works like a charm
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly excels at providing robust feature flagging capabilities which empower teams to control and roll out new features with incredible precision and safety. The platform's ability to segment and target specific user groups is particularly valuable, allowing for detailed, controlled testing and feature releases. The real-time updates without the need to redeploy code is a standout feature, facilitating a dynamic development environment that responds swiftly to the needs of the business and its users.
What do you dislike about the product?
One downside of LaunchDarkly is the complexity of its pricing structure. It can be somewhat opaque and potentially expensive, especially for smaller teams or organizations just starting out with feature flags. The initial setup and learning curve can also be steep for teams without prior experience in feature management. While the documentation is thorough, the sheer number of features and options can be overwhelming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reducing Need for Hotfixes and Rollbacks. When bugs slip through into production, the traditional response often involves hotfixes or rollbacks, which can be disruptive and time-consuming. With LaunchDarkly, we can quickly disable a problematic feature using feature flags without redeploying the entire application. This not only reduces downtime but also minimizes the impact on users, improving overall service reliability.
Easy to integrate, reliable and remarkable results
What do you like best about the product?
Multiple variations to configure the Flags is awesome. Configuration on the percentage basis is vary helpful. We use it everyday for launching new features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Changing a value of a flag in one environment also changes it in all environments. It would be nice if all environments can be ungrouped.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly helps in launching a new feature to a subset of users. We enable any new feature to a small percentage of users first and then gradually increase the precentage if all looks good. This helps us to fail faster if anything breaks in the new feature which eventually improves the user experience.
Easy, intuitive, fast
What do you like best about the product?
The Launch platform is very intutivie and user friendly.
We use it to have better control of our production environment, and are way more comfortable to deploy changes when we implemented behind feature flag.
The JS SDK is robust and pretty easy to integrate. the documentation is fairly good and they provide some good best practices.
We use the main functionality of feature enabling and disabling by session context, we are using it daily.
Great visibility with slack integration, we see the changes clearly which is very comfortable.
We did not need to contant customer support since the documentation is clear and comprehensive.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Running A/B testing to find the better solution to improve user expierence
2. Building new features behind a feature flag, so we can still merge code to main branch and deploy to production without impact on customers.

Great product, with a few small wrinkles
What do you like best about the product?
It's great to see many more features added into launch darkly regularly. It's a product I regularly use.
I work in the growth team for my company as an engineer and create many experiments with this product.
I enjoy using the product for its feature flag and A/B testing features. For feature flagging there are many feature flags we use to show and hide features to a sample of users and launch darkly is great at capturing certain populations of a sample set.
I also use launch darkly for its A/B testing and experimentation. It's much more complex than the simple feature flag

What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few small opportunities that would go a long way in making LaunchDarkly a much better product. I hope this information is useful to your engineering, design, and product team.
One issue I see regularly is when I am not on a network and I need a feature to be on it isn't clear on how to set this a feature to toggle on by default. It would be great to see LaunchDarkly build logic and improve the intuitiveness around the offline case.
While it was great to see that LaunchDarkly has features for grouping certain population sizes. It would be great to see a better UX around labeling groups.
LaunchDarkly also lacks key experimentation features. Albeit, I see that more features are added regularly. Excited to see them!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Feature flagging, experimentation, A/B testing, ramping for features for gaining samples and data for users using the product.
Comprehensive tool for feature flagging and experimentation!
What do you like best about the product?
I've used LaunchDarkly at a few companies now and have had a seamless experience every time. I love how straightforward it is and also how detailed their documentation is for the more complex features. I highly recommend LaunchDarkly as a product for other companies who don't want to worry about implementing their own experimentation or feature flagging capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I had to say something I dislike about LaunchDarkly, it would be how they organize the rules of whether the flag is turned on or not. It's a little bit confusing but if you poke around for a little bit, it does make sense.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I like that it's a low-cost way to enable feature flagging. My company was hitting Redis to query flags and now we don't have to worry about performance cost. The determination of whether a flag is on or not is done offline which is amazing.

Exceptional Feature Flagging Solution For Modern Development
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how easy LaunchDarkly is to use. It lets us release new features exactly how we want, whether it's slowly to some users or all at once. Even though it has lots of useful options, it's not complicated. The dashboard is clear and everything is easy to find. I personally had a good experience navigating the dashboard
What do you dislike about the product?
One thign that I'd like to see improve in LaunchDarkly is the documentation. The documentation is pretty decent but there were times when we've wished for clearer examples and more detailed explanations, especially for some of the advanced features
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly provides solution in feature management, allowing us to easily rollout new features to specific user groups or environments. This has significantly reduced the many risks associated with feature releases and enhanced our ability to deliver updates more efficiently. We pretty much use this feature in all our new features and its pretty handy. Overall, LaunchDarkly's feature management and A/B testing capabilities have streamlined our development process and improved our ability to deliver impactful features to our users.
Lifesaver
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly is not just an excellent product, but they are thought leaders. The customer support and community really seal the deal.
What do you dislike about the product?
Communicating the difference between having "targeting on" and "on for users" is semantically confusing for some internal users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly is critical for our product delivery. We can target features for internal users during validation. We can trust that feature releases are independant of deployments.
Streamlined feature rollout
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly streamlines feature rollouts with intuitive flagging and insightful analytics. It's helpful at empowering us to deliver with confidence.
What do you dislike about the product?
Learning curve for teams new to feature flagging and experimentation frameworks. It may take some time for teams to fully understand and leverage all of the platform's capabilities effectively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Turns on/off features on demand and ease of roll out for new features.
