Launch Darkly Feature Flags
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of creating and processing feature flags in Launch Darkly. They make it easy to protect our work before releasing to production. Love being able to see different environments all at once.
What do you dislike about the product?
At first I disliked how when turning flags on/off it wasn't as easy before. Now I have gotten use to it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to protect our development work from being released to different environments before we are ready to be released.
New update enables comprehensive feature management
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Recently, I like this new update where we can see and manage everything through it. Also, from the development side, it allows us to manage multiple things. Additionally, I like the services provided, like managing through the internet on and off.
What needs improvement?
As of now, I do not see much room for improvement. The feature where one feature flag is dependent on another could be explored more for our usage.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used it for almost two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Sometimes it breaks down. Only last week, we were getting a 500 error.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Users can easily scale up or down.
How are customer service and support?
I have not contacted their support team for any reason.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is easy.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I am not sure about the pricing or setup costs. It is all handled by our organization.
What other advice do I have?
You can manage through the reach of flags for different credential regions. You can turn on or off features for different environments. This is pretty useful.
I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
Valuable features to adjust dynamic config
What do you like best about the product?
I think Ease of Use and Implementation is the best.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any opinion for this question.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have various features to provide depending on user and app version.
To manage one by one, we should have a mangement tool, and we use LaunchDarkly

Great tool to deliver impact at velocity
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to tailor faeatures as per customer requirements and be able to carry out A/B testing and staged rollout very easily
What do you dislike about the product?
Their own updates are launched without much user education
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows us to rollout features without waiting for the testingto be concluded across entire user base and all other custom implementations
Easy to manage feature flags as a Product Manager
What do you like best about the product?
- feature rich: you can schedule feature flags, layer approvals, experiment, and more
- UX makes it really clear which environment you're in
- Helps me manage releases when I need to coordiante several cross-functional teams

What do you dislike about the product?
- It's not the least expensive option, but for what you get it's worth it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have to release projects that require coordination across several teams, and all of these teams get done with their work at different times. It would be nearly impossible for everyone to target pushing their code live on the same day without the use of feature flags. Now, my team can finish their work and push it straight out, without worrying about blocking up the pipeline. When all teams complete their work, I have the control to flip all the flags on at once, after our Operations team has had a chance to do their comms about the change.
It quickly helps to enable the certain features based on the feature flags which is great
What do you like best about the product?
We mainly use it for feature flags fo enable certain features on the relevant services.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing at the moment as most of the features that i have used are great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its solving major problem where we have to enable certain features on specific services at relevant time and with launch darkly its helping a lot.
Very User friendly config store
What do you like best about the product?
1. Ease of use
2. The insights/evaluation feature which lets us see which rule got hit how many times
3. Ease of Integration

What do you dislike about the product?
1. The only thing is lack of validation mechanism - Given its a UI which allows us to write free text, it would be better that we are also optionally allowed to guardrails/UT/any other mechanism that can avoid chances of manual mistakes
2. Some times the config we update becomes a huge json. Would like the editor/input text area to be be able to format/beautify the text as needed so it becomes more readable

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Config Store - We extensively use LD as our dynamic config store which can be updated anytime and changes reflect within seconds. This lets us launch and maintain softwares really easily
2. Feature flag - Again this is our primary usecase. We use LD to enable/disable a feature to facilitate its launch
3. Degradation Lever - Sometimes we need to disable features to mitigate ongoing issues or intentionally degrade features in case of duress

Senior level software engineer
What do you like best about the product?
You do not have to write rollout code and there is a UI available to use. Being able to toggle my env's differbntly and being able to rollout to a user or a percetage has been most useful for my team. I look forward to using other LD features and ppreciate that more features are coming.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing has been unhelpful but the simple fact that we are using a 3rd party adds compplexity if LD has any downtime.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
An out of the box solution for feature managment which benefits us b/c we do not need to spend dev time on it. Having analytics has also been beneficial.
Launch Darkly provides with real-time control over feature release but requires careful management
What do you like best about the product?
- Ease of adding new variation
- Real time changes to feature flags
- Real time changes to feature flags
What do you dislike about the product?
- learning curve is huge for new onboarding
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Launch darjly neatly provides for all configuration against a project like all environments that can be adjusted for their values. The new UI is super clean
Effective feature flagging and experimentation tool
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, enables controlled feature rollouts and experimentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI breaks when manually targeting over 10k users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly allows us to safely release new features, run experiments, and take risks without impacting the user experience, which speeds up decision-making and iterations.
