Covers detection strategy, noise/false positive reduction, AI-assisted triage and autofix capabilities, integration workflows, language coverage, pricing models, and enterprise fit. Key context: AI-generated code is increasing vulnerability volume, with engineers wasting 72% of triage time on false positives. Aikido (the author's own product) is ranked first for combining deterministic scanning with AI noise reduction and agentic code analysis. Checkmarx is flagged as slow and costly, Snyk Code as noisier than competitors, SonarQube as code-quality-first, GHAS as GitHub-locked, and Semgrep as best for teams writing custom rules. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
