steadybit Reviews & Product Details

Steadybit is a chaos engineering and reliability management platform that makes it easy for organizations to find and fix potential performance risks early. Founded in 2019, the team behind Steadybit has been working with customers around the world to help them deliver more reliable services to their customers. Steadybit is the most flexible chaos engineering platform, designed for extensibility. Open source extensions power integrations with dozens of popular cloud providers, observability tools, load testing tools, message brokers, service meshes, and more. It's easy to add custom actions, extensions, advice, or targets using language-agnostic Steadybit Extension Kits. Even before running experiments, the Steadybit agent will automatically discover any reliability risks present in a customer's environment. The Reliability Advice feature in Steadybit guides teams on exactly how to fix these flagged issues and validate their fixes by running recommended experiments. With a no-code Experiment Editor, building new experiments from scratch is also fast. Engineers can drag-and-drop pre-built actions or templates into a timeline-based canvas, adjust attack settings, and ensure precise targeting. With blast radius settings to limit the potential impact and automated rollbacks, running experiments is controlled and safe. In the Experiment Run View, teams can watch their experiments execute in real-time and see exactly how their services perform under pressure. The platform is supported by the Reliability Hub, an open source library of hundreds of actions, templates, and extensions. Engineers can start building reliability tests quickly with all the tools they need to safely implement chaos engineering and proactive reliability testing across their organization. The Steadybit API, CLI, and MCP Server provide teams with multiple approaches to automate chaos engineering actions and incorporate experiments into CI/CD workflows. Customers can view several pre-built reports to quickly review and share the progress they have made in rolling out chaos engineering across their organization.

"Open, Extensible Chaos Engineering That Scales With Your Organization"

5/5

What do you like best about steadybit?

What really made Steadybit stand out during our proof of value was its open and extensible model. The fact that extensions are open source, that we can contribute back, and that we can build our own custom extensions was a decisive factor for us. Other vendors were largely on par in terms of features, pricing, and overall experience, but Steadybit’s openness aligned much better with how we work as an engineering organization.

From a UI standpoint, Steadybit also felt the most mature compared to other vendors we evaluated. The interface is well thought out, clear, and focused on enabling engineers to get things done quickly, without unnecessary friction or visual noise.

From the very first meetings, the Steadybit team was also very much down to business. We were clear that this was a technical evaluation and that we were not interested in polished sales decks or flashy presentations. We wanted to see what the product could actually do and get straight to the point, and they delivered. The focus was consistently on real capabilities, hands-on evaluation, and practical use cases.

From a day-to-day perspective, the platform is easy to use and integrates very naturally with Kubernetes. Creating and running experiments is straightforward, and the safety mechanisms make it suitable even for teams that are still building confidence in chaos engineering.

Customer support is another major strength. The Steadybit team is highly responsive, technically strong, and genuinely invested in our success. Questions, edge cases, and feedback are handled quickly, usually through direct conversations rather than slow back-and-forths. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about steadybit?

If I had to point out a downside, it would be that we’ve pushed the platform to its limits due to the size and complexity of our Kubernetes clusters. This is less a fundamental issue and more a natural result of operating at enterprise scale.

Beyond that, there are a few minor nitpicks here and there, but nothing blocking. In practice, most of these are resolved quickly through discussion with the Steadybit team, which makes them far less painful than they could otherwise be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is steadybit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before Steadybit, we didn’t have a reliable way to test, reproduce, or safely troubleshoot failure scenarios that we had experienced in production. Post-incident learning was largely theoretical, and validating assumptions around resilience was difficult.

Steadybit gives us a structured, safe, and repeatable way to experiment with failures and validate system behavior. Even though we are currently running it in pre-production, we are already seeing strong engagement from teams and growing confidence in chaos engineering as a practice. People are eager to use it because they can clearly see the value.

As we prepare to roll it out to production, Steadybit is helping us move from reactive incident handling to proactive reliability engineering, which is a significant shift for an organization of our size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Outstanding Experience from Start to Finish"

5/5

What do you like best about steadybit?

My experience with Steadybit has been genuinely impressive from day one. The installation was smooth and effortless—we were able to run experiments straight away, which was a huge relief after the challenges we faced with other tools. What really stood out, though, was the team behind it. They were incredibly responsive, always willing to jump on a call at short notice, and consistently supportive throughout the entire process. It felt like they genuinely cared about helping us succeed.

Using the platform itself has been a pleasure. Steadybit discovers everything accurately, and the way you select targets and build experiments is so intuitive that it removes all the usual friction. The reporting is simple, clear, and easy to work with, and the variety of attacks—especially around network behaviour—gave us exactly the flexibility we needed.

Overall, Steadybit felt reliable, modern, and backed by a team that goes above and beyond. It’s a tool I’d happily recommend because it not only works well, but it also makes the whole chaos engineering journey feel far smoother and more enjoyable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about steadybit?

I genuinely think Steadybit is the most complete chaos engineering tool on the market. From the moment we started using it, everything just worked—the installation was smooth, the UI is intuitive, and the experiment flow feels thoughtfully designed. Their team has been incredibly supportive and responsive, often jumping on calls at short notice and really partnering with us throughout the process.

What I appreciate most is how comprehensive the platform is: accurate discovery, easy target selection, clear reporting, and a wide range of powerful attacks, especially on the network side. It covers everything we need without the friction we’ve experienced elsewhere.

Overall, Steadybit doesn't just offer features—it delivers a full, polished experience that makes chaos engineering both effective and enjoyable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is steadybit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Steadybit is solving three big problems for us:

Visibility & Targeting Complexity

Before Steadybit, discovering the right services, nodes, and dependencies for chaos tests was time-consuming and often incomplete. Steadybit accurately discovers everything and makes target selection effortless.

Benefit: I can design meaningful experiments much faster, with confidence that I’m hitting the right components.

Operational Friction Around Chaos Testing

Other tools created blockers—installation issues, manual setup, confusing selectors, unclear reporting. Steadybit removes that friction completely.

Benefit: Chaos experiments go from a stressful, time-heavy process to something smooth and repeatable, which means I can focus on learning from failures rather than fighting the tooling.

Realistic Fault Injection for Modern Distributed Systems

Steadybit offers a richer and more practical library of attacks—especially on the network layer—which maps perfectly to the types of failures we actually care about in production.

Benefit: We can run experiments that reflect real failure scenarios, helping us build confidence in our systems’ resilience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
