SonarQube buries your team in warnings. Aikido fixes them.

Live in minutes

Aikido finds real issues in minutes. SonarQube takes 2 months to roll out to your teams.

Your rules, less noise

Aikido checks changed lines against your rules. SonarQube is known for excessive warnings.

Pay per developer

Engel & Völkers switched from SonarQube to Aikido

With Aikido we replaced three services: SonarQube for SAST, the dependency check, and a separate tool for secrets. Now we have everything in one place.

Code quality and security that fit your workflow and fix issues for you

Stay in your workflow

  • IDE plugins flag issues on save and offer a fix without leaving the editor

  • Findings and suggested fixes directly in your PRs

  • CI/CD checks catch issues before merging across GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps

Code Quality beyond the linter

  • Checks on every PR catch logic bugs, edge cases, and duplicated logic, explained in plain language

  • Write team rules in plain language, once, across 48 supported languages from COBOL to Zig

  • Quality gates on every PR: block merges by finding severity or test coverage threshold

Only see what is important

  • AutoTriage weighs reachability, exploitability, and code context before issues reach your queue

  • CVE exploitability analysis checks whether vulnerable dependencies are exploitable in your environment, not just present in a lockfile

  • Secrets AutoTriage prioritizes exposed secrets by status and privilege

Fix issues automatically

  • AutoFix opens reviewable PRs with a working patch across SAST, IaC, container, and dependency findings

  • Fixes can be set to merge automatically

  • Ask Aikido lets developers question findings and refine fixes in plain language

Why teams leave SonarQube for Aikido

Too many warnings

False positives and excessive warnings that still require manual triage.

Never-ending tuning

SonarQube has complex configuration and rule tuning that takes significant effort on large projects.

Waiting on support

G2 reviews consistently rate Aikido's support higher than SonarQube.

"There's no other vendor we've worked with that communicates so much and actually cares about what we say."

Reward Gateway switched from SonarQube to Aikido

"For me the answer is reachability. It shows what actually has to happen to exploit something, so you know which vulnerability is really going to be a problem. That was golden."
