Aikido Security is used for finding vulnerabilities in source code and defenses, and scanning cloud infrastructure for security misconfigurations. For example, when one of my developers or I pushes a Django project, Aikido Security can scan the project, detect that one of its defenses has a known vulnerability, flag it, and alert the development security team, of which I am a specialist, so they can update the defense.

For code security, Aikido Security is used to scan source code for potential vulnerabilities and defense security. For example, it checks third-party libraries and packages for known security problems.

Aikido Security is very effective at integrating into our development life cycle or CI/CD pipelines.

The best features Aikido Security offers are vulnerability scanning, finding security weaknesses in applications and defenses, software composition analysis by identifying vulnerable or outdated third-party packages, and cloud security that detects misconfigurations and security risks in cloud environments.

The unique standouts for Aikido Security are the single dashboard, security findings from the dashboard, and developer-friendly approach, plus automated scanning.

Aikido Security saves time for my organization by having automated scanning that reduces repetitive manual security checks.

Aikido Security's improved security helps my organization identify vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. The early threat detection is an added benefit.

Aikido Security helps with early certification processes or compliance checks by reducing potential costs through finding vulnerabilities early to prevent expensive security incidents.

Aikido Security could be improved by reducing false positives, providing clearer remediation guidance, improving integrations and reporting, and making the platform easier for non-security professionals to understand.

I would like to see better integration with specific tools or platforms such as Jira.

Aikido Security should improve integrations, for example, by adding deeper integration with tools such as Jira, Slack, and GitHub.

I have been using Aikido Security for quite some time.

It was easy for my team to adopt and start using Aikido Security; the learning curve was pretty smooth.

I am very satisfied with Aikido Security's ability to keep up with emerging security threats and vulnerabilities.

Aikido Security is very responsive to feature requests or feedback from my team because user feedback can help shape improvements to the platform.

Aikido Security documentation and training resources are very useful to new users because the setup integration guidance can make the onboarding process seamless.

I would rate this product 8 out of 10.

My main use case for Aikido Security is a centralized place where I can manage all of my security posture across my company.

For that main use case, I use mainly Aikido Security to check that my cloud accounts are safe, that there are no critical vulnerabilities around, and that all of the best practices are applied across the board.

Regarding my main use case for Aikido Security, it helps me a lot in my day-to-day life because it has automated built-in reports for Jira and Slack, so having this kind of information instantly alleviates a lot of pressure.

In my opinion, the best features Aikido Security offers include how easy it is to implement and how fast you can have it running on day one.

When I say it is easy to implement, basically, I just had to run a template in my AWS account and give it access to GitHub; with those two steps, 80% of the implementation was already done.

Aikido Security has positively impacted my organization by reducing the time spent chasing vulnerabilities and increasing the visibility of our issues internally, making them easier to track down and pinpoint an origin for them, while also alleviating a lot of pain we had when reaching out to developers about security issues.

Aikido Security can be improved; its Jira implementation is great, but it is lacking a few departments, such as having the ability to inject HTML within Jira, which would be really nice to have.

I have been using Aikido Security for over a year.

Aikido Security is stable.

Aikido Security's scalability is wonderful.

The customer support for Aikido Security is unbeatable; they are really easy to talk to, very friendly, and their response time is ridiculously low.

I would rate the customer support a 10 out of 10.

I did not previously use a different solution.

My experience with Aikido Security's pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that pricing is very straightforward, its information is publicly available on the website, setup cost was none basically, and the licensing is included within the price.

I have seen a return on investment; I already shared earlier that our biggest ROI is the time needed in chasing vulnerabilities, which has been reduced by roughly 70%.

Before choosing Aikido Security, I did not evaluate other options.

I find myself checking Aikido Security for these issues daily.

I use Aikido Security daily since I received daily reports of usage and compliance across the board, which means I need to check it daily and even several times a day.

I think Aikido Security's AI capabilities are scoped correctly; it only affects a few parts of the applications, so not everything is governed by AI, just a few features.

Regarding Aikido Security's AI accuracy and reliability of output, I think its AI capabilities are all right, but it can miss the point sometimes; it is good to have a fast and cheap overview, but I would not rely 100% on it.

My advice to others looking into using Aikido Security is to get it as soon as possible; right now, it is a very good tool for a very good price, and you will see a return on investment in less than six months. I have given Aikido Security an overall rating of 10 out of 10.
