Why teams choose Steadybit over Gremlin
Steadybit is designed to be the only chaos engineering solution that offers the flexibility of open source customization with the scalability of an enterprise platform. Gremlin has a closed-source architecture, which makes it harder to fit to your systems.
Make sure you can fully control your chaos engineering rollout.
Easier to Deploy
Steadybit easily integrates with your tech stack, whether it’s SaaS, On-Prem, air-gapped, multi-cloud, serverless… With one agent per network, deployment is simple.
Fully Customizable
With an open source extension framework, Steadybit enables teams to customize the platform to perfectly fit their systems and use cases. Add your own custom actions!
Get Insights Faster
We provide recommended experiments so teams know where to start. Use our library of templates and drag-and-drop actions to streamline building and get results faster.
Wait on Gremlin or build it yourself with Steadybit
Need a new integration or want to inject a custom fault? With Gremlin, you would need to submit a feature request.
Steadybit provides a library of hundreds of open source extensions and actions for popular tools. With our open source kits, teams can easily add customization to make Steadybit feel like their own internal tool.

Targeting and Visualization
Support for On-Premises
Monitoring and Load Testing
Query targets to create the exact experiment you want
When you install our agent on your network, Steadybit will automatically discover any potential experiment targets and pull in related metadata from your environment. With our intuitive query language, you can easily explore targets and view them in an interactive visualization with groups and filters.
Gremlin doesn’t provide a interactive visualization of your systems. There are limited options for selecting targets for experiments, and no ability to add custom attributes.
Years of experience supporting complex On-Prem deployments
Steadybit has always supported both SaaS and On-Prem deployments with full feature parity from Day 1. Our team has helped enterprise customers deploy and update Steadybit On-Prem for years.
Gremlin has recently announced On-Prem support for the first time as of January 2025. As with any new re-architected product offering, customers will likely encounter unexpected challenges and deployment complications.
Bidirectional integrations with popular observability tools
Monitoring and observability tools are key for seeing how your systems perform. Steadybit has tight integrations with tools like Datadog, Dynatrace, Grafana, Prometheus, Instana, and more. While you watch your experiment run, you’ll be able to see in real-time whether your monitoring tool raises an alert.
With Gremlin, there is support for some monitoring tools but the integrations are limited. For example, you can’t see if alerts are triggered while you watch your experiment run.

Faster Deployment and an Open Source Framework
Gremlin is a closed-sourced tool that requires an agent to be installed on each host. Steadybit is a hybrid-source platform that only requires one agent per network boundary. That means more flexibility and less setup time for your team.
