Excellent Release Control for Confident Launches
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly provides excellent control throughout the release process, making it easier to manage and adjust releases with confidence.
What do you dislike about the product?
The API documentation could have been better, especially when it comes to setting up LD flags at scale.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
During a new feature release, the confidence LaunchDarkly provides is unparalleled. I can choose to roll out a specific feature to a set of users, companies, or segments, which makes it great for controlled feature rollouts and production testing without having to worry as much about customer concerns.
Empowers Feature Management with Easy Configuration
What do you like best about the product?
I like that LaunchDarkly is very configurable, allowing me to set values for feature flags across different environments like dev, QA, staging, and production etc. It also lets me configure various parameters that our UI or API works on, making it flexible. I appreciate that it can handle not just true or false values but also return string values and lists, which I find beneficial.
What do you dislike about the product?
At this moment, I think there is no external APIs allowed by LaunchDarkly to show the feature flag values. So our organization planned to build an internal app or page to let product managers and others see the feature flags and their values without giving everyone access to LaunchDarkly. We couldn't find an external API that supports this, as LaunchDarkly doesn't expose the endpoint for flag names and values. I think it is a limitation for my organisation's requirement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly for feature flags, enabling my team to ship new features safely. It lets us turn features on or off to prevent customers from encountering defective products, and supports both Boolean, string and list values for robust API and UI functionality.
Love the UI: Clean, Intuitive, and Easy to Use
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is very good and convenient. It feels like Git, but for configuration changes, which makes it really convenient to use
What do you dislike about the product?
I receive emails about every change, and I feel the review group is too broad
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems it solves for me are mainly being able to change configuration without any code changes, and being able to see which feature flags are enabled for each organization.
Granular Targeting with Improved Feature Control
What do you like best about the product?
I like the granular targeting capabilities of LaunchDarkly. Using custom rich contexts helps us to specifically target users not only by their user and tenant but by other non-trivial properties that we collect on the endpoint. This feature is incredibly valuable for rolling out feature flags and configuration for sensitive features.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the lack of crypto-signature support in LaunchDarkly. I would appreciate a feature allowing the signing of feature flag responses, either BYOK or signing with a LaunchDarkly private key.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly for the rollout of feature flags and configuration for sensitive features. It helps us manage feature exposure to different customers based on their novelty appetite and serves as a kill switch during disasters. The granular targeting with custom rich contexts is particularly valuable.
Time-Saving Feature Management with LaunchDarkly
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to integrate LaunchDarkly into our app, even in a complex enterprise Angular application. The straightforward implementation and creation of new feature flags save us a lot of time and effort, allowing new feature flags to be created in just minutes. I appreciate the well-designed dashboard, offering plenty of metrics to evaluate statistics for each flag. It's clear to see the state of each flag at any given time, which helps avoid mistakes. The organization of the dashboard into projects makes it easy to manage a large number of flags. What I like most is the rapid toggling response; changes reflect in the app in just 3-5 seconds after saving. We've also had a smooth experience with no server downtime during tests. I first heard about LaunchDarkly from a teammate and found it to be incredibly likable from the start. The initial setup was straightforward, and with just a Confluence article and a short call, we had it fully integrated in under two days. I rate it a 10 for its time-saving feature flagging and other capabilities, even those I haven't explored yet.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that comes to my mind is to improve the possibility to completely get rid of feature flags created by mistake. I've only found the options to archive or deprecate it. But in some projects could be dozens of flags, and not necessarily all of the are required... so it would be nice to be able to delete them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly to control access and visibility of features without redeploying, which saves time. It allows almost real-time changes to feature flags, eliminating the need for backend development or hardcoding values.
Effortless Feature Management, Needs Better Slack Integration
What do you like best about the product?
I like using LaunchDarkly because it's easy to use, fast, and cool. It helps me open features for specific customers based on a particular timeframe or need. I appreciate picking a group or audience using a UUID to identify accounts and then enabling the relevant flag.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the Slack integration was better, and I could ask directly from there using AI. If I can tell the LD bot on Slack to open a feature flag for a customer, and it would find the UUID and do it for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly helps me open features for certain customers at specific times. I can pick a group using UUIDs and enable the necessary flags easily and quickly.
Effective Feature Management, Needs Better User Debugging
What do you like best about the product?
I like LaunchDarkly's interface and the ability to set different audiences. I also appreciate that it supports not just boolean values, but different types of data. Additionally, the initial setup was fine with easy-to-follow documentation and guides.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's very hard to compare different variants at the same time to debug issues or get all the flags for a given audience across the flags in a single environment. For example, I want to check how a single user or single entity has all the flags for the production environment, but I'm not sure how to get that data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly to roll out features gradually without breaking everything, providing confidence and control.
Streamlined Feature Flag Management with Comprehensive Docs
What do you like best about the product?
I really liked that the documentation was great with LaunchDarkly. I had to implement a custom flag based on database values and the examples and docs helped me accomplish this without prior experience with LaunchDarkly. I also found the setup and configuration that I did to be straightforward. Additionally, the platform made easier the tasks we previously handled with database settings and internal tool configurations. For more common tasks, it looks pretty easy to use from the UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
I had to dig a bit in the docs to find what I needed. I also leveraged AI to find others who had done similar tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly allows us to enable features on an account basis and effortlessly toggle features on or off. It simplifies our previous process, which relied on database settings and internal configurations.
Safe, Targeted Rollouts with Clear UI and Audit History
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to roll out changes safely, targeting specific users, doing gradual rollouts, and instantly rolling back if something looks off. The UI is clear and the audit/history makes it easy to track what changed and why.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can feel a bit complex at first especially with lots of flags and rules and it’s easy for flags to pile up if you don’t stay on top of cleanup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly helps us ship changes more safely by separating releases from deployments. We can roll out features gradually, target specific users/segments, and quickly turn things off if there’s an issue so we reduce risk, move faster, and troubleshoot incidents without rushing hotfix deployments.
Custom Attributes Are a Game-Changer for Flexible Flag Control
What do you like best about the product?
Custom attributes for me personally is a game changer, as it allows us to control flags based on a range of data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI/UX experience is not the best. It can be quite confusing to get started with LD.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For us it's making it possible to deploy often without worrying about breaking the user experience.
