Launch Darkly is a really good tool
What do you like best about the product?
I've heard engineers talk about how easy it is for them to put new features behind a feature flag in Launch Darkly. From the product side, its super easy to create segments of users. This has improved the way we manage our Alpha, Beta, and GA releases. I'm currently leading a huge intiative at the moment; I can not imagine doing this effectively without LD.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their zapier integration is limited. We were attempting to completely automate our beta process leveraging Launch Darkly + Hubspot forms. We failed to do so because LD's zapier integration doesn't support Segments. We are exploring leveraging their public API to build a custom solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped us do a few things better. 1. We manage alpha and beta releases more effectively. 2. We hav avoided massive outages by leveraging percentage based rollouts 3. It has helped us reduced the risk of launching large features or intiatives in our customer.

UI interface is very user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
The ease that I'm able to navigate around the UI and find what I want with having to search an alternate site. It's very easy to configure new settings.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing I can currently think of pertains.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The team is able to hide features to prod which allows us to deploy to prod early and not have to hold back features in different branches.
Overall, experience clear benefits from the product
What do you like best about the product?
My team releases firmware for an embedded product with a relatively slow cadence (months between releases). LaunchDarkly allows us to include riskier features faster with the option to roll them out slowly and disable them or tweak operating parameters if issues are discovered. It's very nice to be able to make configuration changes via LaunchDarkly as well without having to release new firmware.
What do you dislike about the product?
There seem to be some gaps in the approval process for making production changes. It's possible this has been fixed and I'm not aware, but I know we've had issues in the past where we've enabled required approval for production changes to flags, yet users have been able to create brand new flags and bypass the approval process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly helps us release features faster and with less risk of user impact. It also allows us to be more flexible in how we configure our software for different use-cases, including enabling features for different user-bases (beta testing, firmware versions, hardware platforms, etc.)
Launch Darkly is a great service to toggle any feature
What do you like best about the product?
1. It's a great tool for toggling features.
2. You can easily roll out or block a feature for specific customers without any hassle.
3. I use it daily, and it works smoothly with minimal impact on API latency.
4. Setting up a new LD flag takes only a minute.
5. It provides a rich SDK to integrate with Launch Darkly easily.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as such. Segments and Release features can be simplified.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'd point out two major problems that LD solves for my case,
1. We don't need to think about beta release to a small portion of customers. Just need to put the feature behind LD flag and control the flag from LD dashboard. That's it.
2. When we launch a new feature, we always put that feature behind LD flags. So that if something goes wrong, we don't need rollback anything in a hurry. Just toggle the LD flag by a single click. That would do the job.

Easy Launchdarkly Feature Flags
What do you like best about the product?
We have been using Launchdarkly feature flags for about 3 years now. We have been using them to run experiments, or as kill switches for various features. I would say, that they are straightforward to use. One thing that I like is how LaunchDarkly creates an event stream with the user's browser, and the value of the feature flag gets updated on all the clients as soon as you update the value of the feature flag.
We use it for almost every new feature that we build in the product, and we have easily integrated it with our MobX Library that is used for global state management, and it makes the integration even more simpler for the developers.

What do you dislike about the product?
The new UI that LaunchDarkly recently launched for feature flagging is not something that I like, I had built muscle memory for using the tool hence it has become a little tough for me to use it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- We use it to experiment with a new feature, and get analytics out of it before launching it for the entire user base.
- We are able to partially launch a feature to a subset of users, as we can very easily target to subset of users on the Product very easily using LaunchDarkly.
- Since LD uses an event stream, which modifies the value of the flag in the product as soon as it is updated from the LD Dashboard (without the need to refresh the page). We use use LD as a kill switch for features in which we not very confident about the implementation. With LD we are easily able to kill the code if anything goes south in real-time.

Using Launch Darkly to Control Features
What do you like best about the product?
I personally like how clean the UI is. You're able to see multiple configurations for a given flag in a relatively easy to use UI
What do you dislike about the product?
It's difficult to see different evaluations on a given feature flag between different configurations
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is allowing us to rollout features on a percentage basis, allowing us to incrementally increase load on a new flow without the risk of a small bug causing huge widespread issues
Great for mitigating risk for big rollouts and for experiments
What do you like best about the product?
Big launches could be done in percentage rollouts, reducing risk of breaking key functionality in production. We use it for every new feature release.
What do you dislike about the product?
The recent UI redesign made it less user friendly, unclear what the benefit of that redesign was.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need to release big features with confidence, but also mitigating risk at the same time. Percentage rollouts help a lot with this.
Deliver timely software with the least amount of risk
What do you like best about the product?
Many of our software deployments are behind LaunchDarkly's feature flags to ensure that the consumers of our APIs have consistant experience. Due to many dependencies, we are unable to guarantee when the clients can update their software. Often when there are issues it will be up to our backend teams to resolve.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the positives outweigh the negatives, the flexibility and risk mitigation is favored over the technical debt of cleaning up older flags.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Launch Darkly allows us the flexibility to turn on and off features, as well as silently deploying features for the future.
Excellent so far, the new UX is way better and modern. Enables our company to ship with confidence.
What do you like best about the product?
The UX - That's really the big value add for me. All the data you can get to help you take informed decisions.
The rollout functionality is a real game changer for us, especially as we scale.

What do you dislike about the product?
More like a feature request really - because we use Launch Darkly SDK in all our products, it would be nice to have a way to let our customers turn on and off some flags so they can beta try new features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
* Launch with confidence - the stagged roll out is really helping there
* Powers our A/B testing engine - we augment data with our own tools but LD provides the base.
* Let customer self serve some flags so they can try out beta feaatures

I use launch darkly on a daily basis at my job. It makes it easier to do releases for features.
What do you like best about the product?
It makes it easier for releases for my UI. It also quick and easy to rollback if there is an prod issue.
What do you dislike about the product?
The new UI is not as intuitive as the previous UI was. I like the previous UI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is consistent with our team's standard of coninuous delivery. It makes it easier to test features in production env before releasing it to customers.
