Aikido Security offers the best features including being very easy to use, allowing even a normal tech person with some hands-on experience to use this tool and clearly get the results they want.

The biggest win with Aikido Security was reducing context switching, as developers previously received vulnerability reports from multiple tools and tried to figure out ownership manually, and now most findings are visible in one place.

Aikido Security has positively impacted my organization significantly because initially we were thinking it would take a month for us to achieve SOC 2 compliance again, and with Aikido Security, we were able to get all codebase vulnerability fixes within a week for all our 13 or 14 repositories that we had.

There are a few areas for improvement. The first is scan speed; for large repositories, initial scans can be slow, and while incremental scanning helps, full scans still take considerable time.

I think Aikido Security could improve by reducing some pricing model. Pricing is quite high for a normal user, and if they can make it a little less, it will be much better.

The biggest challenge with Aikido Security initially was the alert volume, as connecting everything could result in hundreds or thousands of findings.

However, there was one minor issue that I faced. When I had a UUID for an object in the code, Aikido Security was considering it as a secret key, which it was not.

I think Aikido Security could be improved with more detailed remediation guidance, such as additional beginner-friendly tutorials and enhanced customization for alerts and reporting.

I think Aikido Security could be improved by addressing its Jira integration, which I feel needs a bit of work.
