Reviews ](https://www.g2.com/products/akto-api-security-platform/reviews) # Akto API Security Platform Features ##### ## API Construction (4) API Testing Provides an environment for users to rest their API's functionality, efficiency, and data accuracy. Data Security Allows users to secure access to data. Provides additional support for security practices like IP whitelisting, attack mitigation, and data encryption. Orchestration Allows administrators to create APIs that utilize multiple backend resources and databases. Scalability Expands functionality while maintaining balanced loads. Serves growing demand without reducing functionality. Show More ##### ## API Management (5) Traffic Control Limits access to suspicious visitors and monitors for traffic spikes to prevent overloads like DDoS attacks. Logs/Documentation Records details related to usage and functionality for analytics and reporting. API Monitoring Detects anomalies in functionality, user accessibility, traffic flows, and tampering. Monetization Allows administrators to manage pricing and billing of API integration with customer applications. Gateway Provides a dashboard for users to manage, govern, and secure their API. Show More ##### ## Data Integration (3) App Integration The functionality at which APIs integrate with and perform within third-party applications. Data Transformation Translates complex datasets and backend systems into formats that can be interpreted by applications. Plugins Provides additional functionality for increased security, analytics, monitoring, and other features not included in the native feature set. Show More ##### ## Administration (2) API / Integrations Application Programming Interface Specification for how the application communicates with other software. APIs typically enable integration of data, logic, objects, etc. with other software applications. Extensibility Provides the ability to extend the platform to include additional features and functionalities Show More ##### ## Analysis (4) Reporting and Analytics Tools to visualize and analyze data. Issue Tracking Track issues as vulnerabilities are discovered. Documents activity throughout the resolution process. Vulnerability Scan Scans applications and networks for known vulnerabilities, holes and exploits. Code Analysis Scans application source code for security flaws without executing it. Show More ##### ## Testing (6) Manual Testing Allows users to perfrom hands-on live simulations and penetration tests. Test Automation Runs pre-scripted security tests without requiring manual work. Compliance Testing Allows users to test applications for specific compliance requirements. Black-Box Scanning Scans functional applications externally for vulnerabilities like SQL injection or XSS. Detection Rate The rate at which scans accurately detect all vulnerabilities associated with the target. False Positives The rate at which scans falsely indicate detection of a vulnerability when no vulnerabilitiy legitimately exists. Show More ##### ## API Management (4) API Discovery Detects new and undocumented assets as they enter a network and add them to asset inventory. API Monitoring Detects anomalies in functionality, user accessibility, traffic flows, and tampering. Reporting Provides results of the simulation and reveals potential security gaps or vulnerabilitites. Change Management Tools to track and implement required security policy changes. Show More ##### ## Security Testing (3) Compliance Monitoring Monitors data quality and send alerts based on violations or misuse. API Verification Allows users to set customizable API verification settings to improve security requirements. API Testing Runs pre-scripted security tests without requiring manual work. Show More ##### ## Security Management (1) Security and Policy Enforcement Abilities to set standards for network, application, and API security risk management. Show More ##### ## Agentic AI - Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) (1) Autonomous Task Execution Capability to perform complex tasks without constant human input Show More ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![GitLab](https://images.g2crowd.com/uploads/product/hd_favicon/2397ccd7309ef2bca71e3a275d59a5a3/gitlab.svg "GitLab") GitLab 4.5/5(898) ](https://www.g2.com/products/gitlab/reviews) [ ![Postman](https://images.g2crowd.com/uploads/product/hd_favicon/1535488313/postman.svg "Postman") Postman 4.6/5(1,793) ](https://www.g2.com/products/postman/reviews) [ ![Celigo](https://images.g2crowd.com/uploads/product/hd_favicon/65cfa0101c8ae962f026e41cf870231b/celigo.svg "Celigo") Celigo 4.6/5(1,082) ](https://www.g2.com/products/celigo/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/akto-api-security-platform/competitors/alternatives) ##### Categories on G2 [ API Management ](https://www.g2.com/categories/api-management)[ API Security ](https://www.g2.com/categories/api-security)[ Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) ](https://www.g2.com/categories/dynamic-application-security-testing-dast) [ Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) ](https://www.g2.com/categories/interactive-application-security-testing-iast) Show More ##### Explore More [ What audience intelligence tools help analysts quickly identify which channels an audience uses most so media budgets are not being allocated based on guesswork? ](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-audience-intelligence-tools-help-analysts-quickly-identify-which-channels-an-audience-uses-most-so-media-budgets-are-not-being-allocated-based-on-guesswork%20)[ What is the top-rated visual collaboration platform for enterprises? ](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-the-top-rated-visual-collaboration-platform-for-enterprises)[ Best software for vendor spend management ](https://www.g2.com/discussions/best-software-for-vendor-spend-management-what-tools-actually-keep-it-in-check) [ Best employer of record software ](https://www.g2.com/discussions/best-employer-of-record-eor-software-to-try-in-2025-share-your-thoughts)[ What is the best MDM platform for enterprise data integration? ](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-the-best-mdm-platform-for-enterprise-data-integration)[ Pros and Cons Details ](https://www.g2.com/products/akto-api-security-platform/reviews?qs=pros-and-cons) Show More [ What audience intelligence tools help analysts quickly identify which channels an audience uses most so media budgets are not being allocated based on guesswork? ](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-audience-intelligence-tools-help-analysts-quickly-identify-which-channels-an-audience-uses-most-so-media-budgets-are-not-being-allocated-based-on-guesswork%20)[ What is the top-rated visual collaboration platform for enterprises? ](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-the-top-rated-visual-collaboration-platform-for-enterprises)[ Best software for vendor spend management ](https://www.g2.com/discussions/best-software-for-vendor-spend-management-what-tools-actually-keep-it-in-check) [ Best employer of record software ](https://www.g2.com/discussions/best-employer-of-record-eor-software-to-try-in-2025-share-your-thoughts)[ What is the best MDM platform for enterprise data integration? ](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-the-best-mdm-platform-for-enterprise-data-integration)[ Pros and Cons Details ](https://www.g2.com/products/akto-api-security-platform/reviews?qs=pros-and-cons)
