We've been using Launchdarkly to control experiments or changes that we want to A|B test in Prod.
What do you like best about the product?
Control experiments easily and ability to target users directly, by percentage or also by cid.
What do you dislike about the product?
A UI Change was recently made to LD and before it was easier to create simple flags and now it is more difficult to understand and to create simple flags.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving the ability to turn on/off features in Prod that previously required us to rollback Prod for all features when we know that the issue is a single feature.
Makes managing development easier
What do you like best about the product?
It makes managing different environment setups much easier. It gives users a much easier way to manage features.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have had an issue where a user has been able to make a change without permission and this has led to issues on our end. It would be nice to have a feature where someone could make a change request and it could be approved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to manage features across different environments
My experience has been overall positive.
What do you like best about the product?
It's helpful being able to use the feature flags for hiding bits of code until its ready for use and being able to limit or slowly rollout the users who are able to interact with the hidden feature. It's also helpful for people that are not devs on the team as they can turn on/off features without a dev changing the codebase.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dont really have any dislikes of the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its allowing devs on our team to continue pushing new code into any env branch while also keeping the branch deployable at anytime. It simplifies our branching strategy and it provides a fast on/off switch for example, a feature not performing as expected without the need to go through another dev life cycle & deployment.
Excellent and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
LD has made rolling out to varying customers quick and easy while lowering the time to recover in the event of issues. It has been very easy to integrate into our services. Managing flags and segments is straight forward and they offer tons of analytics to understand the state of the flags.
What do you dislike about the product?
LD does not make it easy to support integers as strings when applying targeting rules. It's not common knowledge you have to copy a letter at the start of the list to change the type. The UI often hangs or fails when working with large amounts of targets in segments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our business had an in-house feature flag system that offered On/Off support and some targeting. LaunchDarkly allows us to transition away and have smarter rollout plans through segment targeting or percent rollouts. This also decreases risk by allowing us to try new features out on customers in beta programs, etc.
I use LD flag to control and test new API behaviour
What do you like best about the product?
I have the flexibility to control multiple varations at the same time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features have usage description in document. However the example is unclear. If LD has more example of different usage cases, it will be more helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work with LD to enable new features; adjust different threshold to observe behaviour changes; disable variation to see error result thrown by API.
Easy to use for
What do you like best about the product?
always use launch darkly for releasing new feature. It give more confidence that if anything happens I can roll back simply turning off flag.
What do you dislike about the product?
There was some learning curve to understand detailed features.
(e.g. release vs.custom tag, context for each domain - it might be because of our system structure, etc)
(e.g. release vs.custom tag, context for each domain - it might be because of our system structure, etc)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For the new feature, always hiding behind feature flag and increase targeting numbers which give me confidence.
Launch Darkly
What do you like best about the product?
Extremely fast and easy to use. Onboarding team was very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
None. The platform works well and their documentation allowed us to get started quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We mainly use LD for enabling feature rollout.
great remote control tool
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly is adopted across the company. No need to purchase additional license
What do you dislike about the product?
It works well for our need to control features remotely so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Consolidate our feature control solution across different platforms.
adding feature flags to do A/B testing
What do you like best about the product?
easier and quick to add/remove feature flags.
What do you dislike about the product?
N.A I do not have any specific area that I dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
making it easy to introduce feature flags for a/b testing
Launch Darkly is easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
The environment specific keys is a great feature and the values are fetched quickly programatically unlike other feature flag providers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as of now. Things have just worked fine with Launch Darjly for me
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Earlier I used to store my feature flags in database, now I am using Launch Darkly for this purpose. Its very quick to access the flags from Launch Darkly.
