Experimentation simplified
What do you like best about the product?
The user experience is great and the layout is straightforward. You can configure experiments based on customizable attributes like user ID, email etc. to ensure only your target cohort sees the A/B test experience
What do you dislike about the product?
If you want to update a flag in multiple enviornments you need to go into configurations for each enviornment and update them separately. Would be nice to have tabs or a way to navigate on the same screen between different environments
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Running experiments for feature launches
Effective, fun and convenient to work with LD
What do you like best about the product?
The convenience of viewing and simplicity, without too many complications, you can tell from the main page which feature flags serve true/false and the statistics and the ease of operation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Many times I want to get a snapshot of a certain feature (which can include several feature flags or even different accounts under LD) and apart from manually going through each of the feature flags, I don't have a convenient way to do it.
So both in terms of viewing and in terms of control, I would be happy to unify the number of feature flags under the same "group" for viewing/control.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The danger of changing a code that many rely on separately without testing it gradually/possibility to turn it off if something happens.
LD meets exactly this need.
LD meets exactly this need.
LD has been a consistent, reliable, and often used tool in our tool chain.
What do you like best about the product?
Mostly that it's reliable. The usage graphs are handy. Once set up, the toggles are generally pretty easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's gotten harder to setup a simple flag. There are different wizards for flag setup and it's still not immediately clear why. It doesn't seem like it should be something that requires extensive documentation. I would prefer a page with all the possible toggles and buttons to customize a flag, instead of a wizard that describes potential use cases for how to use a precreated flag. I don't trust the wizard knows how I use LD flags, nor do i fully understand what it means. For example a flag is used for "migrations" - what does that truly mean. I don't want to read through documentation assuming an abstraction. All I need to know is when it's on and when it's off and the possible configuration I can give it. The wizard assumes too much of a use case without explaining how it actually works. I would prefer to know what exactly it does, and maybe have documentation that provides potential use cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Feature management. If we are migrating to a new feature, or want to do testing. Primarily a true/false switch that has extra parameters for user, company, project, whatever. Seems pretty replaceable to be honest.
Very useful feature flag product
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to turn on and off each flag.
What do you dislike about the product?
The inclusion of the code to manage the flags is not so strightforward, and less if you want to use some other extra features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves that we can release features safely and we can turn them on and off to test in a timely manner.
Easy to integrate and use.
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility it provides for release rollout and feature flagging.
What do you dislike about the product?
New UI is confusing to use, old UI is more intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Rollout features based on region, rollback bad release.
Good tool for feature flag management
What do you like best about the product?
Lauchdarkly is easy to use. It is straighforward to get onboarded. It allows us to release new features with confidence behind the flag, which derisk each release. We used Launchdarkly often for most of our feature releases that can impact the end users.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is expensive for each user. We have very limited license due to the cost, and not everyone can have access to it. It gets a bit challenging to track everything when we have more and more feature flags. We have seen cases that we have production outage due to the feature flag diffs between staging and production env.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows us to manage feature flags and turn on/off each feature with ease. We can quickly disable the feature if any issue is detected.
It allows us to gradually release features with a stable rollout strategy.

The premier product in Feature releasing
What do you like best about the product?
Before lunch, Stockley we had an in-house solution which required making calls to a server and changing data via HTTP post calls. LaunchDarkly quickly solved this issue by making a straightforward approach to our feature flagging solution. Furthermore, they add release support and new features very frequently.
What do you dislike about the product?
How disconnected the environments are I wish that there was an ace of use to set up a feature flag initially with preloaded features such as a template
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps an CI/CD pipeline and releasing directly to the client without affecting any existing work
Good A/B Testing Framework
What do you like best about the product?
Bunch of features for A/B testing, with multiple pipeline supported. Dev support (vscode extension) is also another bonus.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. We don't use all the features offered. But for it's offering for A/B testing, control gate, it is sufficient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Slowly releasing feature behind a control gate. Targeting customers/audience for pilot.
Launchdarkly is easy to reason about and generally stable
What do you like best about the product?
Launchdarkly does not have many incidents in my experience, meaning that we are able to bake in feature flags with confidence in many of our systems. This enables us to test functionality, expose it to a subset of users, and generally control our rollsout more effectively.
We use Launchdarkly across a number of services in our stack for everything from rollout to dynamic configuration to feature gating. It is very easy to add launchdarkly to your stack.
I have never needed to reach out to customer support to resolve any problems so I can't speak to that dimension.

What do you dislike about the product?
Launchdarkly can have a bit of a clunky UI in some places (for instances, permissioning can be a bit confusing). This is not a major problem, but discoverability can be a bit difficult in the product itself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly adds very easy ability to use stable feature flags in our services. This benefits testing and rollout greatly.
An convinced and easy method to control abilities across environments
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly facilitates seamless feature rollout, allowing teams to deploy updates with precision and control.
Its feature flagging system enables real-time monitoring and experimentation which is highly used in my team.

What do you dislike about the product?
One potential drawback of LaunchDarkly is the complexity that can arise when configuring feature flag rules, which may lead to confusion or misconfiguration, especially for less experienced users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly empowers you to introduce new features gradually by toggling feature flags, ensuring a smooth rollout without disrupting the user experience. Its feature flagging capabilities enable quick iteration and experimentation, allowing you to gather insights and refine new features based on real-time feedback.
