Featured Reviews

Francisco Javier Vergara - PeerSpot reviewer
SecOps Engineer at IriusRisk
Automated scans have streamlined vulnerability workflows and now provide clear daily risk reports
In my experience, the best feature Aikido Security offers is its ease of use, as it was really easy to onboard our engineers into adopting Aikido Security in their day-to-day lives. The reason onboarding my engineers with Aikido Security was so easy is the user interface. The first thing our engineers see when they log in is a feed of vulnerabilities that their own repositories are affected by, which helps them focus only on their work at hand. I would also like to add that the integrations part is really useful, as all of the integrations we have added so far, mainly Jira, IDE, and API integrations, are really easy to use because they are backed by strong documentation that they maintain daily. This is a commendation to them. Aikido Security has positively impacted our organization by helping us reduce the complexity in managing our vulnerabilities. We now have a single source of truth with Aikido Security, allowing us to get rid of manually maintained automations that we previously had.

Using tools for compliance is beneficial but cost concerns persist
We have been using Coverity for quite a long period. It has been fine for our needs. I would rate Coverity between eight to nine, though the cost is high. I would rate their support from Coverity as six. That is the main complaint, but we still appreciate having it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Since switching to Aikido Security, I have noticed a positive impact on my team's productivity with measurable results, as we now have measurements."
"Coverity gives advisory and deviation features, which are some of the parts I liked."
"The solution effectively identifies bugs in code."
"The security analysis features are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Coverity provides excellent compliance and other features, which is a very good part."
"The most valuable feature of Coverity is the wrapper; we use the wrapper to build the C++ component, then we use the other code analysis to analyze the code to the build object, and then send back the result to the SonarQube server."
"The solution has improved our code quality and security very well."
"The solution has helped to increase staff productivity and improved our work significantly by approximately 20 percent."
"I encountered a bug with Coverity, and I opened a ticket; support provided me with a workaround, so it's working at the moment, or at least it seems to be."
 

Cons

"I think Aikido Security could be improved by addressing its Jira integration, which I feel needs a bit of work."
"It is an expensive solution. Their sales team is very arrogant."
"Sometimes it's a bit hard to figure out how to use the product’s UI."
"I would like to see integration with popular IDEs, such as Eclipse."
"Coverity is not a user-friendly product."
"The product lacks sufficient customization options."

"Coverity is not stable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate Coverity's price a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"The solution is affordable."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a one out of ten."
"Coverity’s price is on the higher side. It should be lower."
"The licensing fees are based on the number of lines of code."
"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, where one is low, and ten is high price."
