Aikido Security Reviews & Product Details

What I like most is the real value Aikido delivers in the free tier. Most security tools offer very limited testing on free plans, but Aikido provides meaningful features and tooling that are genuinely usable in day-to-day engineering workflows. Integration was straightforward, reporting is standardized and consistent, and dashboard access is clear with developer-friendly, actionable results. The strength of the free tier is exactly why I’m highly interested in evaluating the Pro version next. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No major product-level downsides in our free-tier experience so far. The free tier already delivers substantial practical value. Our move to Pro is less about fixing gaps and more about applying a stricter evaluation standard, as expected, across advanced depth, scalability, and enterprise-grade controls.” Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Aikido Security provides a clean and unified approach to application security, especially for Static Application Security Testing (SAST). The platform is easy to implement, integrates well into existing development workflows, and presents findings in a clear, developer-friendly way. It reduces noise by prioritizing actionable issues instead of overwhelming teams with false positives. The centralized dashboard and straightforward remediation guidance make it practical for real-world use, particularly for small to mid-sized engineering teams.

While Aikido Security is strong in usability and core AppSec features, some advanced customization and reporting options could be improved for larger or highly regulated environments. Deeper configuration controls and more granular policy tuning would be helpful for complex enterprise setups. Additionally, expanding advanced analytics and historical trend reporting would further strengthen the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It feels like having a calm, senior engineer sitting next to me during code reviews. Instead of yelling about every possible issue, Aikido focuses on the things that actually matter. The low noise is a huge deal for us, because once a tool starts crying wolf, engineers stop listening. I also really like how we can encode our own standards and domain knowledge as custom rules. Over time, it starts to feel less like a generic tool and more like something that understands how our team thinks and writes code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If I had to nitpick, the value of some advanced features like custom rules is not obvious immediately. It really shines after you have used it for a while, but the initial “aha” moment could come a bit faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Aikido Security is very user-friendly and easy to navigate, even for team members who are not deeply specialized in security. It helps us quickly identify and manage vulnerabilities in one place, which saves time and makes our workflow much more efficient. The platform is intuitive, and it’s easy to get value from it quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, the experience has been very positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Aikido Security has been a standout platform for us thanks to its simplicity, speed, and accuracy. The onboarding experience was incredibly smooth, and the platform immediately gave us clear, actionable insights without the usual noise you get from traditional SAST tools.

Their customer support is exceptional — responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us improve our security posture. The UI is clean and intuitive, making it easy for engineers and security staff to quickly identify, prioritise, and remediate issues.

What we appreciate most is that Aikido takes a modern, developer-friendly approach to security. It integrates effortlessly into our workflows and gives us confidence that our code is continuously monitored with minimal friction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s very little to dislike, but if anything, we’d like to see even deeper integrations with some of the other tools in our security stack as the platform continues to grow. A few advanced configuration options could also be expanded to give more flexibility for larger or more complex environments.

That said, the Aikido team iterates incredibly quickly, and any limitations we’ve come across have often already been addressed by the time we revisit them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really liked how easy it was to set up, and how quickly I could add my projects to the project list and start getting insights into issues in my codebase. It’s easy to drill down into the details, and I especially like the way it groups common issues together. The AI recommendations for resolving issues are brilliant and make it much simpler to understand what to fix next. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really can't see anything that jumps out as needing improvement. Possibly setup flow could use some tweaks as there are a lot of options for configuration but once you understand how it is structured it works well. Previously I had thought was not doing dependancy scanning but in fact it is =, I just had not configured that correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Aikido Security gives a nice overview and quick fixes through automated reviews. It runs weekly scans that highlight what we need to change in a clear overview, which is really helpful. The app provides quick ways to solve vulnerabilities, making it valuable for reviewing our codebase and app security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see improvements in a few areas: The code review in Cursor is good, but it doesn't always manage to solve simple vulnerabilities like SQL injection. Better info in the issue description for Cursor could help. The price of pentesting is very high and makes it difficult to sell to clients as real pentesting; the price should be lower in my opinion. Additionally, support could be improved for more complicated issues, like providing step-by-step instructions for removing old secrets in a repo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the dynamics and simplicity of Aikido Security, as they manage to make the complex simple with all the power of analysis. I value the simple access menu and the clarity in the step-by-step process to integrate the codes with GitHub. The summary of the analyses saves time and helps solve security issues. Additionally, the initial setup was very simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Clearly, there should be pricing not only for 10 users that generates a value of more than 300 USD, but there should also be pricing for 1 or 2 users. This will allow the subscription to the tool to increase for every programmer. Today, a subscription costs between 25 to 30 USD, something really feasible for any user. So, being able to scale the number of users would allow you to have more clients at all levels, not just those standardized in the option of 10 to 20 or 30 users. This harms the potential use of the tool by every retail client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Aikido Security for scanning our codebase for potential security issues and as an active scanner on our production Django server. I really like its very intuitive dashboard, which is key for me. The issues are described clearly and prioritized automatically, and it tells me the estimated time to fix them. The setup was very easy and fast with clear instructions. I appreciate how Aikido Security instantly checks our AWS configuration and mobile app code, alerting us when there's a potential problem to solve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The add-on for the Django server is a bit unclear in what it is doing and it is difficult to know whether it is active or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use and follow the latests updates of the packages we are using !

Implementation is quick and easy via a GitHub repository or domain check.

I use it frequently to keep track of important updates to my npm packages.

The integration for checking GitHub PRs is quite well done, even if it finds fewer issues than GitHub Copilot.

I have never needed to call customer support, so I have no complaints in that regard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the price, even though there are quite a few things in the free version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
