How Aikido compares to Snyk

We’ve been using Aikido Security for almost a year now, and it’s been instrumental in managing our vulnerabilities through its robust repository and container scanning capabilities. The setup process was incredibly easy, allowing us to get started in just a few minutes by leveraging easy connection with Gitlab.

Aikido’s integration with Slack has been particularly beneficial, providing us with timely alerts and weekly status reports directly in our Slack channels. This integration has streamlined our workflow, ensuring that we stay on top of security issues without unnecessary noise.

The support team has been exceptional, always responsive and helpful.

Overall, we very much recommend Aikido as the tool to manage software vulnerabilities.

Aikido was quick and easy to deploy and delivers clear, relevant alerts without adding complexity. It connects multiple security tools, making them seamless and more efficient to use.

It has all the necessary integrations, covers key security needs like SAST, container, and infrastructure scans and the auto-triage with intelligent silencing is a game changer. The UI is intuitive, support has been extremely responsive, and pricing is fair. I also appreciate their participation in the open-source community.

Overall, it helps us stay ahead of security issues with minimal effort.

The platform focuses on doing one thing right, increasing the maturity of your company's security posture without having to spend a lot of effort in integration and triaging false positives. Its simple to integrate and simple to adopt for a small startup team that does not have a lot of bandwith but still wants to get better at InfoSecReview collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has everything from cloud scanning to repository scanning, licence management, container scanning, etc.

Aikido helps us automate both compliance and security. Without Aikido we'd be spending alot more time setting up tooling to have a similar experience.

It's great feeling in the team that Aikido is running in the back making sure we have no oversights in security measurements ranging from infrastructure to dependencies.

The team is very responsive on feedback and iterates very quickly.

Compared to well known competitors like Snyk, Aikido is much more affordable, more complete and most importantly much better at presenting the vulnerabilities that are actually reaching your systems. They use many popular open source libraries to scan your code, as well as propriatary ones, giving you a good mix

We were looking for a cheaper alternative to Snyk and Aikido fills that role fantastically. Good software, easy UI and most important of all very easy to talk to with feedback.

Everything was really simple to set-up and onboarding of team members a breeze.

Aikido does a great job filtering out the noise you get by the standard scanners out there.

They bundle a bunch of scanning techniques into their offering makes it quite effortless to check the security of our entire stack.

They are very responsive and client oriented.

Aikido is very easy to implement, in less then 10 minutes we had our first report.

The reports are very to the point while mentioning all the necessary information so our devs can easily plan and update the system.

We contacted support for one minor issue and got a reply in less then 4hours.

Today we use Aikido at least once a week to check if there are any new improvements to be made.

Aikido provides a comprehensive solution for monitoring and managing security issues across source code, dependencies, containers, and infrastructure. It’s incredibly easy to set up, and their customer support is highly responsive via Slack. Our engineering team relies on Aikido daily to triage new potential threats, and its integration with Linear helps streamline our development process.

Aikido is a highly scalable and easy to use solution, which aggregates multiple controls in one place and integrates seamlessly with IDEs and CI/CD pipelines. The support team is responsive and made quick adjustments in our environment. Additionally, it efficiently filters out obvious false positive alerts, which saved us many MD.

I really like the unintrusiveness of their service. It's a webapp where you register your code, container, IaC,... repositories and they scan them regularly pointing out the issues they found via statical analysis. There's integration to easily/automatically create follow up actions (tickets) aso. The app is great, you get up and running quite quickly.

Sometimes you need support, and that's great too (even if it's really technical).

The UI/UX of Aikido Security is amazing, making it one of the very few tools on the market that does not require a lot of reading to integrate and use!

We’ve been using Aikido Security for several months now, and I can confidently say that it has transformed how we manage and mitigate security risks within our organization. From day one, the onboarding process was seamless, and the platform’s intuitive interface made it incredibly easy to integrate with our existing infrastructure.

What truly sets Aikido apart is its proactive approach to comprehensive coverage. The real-time alerts give us a clear advantage, helping us stay ahead of potential security issues. Their support team is also top-notch. Whenever we had a question or needed assistance, their response was swift and thorough.

If you’re looking for a comprehensive, reliable, and forward-thinking security solution, I highly recommend Aikido Security. It’s a game changer for any organization serious about their security.

It integrates with all of our used services and scans for security problems and best practicies flawlesly. Also the provided rescources on how to fix the issue are really helpful. We also integrated Aikido in our Slack so we get notified immediatly when new issues pop up.

Setting everything up was very easy and the provided guides are up to date. Support is super fast and was able to answer all my questions in a few minutes.

Aikido integrates various open source security tools like Trivy and zaproxy in one simple to use dashboard where false positives and duplicates are removed. The team responds quickly on inquiries and explains clearly why certain findings are not shown. We are very happy that we do not have to integrate all these tools ourselves, that security experts do that work for us.

Aikido allowed us to implement a security by design process smoothly and quickly. My team loves the integration with Jira and how it feels a tool tailored on their needs of engineers (not security experts), no less and no more. Working with Aikido's team has been great, both in supporting us in the selection process and receiving our feedback - many times resulting is a rapid development of new features!

Given the affordable price for me it's a not brainer for any small-medium sized company.

