What do you like best about the product?

Over the past nine months a strong and fruitful collaboration has been established between our organization and Steadybit. Throughout the entire process, the Steadybit engineering team have demonstrated a steadfast commitment to meeting the needs of our unique infrastructure and business framework. I would like to point out the easy installation of the steadybit agent and extensions using all latest DevOps and GitOps patterns. Overall, the team has handled our requirements with remarkable professionalism, delivering rapid, precisely tailored updates coupled with expert support.

What do you dislike about the product?

So far, I have no negative comments about the Steadybit Chaos Engineering Platform.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The Steadybit platform has enabled us to take a more proactive approach to testing, which has strengthened the resilience of our ecosystem and increased our confidence in the reliability of our services.

What do you like best about the product?

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.

What do you dislike about the product?

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.

What problems is the product 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.

What do you like best about the product?

Number of Attacks and features
API
UI design and ease of use
The reactivity of the customer support
Easy to implement within our kubernetes architecture

What do you dislike about the product?

Nothing to dislike, the memory footprint was a bit high but it has been taken care of with the new golang architecture.
