How Aikido compares to Orca Security
Aikido uses flat fees and transparent pricing. No extra cost for usage or users (within a user bracket).
The pricing for Orca Security isn't publically listed, but let's compare a ballpark yearly license.
Everything You Wish Security Tools Actually Did
Infrastructure as code (IaC)
Scans Terraform, CloudFormation & Kubernetes Helm charts for misconfigurations.
- Detect issues that leave your infrastructure open to attack
- Identify vulnerabilities before they're committed to the default branch
- Integrated in CI/CD Pipeline

Container Security
Scan your container operating system for packages with security issues.
- Checks if your containers have any vulnerabilities (Like CVEs)
- Highlights vulnerabilities based on container data sensitivity.
- Auto-triaging to filter out false positives

Cloud posture management
Detect cloud infrastructure risks across major cloud providers.
- Scans Virtual Machines (AWS EC2 instances) for vulnerabilities.
- Scan your cloud for misconfigurations and overly permissive user roles/access
- Automate security policies & compliance checks for SOC2, ISO27001, CIS & NIS2

Malware detection
The npm ecosystem is susceptible to malicious packages being published because of its open nature.Aikido identifies malicious code that may be embedded within JavaScript files or npm packages. Powered by Phylum. (Scans for backdoors, trojans, keyloggers, XSS, cryptojacking scripts and more.)

Protection at Runtime
Block zero-day vulnerabilities. Zen by Aikido detects threats as your application runs and stops attacks in real-time, before they ever reach your database. Block users, bots, countries & restrict IP routes.

Noise reduction
Aikido checks if you're using a certain function. If not, it's clearly a false positive and it's automatically triaged.
Read our docs
When Aikido detects a vulnerability, it consolidates all occurrences into a single report. Unlike other scanners that flood you with 20 separate alerts for the same affected function, Aikido keeps it streamlined and actionable.
Over 30 auto-ignore rules filter out false positives. You can feed Aikido with information to automatically adapt severity scores. (What's staging/production? What resources you consider critical?)
Why Look for Orca Security Alternatives
Orca Security on G2 takes an agentless approach to cloud security, but users say the UI is unintuitive and makes it hard to trace vulnerabilities to specific packages. Others note that Orca only identifies issues — it doesn’t help you fix them, which can slow teams down. For devs who want fewer clicks and faster remediation, that’s a dealbreaker.
Why Devs Pick Aikido Over Orca Security
Unified app and cloud view:
Orca scans cloud only. Aikido scans code and cloud in one place.
Easier to use:
Orca’s interface can be confusing. Aikido filters and surfaces issues fast.
Remediation support:
Aikido offers one-click fixes. Orca just tells you what’s broken.
Workflow integration:
Aikido pushes alerts to PRs and Slack. Orca lives in its own console.
Pricing:
Orca targets large enterprises. Aikido gives full coverage without enterprise pricing.

FAQ
Does Aikido require agents?
No! Unlike others, we're fully API based, no agents are needed to deploy Aikido! This way you're up & running in mere minutes & we're way less intrusive!
I don’t want to connect my repository. Can I try it with a test account?
Of course! When you sign up with your git, don’t give access to any repo & select the demo repo instead!
What happens to my data?
We clone the repositories inside of temporary environments (such as docker containers unique to you). Those containers are disposed of, after analysis. The duration of the test and scans themselves take about 1-5 mins. All the clones and containers are then auto-removed after that, always, every time, for every customer.