Our organization implemented Aikido as our main Application Security app to take care of SCA, SAST, Container/Secret Scanning within our code base. Overall, we are very happy with Aikido's performance and ease of use. The deployment was quick and easy thanks to the Bitbucket Cloud integration.

I think the game changing features of Aikido is the auto-ignore capability and the reachability analysis. It helps our development team save time triaging false positives as well as prioritising issues that need to be addressed quickly.

The support we have received from the Aikido team has been top notch.

The standout feature of Aikido Security for me is its ease of use. The platform's wide variety of compatibilities enables seamless integration into our technology stack with minimal effort, especially when compared to configuring multiple separate open-source solutions. I would also like to commend the exceptional support and guidance from their team. They truly understand our needs and we have seamlessly integrated their improvements into our agile workflow. Our weekly sprints have become more robust with their input, ensuring that our platform remains secure. Furthermore, Aikido encourages the adoption of security best practices, transforming it from merely a tool to a partner in our security strategy.

Comprehensive tool! it scans code repositories and clouds which allow you to gain insights of your application as a whole. The reports are very usefull for less technical people as well.

Their transparancy, ease of use, they're improving their tool all the time.

Affordable price with stellar results. Typical competitors have steep pricing that scales with the number of repo's / number of instances running.

Aikido helps us stay ahead of the curve. It educates us about possible liabilities, and it engages the whole engineering team.

As your team, and the complexity of your app scales and changes, you find yourself not able to maintain oversight into all the different security aspects of your codebase. Tools that you get from Cloud providers and Github (bots) are powerful, but provide yet another signal of noise, are all distributed and all only are relevant to a specific aspect of your application security. Other DiY tools to monitor specific aspects all take time to setup and maintain. Aikido is quickly setup and nicely packages up this information in a cohesive way, providing this and the tools to comb through them.

It's nice that it can also be run in CI, so that you can catch things early and integrates nicely with Vanta to help in the efforts related to compliancy.

Aikido provides the easiest setup of any of such tools that I have tested so far. I was using it with the Gitlab integration and it recognized all of our repositories. The security warnings it provides are almost always correct and invalid warnings can easily be muted and it learns from this. It even found issues that our previous software could not find.

Aikido Security is very easy to setup and delivers its first results in mere minutes. It combines all the essential security scanning such as repo scanning, cloud security, credential leakage, ... in one package that's easy to use by any development team.

Aikido has been instrumental in keeping our application secure. The platform integrates smoothly with popular CI/CD pipelines and other security tools, facilitating a more streamlined vulnerability management process.

Aikido is primarily based on already available tools, making it feasible to replicate the basic technical functionalities it offers. This means they aren't introducing any novel security scanning features. They're also very open about this by providing some references to how and with which tool a certain finding was found.

For our specific use case, I believe Aikido's strength lies in other areas, mostly addressing false positives and providing an easy to use platform to have a full understanding of your security situation.

Addressing false positives is accomplished by considering factors such as the environment (dev/prod) and whether the vulnerable function or feature is present in your code base. If we were to develop our own security tools using CI/CD pipelines or something comparable, we'd be stuck with numerous false alerts each week, necessitating manual review.

Our teams have been able to quickly deploy and get value out of Aikido where our previous solution was noisey and cumbersome. The fact that we get all the code coverage we need with SAST+, SCA, IaC, Secrets Detection, Licensing, etc.

The all in one product is amazing and makes it easy for our engineering teams to see problem areas and fix them quickly. The other major feature of auto-triage has been such a time saver for our teams, telling us if we are actually using those libraries or certain modules in libraries and excluding them if they aren't relevant is so huge for us.

This enables our business to focus on fixing critical issues, ignoring irrelevant ones and delivering product to our customers.

Aikido Security stands out for its ability to deliver comprehensive, actionable security insights in a user-friendly manner. I was impressed with how quickly and seamlessly it could integrate into existing BitBucket, GitLab and GitHub repositories, and the simplicity of connecting our cloud environment (Google Cloud in this case) was commendable. One of the strongest points about Aikido is its ability to cut through the noise and deliver important, actionable vulnerabilities instead of flooding you with trivial issues or false positives.

I highly appreciate Aikido Security due to its clear user experience, enabling you to quickly identify and track security issues. With just a few clicks, you can seamlessly integrate it into your existing GitLab repositories and get started. One of the standout features for me is its communication of newly emerged security concerns through multiple channels, including email updates.

It's was super easy to connect our GitHub organization and cloud environment (AWS in our case).

After connecting, Aikido immediately starts to scan them and give you a list of potential issues/vulnerabilities to check. The checks are very broad: package vulnerabilities, committed secrets, security headers web server, vulnerable libraries in containers, ...

Before Aikido we used GitHub's security issues but in most cases the vulnerable packages are dev dependencies and thus not used in production. Aikido skips through that noise and provides us with actionable vulnerabilities.

I really like the Cloud scanning because it's easy to make mistakes with setting up infrastructure (also when doing maintenance or upgrades).

Being able to see the issues/vulnerabilities in one list (compared to GitHub) is also very useful.

As CTO, it's should be nobrainer to adopt a platform like Aikido. A data leak or hack might put you out of business.
