Akto API Security Platform Reviews & Product Details

The things I like best about Akto are- it's automated security testing for APIs, it has easy CI/CD integration, centralized policy enforcement as well as developer-friendly UX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downside of Akto which I feel is that when new users use it then they might need time to understand API security concepts, policy design, and how to write effective checks, also complex ecosystems can require effort to configure, and it has dependency on integrations.

We needed a solution to manage our growing APIs and customer data, and Akto has been of great help so far. It helps us automate security testing, and easily integrates with other tools that we use like Jira. And the best thing I like about them is the excellent customer support that they provide.

Nothing so far. It has so many features, I am yet to explore all of them, so can't point out anything as of now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be hard to understand at times. Although I know its effective, the manner in which is provides services are not clearly defined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- The dashboard is pretty clear and easy to navigate.

- Projects can be managed individually yet in the same panel, unlike Burpsuite I need not change file everytime for a new project.

- PoCs as I mentioned are the best I've observed also the categorisation of vulnerabilities or security risk is done quite well.

- Also the platform has training sessions which is awesome for interns and trainees to be trained initially, from there they can get basic knowledge easy and handy.

- Reports can be exported as well.

- Integrating or I might say Implementing the tool is pretty easy once you explore it completely.

I've used it several times but every time I login I find a new feature !! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not actually a disadvantage but akto is a vast tool and has immense details to be looked upon so one might need to spend out a significant amount of time to explore it completely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Akto’s integration of Agentic AI into its API security suite has truly revolutionized our approach to securing APIs. The autonomous AI agents are incredibly efficient—performing API discovery, vulnerability testing, and sensitive data exposure detection at scale and with remarkable speed. The fact that these agents operate with human-like reasoning and adapt over time makes Akto feel more like an extension of our security team than just another tool. I also appreciate how seamlessly Akto integrates with existing DevSecOps pipelines and CI/CD workflows, reducing our manual effort significantly. The scalability and real-time continuous monitoring allow us to stay ahead of threats without extra overhead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Akto is a powerful platform, the learning curve can be slightly steep for teams new to AI-driven security tools. The platform offers extensive capabilities, but some of the more advanced customizations and deployment options require a solid understanding of your API infrastructure. Additionally, while support is responsive, more in-app tutorials or interactive onboarding could make the initial setup experience smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provides everything a pentester could hope for when conducting security testing, primarily filtering out broken authentication issues when capturing API traffic and it also automatically detects broken access control issues during testing, which usually requires manual effort to find. I really liked the tool.I've had a great experience with Akto. It's packed with all the features you need for penetration testing. Super easy to use and really reliable in finding vulnerabilities. Definitely a must have for anyone into security testing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using this product for a while and honestly, I can't find anything to dislike. It works

Akto Findings , it goes and helps make our endpoints secure by doing all the security checks for apis like interceptor strong/rate limmittor Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I fell it cant go deeper than that said beside. It would be better if they o deeper and analyse security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is quite clean and from an API perspective it covers everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is only available for API. I know that's the entire moat of the company but we had t odiscontinue it as there are many infosec requirements of a company and we can't have different vendors for everything Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s easy to set up and helps me find and fix API issues quickly without much hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some features take a bit of time to understand at first, especially if you're new to API security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simplicity and the easy-going dashboard really helps in building up your pace to interact with the application's logic quite quickly. It's intutive in nature Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's nothing to dislike about a security tooling that really helps you to scan your API endpoints and maintain inventory and all of that. However there are areas of improvement in terms of UI/UX which could make the experience even more smoother. The debugging errors could be more technical and detailed. Integrations inside BurpSuite using akto.jar glitches sometimes and reports back API details which have already been excluded from the project settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
