“Aikido’s Product Is Great, But Their Support Really Stands Out With Fast Responses and Fixes”

5.0
Mar 14, 2026
We use many SAASes and I've personally selected and onboarded several of them. It's safe to say I'm by far and away happiest with the choice of Aikido out of all of them. The product is great and does everything we need, but the support is phenomenal, world class and makes it a joy to work with them.

    Centralizing Security Findings Enhances Team Visibility and Risk Management Efforts

    5.0
    Apr 27, 2026
    Aikido delivers fast value with minimal setup, and onboarding is simple and efficient. Enabling visibility, prioritisation and developer adoption across teams. Our experience shows that many systems that a company uses are scattered across and are not related or talk to each other apart from the functional part of the solution, resulting in findings that are stuck in that system and can be easily missed, so when a system provides a true place for all findings that are related to one another even though they are systems apart, it’s a huge benefit and gives us a view that we didn’t know we needed.

    The period we use Aikido is too short for me to write an extensive comment. So far, it does what is expected of it.

Aikido Security Likes & Dislikes

Like

The product itself does everything we need and more. The way they support us is insane and I've never seen anything like it. We have a shared Slack channel and someone always responds, usually within minutes and often the CTO/CEO himself engages with us and our issues directly. They often fix issues the same day, and sometimes even on weekends. Their auto-ignore functionality, while not perfect, is best in class and does an amazing job at reducing the noise so we can concentrate on the security signal (i.e. actual problems). The web UI, while not perfect, is much better than any of the competitors I looked at (by a long way) and includes very powerful filtering functionality that always allows me to narrow down to the subset of our product that I want to focus on. They have a good API and quickly add anything we find missing from it. The reporting functionality is great and super valuable to make our GRC work easier by providing reporting based on standards (such as SOC 2) that we're trying to maintain. The integrations are expansive and cover everything we need and were easy to setup. Good SSO integration and audit logging.

Like

Unified security view across code, cloud providers and dependencies with clear risk priorities that developers can understand and action. This allows the security team to have accountability and control as well as progression towards a tighter environment. Centric platform where efficiency is clear and logical. Vulnerability scanning and pen tests to find constant exposures and risks in new or refined features.

Like

Integration with JIRA

Dislike

Honestly, these are all very minor (almost petty concerns). 1) The web UI, while great overall, has some weird inconsistencies (e.g. not being able to choose how to sort tables by column on some pages) 2) The docs, while expansive, are a little sprawling and hard to search, I tend to resort to asking a web-search enabled LLM to help me find what I need 3) The secret detection, whilst good overall, is probably the most prone to false positives. 4) The filtering is extremely powerful but can be somewhat unintuitive at times.

Dislike

Advanced customization options are still in development and evolving, but the roadmap and responsiveness help offset these limitations.

Dislike

Many false postives in exposed secrets
