chose Aikido for their code quality tool. For first their predefined rules set was pretty enough to start but later on we added custom rules for code reviews which helped us to put company specific coding/reviewing knowledge into code review process.

Effortless Setup and Clear Issue Tracking with Aikido
What do you like best about the product?
I liked Aikido's ease of use and ease of implementation. It made it very easy to get started with discovering gaps in your implementations. The way that Aikido does a good job outlining and presenting issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing structure is aggressive for smaller developers, but they have a great free offering. Sometimes the "daily" tests would not complete correctly for us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aikido reviews our applications and lists any vulnerabilities that it may have.
Unified Vulnerability Management Made Simple and Effective
What do you like best about the product?
Akido unifies vulnerability management across cloud, code, os dependencies and containers into one simple platform
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not found anything to dislike so far , it's been smooth and effective in my experience
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aikido security helped us assessment our container environments, quickly identified all vulnerabilities and effectively resolved then to stregthen our over all security posture
Effortless Setup and Intuitive UX with Advanced Options for Power Users
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of setup and the overall UX have an astoundingly low barrier to entry, but as an experienced SRE/infra engineer, I can still find my way to more advanced options.
I have used many similar systems, such as Snik, Detectify, and Datadog's Cloud Security platform, with varying degrees of success, and Aikido hits a very sweet spot between low learning curve and configurability.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some options I would like to use are currently restricted by cost due to team size, but I'm otherwise happy with the pricing vs features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aikido provides a very capability continuous automated penetration testing system which runs continuously against our environments, alongside a regular solid manual penetration test with our security partner.
We are expanding to make use of other featues, such as SAST, in our CI pipeline that has more than met the needs of other competitors we were using, namely Snik and Datadog.

A developer-first security tool that delivers fast, actionable results
What do you like best about the product?
At HotDoc, we integrated Aikido to enhance our secure development practices, and it has quickly demonstrated its worth. The platform is very developer-friendly, offering a seamless onboarding experience, rapid scans, and results that are both clear and actionable, all without overwhelming our teams with unnecessary noise. In contrast to many traditional SAST tools, Aikido feels lightweight but remains effective, providing the right guardrails to support our developers without causing delays. It allows us to maintain security at a pace that aligns with modern software development. I strongly recommend Aikido to security teams who prioritise a secure-by-design philosophy.
What do you dislike about the product?
These aren't major drawbacks, as Aikido is a newer tool and still evolving, but there are areas where the platform is less mature. Its cloud and infrastructure security coverage is not yet as comprehensive as its application code scanning. While integrations with core platforms like Github, Slack, and Jira are strong, support for broader ecosystems is still limited - though this is expected to expand over time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aikido's auto-ignore capability prioritises accuracy over noise by surfacing only vulnerabilities that truly matter. This significantly reduces alert fatigue common with older SAST tools and keeps our developers focused on fixes with real security impact.
The platform's fast, lightweight scans run in minutes and are non-disruptive to our development workflows. Unlike bulky enterprise SAST solutions, Aikido requires no heavy configuration or infrastructure overhead, making it easy to adopt.
With its developer-centric design, Aikido integrates natively with Github and Slack to deliver clear, actionable findings directly into existing workflows. Features like pull-request scans and inline comments minimise context switching for our developers.

Excellent platform for security and vulnerability management
What do you like best about the product?
We came to Aikido after a frustrating experience with another popular SAST platform. Aikido has be incredibly easy to get started with, and has quickly become an integral part of our security and compliance process. Within an hour of signing up, I was certain that this was the right platform for us. The team has been incredibly responsive to our needs, and we have yet to run into any major issues. The reports are simple and easy to understand, and we get clear and actionable insights from the scans. The workflow in Aikido is quite simple, so everyone on our team has been able to jump in with ease. I highly recommend having a look at them if you want a solid platform for managing your application security.
What do you dislike about the product?
Each issue is assigned a severity. Some issues are lacking context to justify their severity level, but even in these instances, we can easily modify the level and leave justifications where necessary for our compliance process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our organization takes security seriously and maintains compliance certifications to give our users confidence. Aikido makes it easy for us to uphold these strict security standards, simplifying what would otherwise be a complex and time-consuming process.
Finally, a Security Tool That Cuts Through the Noise
What do you like best about the product?
Aikido has been a great fit for our needs, with broad coverage across use cases and excellent support whenever we’ve needed it. Compared to other tools we’ve tried, it does a much better job at reducing noise and surfacing what actually matters, which saves our team a lot of time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Enterprise ready, broad set of features and amazing support team!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aikido helps us manage security across a wide range of codebases and dependencies without drowning in false positives. The platform consolidates what we need into one place, reduces noise compared to other tools, and gives our team clear, actionable insights. This saves time, improves focus, and helps us address real risks faster.
Rapid setup (minutes), human support (no bots) and a fantastic solution.
What do you like best about the product?
The combination of SAST/DAST/CSPM/SBOM/RASP (and other capabilities) is astoundingly useful. All-in-one security scanning and configuration validation may seem mythical and impossible, but it demonstrably is not. It's just that nobody was doing it well.
What do you dislike about the product?
For a young company, you can forgive the fact that there are not as many enterprise capabilities in the platform just yet, but that is definitely something they are aware of and working on as evidenced by the ability to enroll the entire AWS Organization instead of having to enroll each tenant account separately for the cloud security posture management scanning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Because the solution provides code and cloud modules, it is possible to link a repo scan (inside risk) with an API or web application scan (outside risk) for an integrated view of real exposure of vulnerabilities. But one of the features that is most valuable in my experience is taking on legacy code risk using the Zen Firewall as a RASP capability. This "in-app" firewall brings swift mitigation of common failings for inherited APIs and other apps whose authors have usually left the company and who never implemented rate limiting or blocking rules/logic.
Great all-in-one security product
What do you like best about the product?
Aikido is a great all-in-one security product that makes my life easier as an early stage startup founder. The UI/UX is simple and the coverage is broad. Customer support was also good.
What do you dislike about the product?
Issues and suggested remediations are at times ambiguous.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aikido helps me fulfill my SOC 2 and gives me security piece of mind that our infrastructure is hardened.
