steadybit Reviews & Product Details

Steadybit offers a scalable and performant Chaos Engineering solution that has significantly improved the resilience of our services. As a large enterprise with thousands of services managed by hundreds of scrum teams and demanding high Availability SLAs, we rely on robust software.

The Steadybit team has been a valuable partner for several years, providing timely and quality support while developing a solid, feature-rich solution. We are highly satisfied with their software and collaboration. If you are seeking a wholistic, end-to-end Chaos Engineering platform, I’d strongly recommend Steadybit.

While not strictly a "dislike," a common question in the industry is about alternatives to Steadybit. While open-source solutions exist and can form the basis of a chaos engineering practice, they may only be viable for smaller organizations. Beyond a certain operational scale, maintaining and evolving an open-source tool often becomes significantly more time-consuming. Furthermore, these alternatives may lack specific features critical to larger, more complex environments. Therefore, a thorough evaluation of the pros and cons is necessary before making a final decision. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

I really benefit from Steadybit's programmatic scalability and its interesting features like reliability advice, which bolster our chaos engineering strategy and help it grow into a more self-service capacity. The support team is great; they are always eager to assist us, gather requirements for new features, and help with any implementation issues or malfunctions related to their services. The initial setup of Steadybit was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the features we are looking to use to expand our chaos engineering to self service require to be tuned and extended to meet our case. It is not out of the box. We are looking to use the Advice section to have an inventory and automatically run injections. That is not something that it is currently supported out of the box.

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.

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.

They can make their product even more friendly for not so technical people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy it is to create and safely run chaos experiments, and how intuitive the interface is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t like that, in some scenarios, the initial setup and the learning curve for more advanced use cases can be a bit time-consuming, and some features/integrations could still use better documentation and more ready-to-use examples. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike, the memory footprint was a bit high but it has been taken care of with the new golang architecture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
