Aikido AI Pentest

What do you like best about the product?

I really like Aikido Security for its clean UI, which is rather easy to use and offers many options. The AI checks and fixes are the most important features for me as they help find weaknesses quickly, speeding up the process compared to manual fixes. I find the automation and explanation aspects particularly effective in my work process. Also, the initial setup was easy.

What do you dislike about the product?

Each fix creates a PR in GitHub, and I want to be able to merge multiple fixes together in one PR.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Aikido Security to find weaknesses in code quickly. The AI checks speed up fixing code errors or weaknesses, saving me time on manual processes.

What do you like best about the product?

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.

What do you dislike about the product?

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.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Aikido Security helps us automatically detect and fix vulnerabilities across our codebase, containers, and dependencies — all in one place. It saves us a lot of time by consolidating security scans that would otherwise require multiple tools. As a small startup, this means we can maintain strong security standards, giving us peace of mind and helping us move faster with confidence.

What do you like best about the product?

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.

What do you dislike about the product?

I think the scanning functions with AI could be explained a little better.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Aikido Security is solving critical vulnerability management challenges that were previously consuming significant time and resources. Before implementation, our security team struggled with manual identification and prioritization of vulnerabilities across our infrastructure. Now we can automatically detect, assess, and prioritize security threats in real-time, which has dramatically improved our threat response time. We've reduced vulnerability assessment cycles from days to hours, enabling us to address critical security issues much faster. The platform provides clear risk scoring and context for each vulnerability, helping us focus on the most impactful security gaps first. This has resulted in a stronger overall security posture and greater peace of mind knowing our infrastructure is continuously protected.

What do you like best about the product?

I like that it alerts you as soon as a problems arises. email notification is great!

What do you dislike about the product?

Pricing is high for a start up. Im currently using lovable so payment through there platform using their credits would work best for a developer point of view

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It pointed out vulnerabilities so i was able to resolve before carrying on the build. its a great tool.

What do you like best about the product?

Aikido has changed the way we think about code vulnerabilities. It’s helped us work more efficiently in our workflows, while also preventing vulnerabilities from reaching production. Aikido has a wealth of integrations, is extremely fast, has an intuitive UI, and is easy to onboard. Their built in AI assists in delineating between false positives and true.

What do you dislike about the product?

Aikido is great all around. The only thing I would request is lowering the minimum required seats.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Aikido helps ensure our code and security reviews are effective, which lets us spend more time building.

What do you like best about the product?

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.

What do you dislike about the product?

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.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Aikido Security is a huge time saver by notifying us of critical vulnerabilities as they happen and reviewing our code in each PR to catch security issues.

What do you like best about the product?

I like using Aikido Security because it helps us oversee our environments and alerts us to critical vulnerabilities. It makes it easier to centralize our vulnerability management. I appreciate its easy-to-understand interface and the auto-fix feature is a big help. Also, the initial setup was easy.

What do you dislike about the product?

I wish there was a light subscription package between the existing free tier and paid tier.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Aikido Security to oversee our environments and it centralizes our vulnerability management, making it easier to manage and alert us to critical vulnerabilities.

What do you like best about the product?

Automated code security scanning, with easy git integration.

What do you dislike about the product?

Don't really understand pricing model. Didn't make it easy for me to feel like I wanted to buy. Hence have delayed purchase.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helping us keep track of security vulnerabilities in our codebase as they emerge. Allows us to proactively mitigate security risks.

What do you like best about the product?

It saves me time by identifying common security issues that are easy to overlook and might otherwise be missed. The UI is intuitive and self-explanatory. It integrates seamlessly with git repositories and they offer a generous free plan.

What do you dislike about the product?

The time estimates for solving certain issues are not always realistic. Sometimes these solution times are overestimated and are way higher than they should be. Also, some deeper issues that require multiple steps to fix weren't always identified (I have used only the free version though and can't say for the paid version).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It saves me time mostly by identifying smaller common vulnerabilites that are easy to overlook.

What do you like best about the product?

Dependency tracking is a given, but I didn't expect to be able to have Aikido be able to edit code to ensure there was no exposure to the relevant CVEs, if for some reason I wasn't able to upgrade the dependency.

The UX for reviewing SAST code findings is also refreshingly simple, SQL injection finding to reviewing a diff and creating a PR in GitHub within a couple of clicks.

As security is only one of my responsibilities, having a go-to dashboard with a clear list of prioritised actions for me to look at has made life much simpler than looking at endless dependabot PRs with limited context.

What do you dislike about the product?

I’ve run into some issues verifying domain ownership while trying it out their website probing tests, but haven't tried contacting them about it yet

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Improving confidence in security standing in preparation for formal security accreditation/audits
