How it works

How Aikido works

Connect your code, cloud & containers

It doesn't matter on which tool stack you are. Aikido connects with most popular stacks and scans continuously for issues.

Get relevant security & code quality alerts

No need to sift through hundreds of alerts. Only few of them really matter. Aikido auto-triages notifications.

Features

Features that you'll love

Static Code Analysis

Scans your source code for security vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, XSS, buffer overflows and other security risks. Checks against popular CVE databases. It works out-of-the-box and supports all major languages.

Zero-in on real threats with Aikido

DAST & API Security

Monitor your App and APIs to find vulnerabilities like SQL injection, XSS, and CSRF—both on the surface and via authenticated DAST. Simulate real-world attacks and scan every API endpoint for common security threats. Our Nuclei-based scanner checks your self-hosted apps for common vulnerabilities.

Software Composition Analysis

Analyse third-party components such as libraries, frameworks, and dependencies for vulnerabilities. Aikido does reachability analysis, triages to filter out false positives, and provides clear remediation advice. Auto-fix vulnerabilities with one click.

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.
  • AutoFix your container images with pre-hardened base images
Virtual Machine Scanning

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
CI CD Integration

Cloud & K8s 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.)

Aikido malware detection

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.

Orchestrate security follow-up

Aikido is API-first. Easily integrate with your project management tools, task managers, chat apps,.. Sync your security findings and status to Jira. Vulnerability fixed? Jira syncs back to Aikido. Get chat alerts for new findings, routed to the correct team or person for each project.

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).

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.

Aikido is primarily based on already available tools, making it feasible to replicate the basic technical functionalities it offers.

Aikido was initially implemented to meet some ISO standards. We already did some (manual) periodic scanning ourselves but Aikido was a great addition since it did the scanning automatically, more frequently and it would provide the necessary reporting to management and auditors.

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.

Why Look for Snyk Alternatives?

down arrow

According to G2, developers often find that Snyk can overwhelm them with noise – too many “vulnerabilities” that turn out to be false positives, and an alert UI that’s hard to manage day-to-day. Others cite frustrations with Snyk’s overlapping product modules and high costs once you go beyond the free tier, making it tricky to get full coverage without breaking the budget.

Why Devs Pick Aikido Over Snyk

down arrow

Fewer False Alarms:

Snyk’s scans often require triaging a flood of issues (many low-priority or false positives). Aikido emphasizes only surfacing real risks – so devs spend less time on “noise” and more time fixing real problems.

All-in-One Simplicity:

Snyk is actually a bundle of separate tools (Snyk Code, Snyk Open Source, etc.), which means multiple setups and UIs. Aikido rolls SAST, SCA, container, and cloud scans into one platform, one setup – way simpler.

Faster Setup & CI Integration:

Getting Snyk fully integrated across repos and CI pipelines can be a hassle. Aikido plugs into your CI/CD and repos with minimal fuss, scanning from Day 1 without the lengthy configuration Snyk might require.

Transparent Pricing:

Many teams outgrow Snyk’s free plan quickly and discover steep pricing (with add-ons for each module). Aikido’s pricing is straightforward and flat – no surprise charges for adding projects or users.

On-Prem Ready:

Snyk is cloud-only (no on-premises option), which is a deal-breaker for some compliance-focused companies. Aikido offers an on-premise scanner for those who need it, without sacrificing functionality.

Can I use Aikido to replace both Snyk and other tools like StackHawk or Invicti?

Yes. Aikido covers what most teams need from SAST, SCA, DAST, API security, and more—reducing tool sprawl.

Why are devs switching from Snyk to Aikido?

Snyk users report clunky UX, high costs, too much noise, and limited coverage. Aikido fixes all of that.

Do you charge extra for recursive scans or open source dependencies?

No. Aikido doesn’t nickel-and-dime you for scanning transitive dependencies.

Is Aikido suitable for large teams?

Yes. Aikido scales well across large organizations and consolidates tools to reduce dev and security overhead.

Will I get support if I don’t spend $20k?

Yes. Unlike Snyk, Aikido provides real support no matter your contract size. No tiered nonsense.

Is it hard to switch from Snyk to Aikido?

No. Teams switching typically get up and running in a day. We support rip-and-replace workflows and have already replaced Snyk at companies like Visma and OTHER EXAMPLE.

How does Aikido handle false positives?

Aikido uses advanced filtering and reachability analysis to reduce false positives by ~85%, so developers spend less time triaging noise.

Does Aikido offer better coverage than Snyk?

Yes. Aikido includes DAST, API scanning, CSPM, and malware scanning by default—whereas Snyk often requires separate tools or lacks full coverage.

How does Aikido’s pricing compare to Snyk’s?

Aikido charges a flat, transparent fee. Snyk pricing scales aggressively by developer count, adds-on features (like CI/CD), and typically requires a $20k+ spend for support.

Why would I choose Aikido over Snyk?

Aikido is easier to use, delivers fewer false positives, covers more of the SDLC, and has a transparent pricing model that doesn’t punish you for scale.

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!
