Aikido Security Reviews

Best valuefor their money!

Pros:

Excellent simple integration and a great dashboard. The superb mechanism that prevents false positives and ignores findings that are not valid vulnerabilities. Good SAST and SCA mechanisms. DAST is still upgrading, but it is helpful now.

Cons:

Slack notifications can be more informative :-) But weekly digests are fine!

Great disruptor in the security tooling ecosystem

Pros:

Aikido's biggest benefit is their ease-of-use. You can literally get started in 2 minutes. Findings are actually useful and have a good resolve advise.

Cons:

Right now it's mainly static code checks. I would love to see the addition of real time cloud event detection.

Alternatives Considered: Snyk and Orca Security

Switched From: Snyk

Reasons for Switching to Aikido Security: The price to quality ratio is biggest for Aikido.

Just try it!

Pros:

Simple, quick setup, for a (monthly) fixed fee. Contains a rich feature set, which is difficult to all find combined in one other tool.

Cons:

The inability to connect our ticket service (shortcut.com)

All-in-one vulnerability monitoring

Comments: I liked how easy to setup it was and how quickly it gives useful results by integrating different security tools: SAST, dependencies monitoring, etc.

Pros:

Aikido provides an all-in-one solution, including several features that I was used to get from different tools, either SaaS or open-source software I had to run manually. Aikido provides a comprehensive security overview of your applications and infrastructures, in a clear and efficient dashboard, with some powerful features like automatically filtering out non-relevant vulnerabilities (e.g. filtering out vulnerabilities from dependencies that may have no impact due to the context they're used in - backend or frontend, dev deps...).

Cons:

Not having done the setup of the cloud, I'm not clear yet on what controls it provides and how this can help me secure my cloud. Also, while the free plan is quite generous, the first paid level is a bit high (250$/mo for up to 10 users) and maybe a more accessible plan would be appreciated. Though if you're a startup you can benefit from a discount up to 50% :)

Great value for money

Comments: It's great collaborating with the team at Aikidio, who took all my suggestions on board and implemented any that made sense.

Pros:

Gives us peace of mind, and compliance (including integrations with compliance software) for less money than the competition.

Cons:

It's an early-stage product, so expect it to be missing some features, or have some areas for improvement.

Review Aikido after using it for a couple of months.

Pros:

The easy connection with github, quick scanning and recommendations.

Cons:

Free trial is a bit more limited (which is logical and not an issue ofcourse).
