Gremlin is one of the few good Chaos Engineering Provider with continuous improvements **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pranav S. | Senior Staff Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 16, 2022 **What do you like best about Gremlin?** Support for Chaos Engineering on Cloud Platforms for testing weak points in infra availability, resilience & security. Support is good for new implementations. **What do you dislike about Gremlin?** The only thing I can think is that providing support to new technologies like Serverless on cloud continuos updates are required as Cloud Platforms change. So a maturity model is quite tough to maintain for such Chaos products. **What problems is Gremlin solving and how is that benefiting you?** Try to find How the system will behave under inevitable failures like a specific Service or VM is down, how much time to recovery(MTTR), how resilient architecture handles random failures. Emulating black holes service to simulate different service failures helps understand cascading failures, which you might not expect in design earlier. How interconnected services will behave/misbehave in dependency failure & prevent data loss with middleware failures ### 2. Go to solution to get started with Chaos Engineering **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Reuben Rajan G. | Resilience & Chaos Engineering, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 02, 2022 **What do you like best about Gremlin?** Easy to use chaos engineering tool, minimal installation, great for entrants in chaos engineering concepts. Easy cloud integration. Lots of documentation to get started quickly. **What do you dislike about Gremlin?** Has limited support for on-premise chaos injection, and it requires a subscription to run multi-point chaos experiments. Open-source version of the product is not available, **What problems is Gremlin solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use Gremlin to run chaos tests against our K8 workloads hosted on AWS. Our teams can get quickly onboarded with the chaos engineering concepts. Great tool for our new joiners. ### 3. Feature-full graph traversal language **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2022 **What do you like best about Gremlin?** Gremlin is quite easy to learn and use. I like that it supports both graph traversals and graph pattern matching (aka declarative traversals). In many cases, I would prefer the Gremlin syntax to the SPARQL syntax. **What do you dislike about Gremlin?** I would be interested to see inferencing support (materialized on not) in the future. Mixing features like declarative and non-declarative traversals could be a bit cumbersome. **What problems is Gremlin solving and how is that benefiting you?** There are many use cases where the property graph data model and graph traversals with Gremlin can be very useful. I used Gremlin to solve problems related to fraud detection, real-time recommendations and customer 360. ## Gremlin Discussions - [What is Gremlin used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/gremlin-what-is-gremlin-used-for) - [View Gremlin pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/gremlin/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-13+11%3A29%3A51+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=3782bf54-e5e1-42c2-bace-2741bdf7a56c&secure%5Btoken%5D=d0cf5838069f8cea9ebb9dfbb883d14804b2be4ebe75f75f93203f2bf41e9582&format=llm_user) ## Gremlin Features **Functionality ** - Test Feedback - Test History - Customization - Test Variety **Telemetry Collection & Ingestion - Observability** - Multi-Telemetry Ingestion - OpenTelemetry Support **Agentic AI - Software Testing** - Autonomous Task Execution - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance **Agentic AI - Observability Software** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Automation** - Organization - Reliability - Thoroughness **Visualization & Dashboards - Observability** - Service Dependency Mapping - Unified Dashboard - Trace Visualization **Agentic AI - Automation Testing** - Autonomous Task Execution - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance **Correlation & Root Cause Analysis - Observability** - Cross-Telemetry Correlation - Root Cause Detection - Intelligent Alerting **Scalability & Ecosystem Integration - Observability** - Kubernetes Monitoring - Hybrid/Multi-Cloud Support **AI Features - Observability** - Predictive Insights - AI-Generated Incident Summaries - AI Anomaly Detection ## Top Gremlin Alternatives - [Postman](https://www.g2.com/products/postman/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (1,718 reviews) - [BrowserStack](https://www.g2.com/products/browserstack/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (3,233 reviews) - [Panaya Smart Testing and Change Intelligence](https://www.g2.com/products/panaya-smart-testing-and-change-intelligence/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (500 reviews)
