What do you dislike about the product?
limitation of LaunchDarkly is that its analytics and reporting features could be more detailed, especially for tracking the long-term impact of feature flags. Also, managing a large number of flags across multiple environments can sometimes feel cumbersome without better organizational tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly solves the problem of safely managing feature releases by providing real-time feature flagging, which helps avoid risky, large-scale deployments. It allows us to gradually roll out new features, test in production, and instantly roll back if needed, reducing downtime and ensuring a smoother user experience. This flexibility accelerates development cycles and improves overall product stability.

Review of LaunchDarkly by a Software Developer
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly makes feature flagging incredibly easy, allowing me to manage releases without redeploying code. Its intuitive interface and seamless integration with CI/CD pipelines are fantastic for quick feature toggles.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing structure can be steep for smaller projects, and I wish there were more out-of-the-box analytics for tracking feature performance over time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the problem of risky feature deployments by allowing me to toggle features on or off instantly, reducing downtime and making the release process smoother.
Great experience with UI but IAM provides hinderence
What do you like best about the product?
appreciate the flexibility that LaunchDarkly provides, especially when it comes to changing critical parameters, like the threshold of the transcoding queue, on the fly without any downtime. The UI is intuitive and well-designed, making it easy to navigate and manage feature flags. The explanations for different terminologies are clear and helpful, making it accessible even for team members who might not be familiar with the more technical aspects of feature flag management.
What do you dislike about the product?
However, I find that replicating the entire Amazon IAM role architecture for role management is overkill. While security is important, the complexity of this setup adds unnecessary overhead to managing access control. The role management system could be simplified without sacrificing flexibility or security, making it easier to configure permissions for users and teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to update some transcoding paramter on fly where we could not afford any downtime
Config store with good UI
What do you like best about the product?
UI and how things are classified in appropiate tabs and sections.
What do you dislike about the product?
Recent UI change where the variation edit and other items were moved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping us release a lot of features in prod with confidence. Also helping us manage so many feaure flags.
Very easy to use.
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use, good UI and features are also very easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes role assigment doesn't work properly, not able to select role to assig it to user, have to cancel and re-edit the user role.
