Capabilities Compared
| Capability | DryRun Security | Aikido | Verdict |

| Detection Categories1 | |||
| What this tool covers | ℹ | ℹ SAST, SCA, Secrets, IaC, Container, DAST. |
— |
| AI & Intelligence9 | |||
| AI-Native Architecture | ✓ | ~ Aggregator platform (SAST/DAST/SCA/IaC/Container) with AI features added. Breadth-first rather than AI-native. |
DryRun leads |
| Agentic / Multi-Agent System | ✓ PR review and repository investigations use specialized security agents and evaluations. Source |
~ Pentesting-bot fleet marketed as agents; focused on DAST-style probing |
DryRun leads |
| Natural Language Policies | ✓ | ~ Some NL support in custom rules; not a policy engine |
DryRun leads |
| Model-Independent Verification | ✓ DryRun security evaluation is separate from developer or supported coding-agent repair. Changed code receives fresh review. Source |
✗ Aggregates multiple scanners but does not cross-verify AI-generated code. |
DryRun leads |
| Code Security Knowledge Graph | ✓ PR reviews and DeepScan both build and use the DryRun Security Context Graph. |
~ Learns from triage decisions; not a formal knowledge graph |
DryRun leads |
| Cross-repo Analysis | ✓ DryRun looks locally first and, when needed, automatically investigates relevant context, such as authorization logic, across repositories it has permission to access. |
✗ — |
DryRun leads |
| Code Security Memory | ✓ Retained application context and feedback inform later investigations; changed code receives fresh review. Scanner-excluded candidates and human dismissals are distinct records. Source |
✗ — |
DryRun leads |
| Custom DryRun Cyber Models | ✓ | ✗ — |
DryRun leads |
| Multi-model Architecture | ✓ Routes each task to the best-fit model rather than relying on a single LLM. |

DryRun leads |
| AI Coding Agent Security6 | |||
| Securing AI-Generated Code | ✓ Reviews human- and AI-written code in connected, configured workflows. Source |
~ Scans AI-generated code as part of its all-in-one platform. No dedicated AI code security workflow. |
DryRun leads |
| AI Coding Visibility / Observability | ✓ Code Insights with AI Assistance (beta): NL queries for risk, trends, exposure; org-wide visibility; per-repo drill-down; file-level security history |
~ Standard security dashboard; not AI-specific |
DryRun leads |
| Malicious AI Agent Skill Detection | ✓ Policy Library includes Malicious AI Agent Skills Detection: flags skills/plugins that could enable data theft, backdoors, or code execution |
✗ No dedicated MCP/agent skill scanning; general SAST/DAST only |
DryRun leads |
| MCP Integration | ✓ DryRun Insights MCP server: security summaries, PR analysis, trend monitoring, file-level history; connects via Direct HTTP, Claude Shortcuts, or mcp-remote |
✓ MCP documented as an expansion pack |
Tie |
| Continuous Enforcement Layer | ✓ Configured PR findings fail checks; required source-control protections enforce the customer’s merge policy. Source |
✓ | Tie |
| Per-Review Economics (predictable vs. usage-metered) | ✓ Flat subscription pricing based on team size. Usage pricing applies to DeepScan product. |
✓ Flat platform pricing with published tiers. |
Tie |
| Code Security Intelligence3 | |||
| Business Logic Flaw Detection | ✓ Investigates authorization and business-logic vulnerabilities such as IDOR and tenant-isolation failures. Source |
~ AI pentesting bots probe for IDOR and auth bypass; DAST-style, not SAST-level |
DryRun leads |
| Git Behavioral Analysis | ✓ DeepScan uses Git Behavioral Graphs for churn, temporal coupling, knowledge decay, anomalies and intent analysis. Source |
✗ Not available |
DryRun leads |
| Continuous Baseline & Risk Trending | ✓ Risk Register with Critical/High/Medium/Low severity; AI Assistance for Insights with NL queries, trend monitoring, and 30-day window analysis |
✓ Reports trends in open, new, handled and overdue findings over time. Source |
Tie |
| Workflow & Supply Chain2 | |||
| SCM Support | ✓ GitHub and GitLab (native apps with OAuth) |
✓ GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps |
Tie |
| SBOM / AI-BOM Generation | ✓ | ✓ CycloneDX SBOM generation; container image SBOM |
Tie |
| Reporting & Compliance1 | |||
| Compliance Framework Mapping (SOC 2, PCI, NIST, OWASP, MISRA, STIG) | ~ | ✓ Documents control-coverage reports for SOC 2, ISO 27001, OWASP, NIST 800-53 and PCI DSS, among other named frameworks. Source |

ℹ 4.6/5 (139 reviews) — g2.com/products/aikido-security/reviews |
— |
| Notable G2 Praise (Attributed) | ℹ "DryRun goes far beyond what rule-based SAST tools offer. It catches things other tools completely miss — like middleware that's defined but never mounted, or trust boundary misalignments." — Jabez A., Director, Product Security Architecture, Enterprise (g2.com/products/dryrun-security/reviews) |
ℹ "Great all-in-one security platform for startups" — praised for ease of setup and unified scanning (g2.com/products/aikido-security/reviews) |
— |
| Notable G2 Criticisms (Attributed) | ℹ "I do somewhat wish there were more customization options for tuning the analyzers, but that seems to be in the works." — Kyle R. (g2.com/products/dryrun-security/reviews) |
ℹ "SAST depth not at enterprise level for complex codebases." (g2.com/products/aikido-security/reviews) |
— |
| Common G2 Complaint Themes | ℹ UI/portal speed; desire for more analyzer customization (g2.com/products/dryrun-security/reviews) |
ℹ SAST depth not enterprise-grade; some integrations still maturing (g2.com/products/aikido-security/reviews) |
