Performance of Aikido Security Across Market Features

Aikido Security Likes & Dislikes

Like

As a software vendor servicing the accounting industry, security is paramount. Unfortunately, there's often a steep barrier to world-class security tooling for a growing self-funded startup. Aikido has struck a balance between price and functionality, where it's easy to see the value in their offering, and justify the cost. Their simple and transparent pricing made it much easier to budget and ensure our requirements are being met. Their product covers virtually the entire suite of features we need from a security tool to give us the comfort that we are following secure coding and deployment practices, while being non-intrusive to our staff.

Like

It is simple to use, cost effective and integrated with our GRC provider Drata.

Like

Low level of noise, clean UI that makes triaging findings nice and easy. Integration with Vanta.

Dislike

So far no real dislikes.

Dislike

At first I could not login with my Microsoft account using Chrome but it started working the next day. I would like it to be a little cheaper for me as a 2 person development group but it still so much better than the cost for other systems or having to create something from scratch.

Dislike

We would welcome more options to get alerts on slack such as better reminders of work that needs doing (at the moment there is a weekly alert on slack with a high level of detail of current issues, but extra alerting to look at critical issues that are soon out of SLA would be great). The SLA feature could do with some improvements too, e.g. Team-specific slack/email reminders and scoring to incentivise users to keep track of finding SLAs.

    Intuitive Interface and useful Mute Feature for Security Management

    4.0
    Sep 5, 2025
    We have been using Aikido for more than two years. As a Swiss Fintech company, we build a platform for highly regulated financial institutions where security is essential. The interface of Aikido is clean and more intuitive, which we used before. The detection quality, for the areas we are using, is about the same, but we can mute issues ans save time like that.
